40 | MASTER VOLUME AND POLY LEVEL
really take notice of the Env Time modulation (hence, a
very short attack time will not reveal any great change
when modulation is applied).
The Solaris has two volume level knobs – the Master
Volume and the Poly Level. The Master Volume is
programmable per preset, allowing you to balance the
output from preset to preset for optimum results.
The Poly Level is not stored in presets, but set de-
pending on the number voices of polyphony you have
selected for the Solaris to play. This circuit sets the
maximum amount of ‘headroom’ available for all voices,
to ensure that clipping is kept to a minimum, but that
you get the best levels for the polyphony required.
The Poly Level should be adjusted lower as the num-
ber of polyphonic voices increases. So, if you are set to
use 1 voice, and then set the Poly Level at 127; if you
select 4 voices, you probably want to adjust the level to
70 or so. The idea is to adjust it to the point just before
clipping, or to where you feel is good for your system.
Since this is a variable unknown by any preset cre-
ators, this parameter is not stored in the Preset List.
