Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator), call up the Key Edit display.
About the asterisk (*) marks
For users who are new to Voice editing and may be confused by the large amount of parameters, the most basic and easy-to-understand
parameters are conveniently marked with asterisks in this section. If you are just starting out with Voice editing, try these parameters first.

the Key—[F1] Oscillator

Assign Mode*
When this is set to “single,” double playback of the same
note is prevented. This is useful when two or more
instances of the same note are received nearly
simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off
message. To allow playback of each instance of the same
note, set this to “multi.” In general, you should probably set
this to “multi”—especially for tambourine and cymbal
sounds that you would want to ring out to their full decay,
when playing them multiple times in succession. Please
keep in mind that the “multi” setting consumes the overall
polyphony and it may cause sounds to be cut off.
Settings:
single, multi
single
When this is set to “single” and double playback of the same note are
transmitted to the internal tone generator, the first note will be stopped
then the next note will be sounded.
multi
When this is set to “multi” and double playback of the same note are
transmitted to the internal tone generator, all the notes are sounded
simultaneously.
8
Receive Note Off
Determines whether or not the selected Drum Key
responds to MIDI Note Off messages. This should be set to
on when the selected Drum Key has a sustained, non-
decaying sound (such as a snare roll), so that you can stop
the sound by releasing the note.
Settings:
off, on
