Voice SYNTH/VOCODER, Single/Layer, Voice Assign

1.VOICE — SYNTH/VOCODER

These settings determine the basic character of the program, and how it will sound.

"SYNTH/VOCODER" (knob 1) specifies whether the program will be a synth program or a vocoder program. If you want this to be a synth

program, select Synthesizer (). "SINGLE/LAYER" (knob 2) specifies whether both timbres will be used (Layer) in the case of a synth program. Other parameters in this section specify whether the program will sound monophonically/polyphonically/unison, and how the notes will be triggered.

If you simultaneously press more keys than the specified number of voices, the last-pressed key will take priority.

SYNTH/VOCODER [Synthesizer, Vocoder]

Switches the currently selected pro- gram between a Synthesizer pro- gram and a Vocoder program.

Synthesizer ():

The program will be a synth pro- gram. You can use two oscillators to create the sound.

Vocoder ():

SINGLE/LAYER

[Single, Layer]

Specifies how many timbres the program will use. This cannot be selected for a vocoder program.

Single ( ):

Only one timbre will be used.

VOICE ASSIGN

[Mono, Poly, Unison]

Specifies how the timbre will be sounded.

Mono ():

The timbre will sound monophoni- cally. The program will play only one note at a time.

Poly ():

The program will sound polyphoni-

TRIGGER MODE [Single, Multi]

Specifies whether the EG and LFO will be retriggered when you play the next key while still holding down the previous key.

You can edit this if "VOICE AS- SIGN" is Mono or Unison.

Single ():

The EG and LFO will not be retriggered by the second or subse- quent key. Use this setting if you

UNISON DETUNE

[0...99]

Specifies the amount of detuning (in steps of one cent) between the notes sounded by Unison mode. You can edit this if "VOICE AS- SIGN" is set to Unison.

The detuning method will depend on the number of unison voices.

The program will be a vocoder pro- gram. You can use sound input from a connected mic to produce "talking" instrument effects.

Layer ():

Two timbres will be used. When you play the keyboard, both tim-

The maximum polyphony is four voices (four notes). In the case of a Layer program, these four voices are divided between tim- bres 1 and 2, so only two keys can be played in a layered program.
