When legato is on, multiple note-on message will not retrig-
ger the voice. If one note is already on and another note is
turned on, the oscillator sound, envelope, and LFO will not
be reset, and only the pitch of the oscillator will be updated.
This setting is effective for wind instrument sounds and
analog synth-type sounds.
Off (unchecked): Legato is off. Notes will always be retrig-
gered when note-on occurs.
When legato is off, multiple note-on’s will retrigger the
voice at each note-on. The oscillator sound, envelope, and
LFO will be reset (and retriggered) according to the settings
of the program.
If “Legato” is checked, certain multisamples or key-
board locations may produce an incorrect pitch.

Priority [Low, High, Last]

This parameter is valid when “Mode (Voice Assign Mode)”
is set to Mono.
It specifies which note will be given priority to play when
two or more notes are played simultaneously.
Low: Lowest note will take priority.
High: Highest note will take priority.
Last: Last note will take priority.

Hold [On, Off]

On (checked): Hold is On. Even when you take your finger
off of the key, the note will continue sounding as if it contin-
ued to be held. Unless the Amp1 EG, Amp2 EG (4–3a, 4–6)
“Sustain (Sustain Level)” is set to 0, the sound will continue
playing.
This is ideal for playing drum programs, and when you set
“Oscillator Mode” (1–1a) to Drums, you should turn On.
Off (unchecked): Hold is Off. Except for drum programs,
you should normally set Off.
If you turn “Hold” On for a drum program, keys of the
selected drum kit whose “Enable Note Off Receive”
parameter (Global P5: 5–2a) is unchecked will be set to
Hold On. Keys that are checked will be set to Hold Off.
If you select Hold Off, the keys will be set to Hold Off
regardless of their “Enable Note Off Receive” setting.
1–1c: Scale

Type [Equal Temperament…User Octave Scale15]

Selects the basic scale for the internal tone generator.
Equal Temperament: This is the most widely used scale,
where each semitone step is spaced at equal pitch intervals.
Pure Major: In this temperament, major chords of the
selected tonic will be perfectly in tune.
Pure Minor: In this temperament, minor chords of the
selected tonic will be perfectly in tune.
Arabic: This scale includes the quarter-tone scale used in
Arabic music.
Pythagoras: This scale is based on ancient Greek musical
theory, and is especially effective for playing melodies.
Werkmeister (Werkmeister III): This is an equal tempered
scale that was used since the later Baroque period.
Kirnberger (Kirnberger III): This scale was created in the
18th century, and is used mainly to tune harpsichords.
Slendro: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale in which an
octave consists of five notes.
When “Key” is set to C, use the C, D, F, G and A notes.
(Other keys will sound equal-tempered pitches.)
Pelog: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale in which an
octave consists of seven notes.
When “Key” is set to C, use the white keys. (The black keys
will sound the equal tempered pitches.)
Stretch: This tuning is used for acoustic pianos.
User All Notes Scale: This is the full-range scale (C–1 – G9)
that was specified in “User All Notes Scale” (Global P3: 3–
1b).
User Octave Scale 00–15: These are the single-octave scales
that were specified in “User Octave Scale” (Global P3: 3–1a).

Key (Scale Key) [C…B]

Selects the tonic note of the specified scale.
This setting is not valid for Equal Temperament, Stretch,
and User All Notes Scale.
Random [0…7]
As this value is increased, a greater variance will be applied
to the pitch when each note is sounded. Normally you will
set this to 0. This parameter is used when simulating instru-
ments that have natural instability in pitch, such as tape-
mechanism organs or acoustic instruments.
If a scale other than Equal Temperament is selected, the
combination of the selected scale and the “Key” setting
may skew the tuning of the base key (for example
A=440 Hz). If this occurs, use “Master Tune” (Global
P0: 0–1a) to correct the pitch.
▼ 1–1: Page Menu Command

1–1A: Copy Oscillator

This command is used to copy the settings from one oscilla-
tor to another.
1Select “Copy Oscillator” to access the dialog box.
2In “From” specify the oscillator to copy, and in “Pro-
gram” specify the bank and number of the copy source
program. You can use the Bank [INT-A]–[EXB-G] keys to
select the bank.
3In “To,” specify the copy destination oscillator.
4To execute the Copy Oscillator command, press the OK
button. To cancel, press the Cancel button.

1–1B: Swap Oscillator

This command exchanges the settings of oscillators 1 and 2.
1Select “Swap Oscillator” to access the dialog box.
2To execute the Swap Oscillator command, press the OK
button. To cancel, press the Cancel button.
This can be selected only if “Oscillator Mode” (1–1a) is
Double.
