Explanation of each area

1.

Current part, current patch name

Displays the currently selected part number and
patch name.

2.

Mono Mode

Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically
(Off) or monophonically (On). The “On” setting is
effective when playing a solo instrument patch such
as sax or flute.

3.

Legato Switch

This setting specifies whether the Legato will be used
(On) or not (Off).
With the Legato parameter “On,” pressing a key
while continuing to press a previous key causes the
note to change pitch to the pitch of the most recently
pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a
smooth transition between notes, which is effective
when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and
pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
Values:

Off

, On

Legato Switch is valid when the Mono Mode
parameter is set to “On.”

4.

Retrigger (Legato Retrigger)

The setting determines whether sounds are replayed
(On) or not (Off) when performing legato. Normally
you will leave this parameter “On.” When “Off,”
when one key is held down and another key is then
pressed, only the pitch changes, without the attack of
the latter key being played.
Values:
Off
, On

The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono Mode
parameter is set to “On” and the Legato Switch
parameter is set to “On.”

Let's say you have the Legato Switch set to “On,”
and the Legato Retrigger set to “Off.” When you try
to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a
lower key is held down), the pitch may sometimes
not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch
(stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This can
occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined
at the wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally,
if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves
of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop
being heard in MONO. When making large pitch
changes, set the Legato Retrigger to “On.”

Set this to “Off” when performing wind and string
phrases or when using modulation with the mono
synth keyboard sound.

5.

Portamento Switch

Specifies whether the portamento effect will be
applied (On) or not (Off).
Range:

Off

, On

Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the
pitch from the first-played key to the next-played

Range Explanation
Off

Two or more notes can be played
simultaneously.
On Only the last-played note will sound.
