Solo PrioritySince the Solo part allows you to play only one note at a time (monophonic), it is important to select which note will beplayed by the Solo part when more than one key is played at a time.There are three options:Top Note The Solo part plays only the highest note among the notes played at one time.Bottom Note The Solo part plays only the lowest note among the notes played at one time.Last Note The Solo part plays only the last key played among the notes played at one time. Trigger ModeThe trigger mode determines whether or not the note played by the Solo part will be re-triggered when certain notesare released. There are two options:Retrigger When the note played by the Solo part is released, depending on the Solo priority setting the nextavailable priority note will be played automatically by the Solo part.For example: when the Solo Priority is set to Top Note and you release the highest note the next notebelow the note you released becomes the highest note and will now be played by the Solo part.No Retrigger When the note played by the Solo part is released, The Solo part will not automatically play the nextavailable priority note.The Solo part will only play a new note based upon the Solo priority setting. For example, when theSolo priority is set to Top Note and you release the highest note the Solo part will only play a notewhen you press a key that is higher than the currently held notes.
