How this triggering is done isset by the following parameters. You can find these parameters in the Sound Edit menu located in theMaster section.Sound Edit MenuMode | UnisonoPoly | DualMode Poly / MonoControls if the Sound can be played polyphonically or monophonically.• Poly means that each note triggers its own voice or voices, as on a piano.• Mono means that only the last played note sounds. All other notes are stored in an internallist but aren’t played. As soon as you release the note that is currently played, the secondlast note is played and so on. When you play legato, only the first note that was playedtriggers the envelopes. All later notes use these envelopes, but sound in the pitch you’veplayed. This mode is for sustained sounds like typical 70’s solo sounds. When Mono is selected and you have set up a decaying volume envelope for the selectedSound, you might not hear anything after playing several notes because of the envelopesdecaying to 0.Unisono Off / Dual / 3…6Controls how many voices are triggered when a note is played.• Off means that a note triggers one voice. This is the standard mode.• Dual means that a note triggers two voices. Both voices have high priority so they can cutoff other voices that are played.• 3…6 means that this number of voices is triggered when a note is played. Only the firstvoice has high priority, meaning that it can cut off other played notes. The other voices canonly sound if any voices are free or if there are other unison voices with lower priority thatcould be cut off. This ensures that older notes play at least one voice as long as the voiceallocation isn’t forced to steal even this voice for a new note.
