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

 

 Only the last-played note will sound.

 

 Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

 

Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to 
“MONO.” This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch will be 
used (ON) or not (OFF).

 

With the Legato Switch 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.

 

 OFF, ON

 

The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to 
“MONO” and the Legato Switch parameter is set to “ON.” 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. Set 
this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or when using 
modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.

 

 OFF, ON

 

Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not 
(OFF).

 

 OFF, ON

 

Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be 
applied.

 

 

Portamento will always be applied.

 

 

Portamento will be applied only when you play 
legato (i.e., when you press the next key before 
releasing the previous key).

 

Specifies the type of portamento effect.

 

The time it takes will depend on the distance 
between the two pitches.

 

The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how 
far apart in pitch the notes are.

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.”

Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from 
the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying 
portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter is “MONO,” you 
can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar 
instrument.
