Plug-in Window Parameters
Legato/Mono/Poly Buttons
These switches determine the number of voices used by the EXS24:
• When Poly is selected, the maximum number of voices is set via the numeric field
alongside the Poly button. To change the value, click and hold with your mouse, and
drag up or down to increase/decrease polyphony.
• When Mono or Legato is selected, the EXS24 is monophonic, and uses only one voice.
• In Legato mode, Glide is only active on tied notes. Envelopes are not retriggered
when tied notes are played (single trigger).
In Mono mode, Glide is always active and the envelopes are retriggered by every note
played (multi trigger).
