Voice Mode
Poly Voice Mode In Poly Voice mode, each note played on the keyboard or using MIDI triggers a voice, up to the
limit of 12-voice polyphony. Voices continue to sound until their Amplitude Envelope releases to silence, or
until they are stolen by new voice triggers according to voice allocation. If Unison Mode is enabled, the addi-
tional voices play in parallel to the original voices and follow the same envelope and pitch behavior, up to the
limit of 12-voice polyphony.
Mono Voice Mode The primary behavior in Mono (or “Legato”) Voice Mode is that only one note plays at a time
in the Single Program, no matter how many other note triggers are received. If notes are played in legato fash-
ion (next note is triggered before the first one is released), the envelopes do not re-trigger, but continue as if
the original note was still being held. The pitch of the oscillators follows the keyboard or MIDI note value
from the last received trigger. If Unison Mode is enabled, the additional voices play in parallel to the original
voice and follow the same envelope and pitch behavior.
Unison Turns the Unison option on and off. Unison is an additional mode that lets you stack a number of
voices on one note. The Unison option can be enabled (or disabled) in either Poly or Mono Voice Modes.
UniVoices Selects the maximum number of voices to be layered on each note. When more than one note is
played in Poly Voice Mode, the voices are divided equally between the held notes as shown in Table 6.
