XA Control Determines the functioning of the Expanded Articulation (XA) feature of an
Element.
The XA feature is sophisticated tone generator system that allows you to
more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance
techniques. It also provides other unique modes for random and alternate
sound changes as you play.
For each Element, you can set to:
 Normal: The Element sounds normally each time you play the note.
 Legato: When the Mono/Poly parameter is set to Mono, this Element
will be played in place of the one which is set to “Normal” of the XA
Control parameter when you play the keyboard in legato fashion
(playing the next note of a single-note line or melody before releasing
the previous note).
 Key off: The Element will sound each time you release the note.
 Cycle (for multiple Elements): Each Element sounds alternately
according to its numerical order. In other words, playing the first note
will sound Element 1, the second note Element 2, and so on.
 Random (for multiple Elements): Each Element will sound randomly
each time you play the note.
 A.SW1 On (Assignable Switch 1 On): When the [ASSIGN 1] button is
turned On, the Element will sound.
 A.SW2 On (Assignable Switch 2 On): When the [ASSIGN 2] button is
turned On, the Element will sound.
 A.SW Off (Assignable Switch Off): When both the [ASSIGN 1] and
[ASSIGN 2] buttons are turned Off, the Element will sound.
To create the desired sound, assign the same Element Group to all
Elements that have the same XA features. See “Element Group Number”.
Element Group Number Determines the group for XA Control.
The Elements of a group can be called up in sequential order or in random
order. All Elements that have the same type of XA features must have the
same group number.
This setting does not apply when the XA Control parameters of all
Elements are set to “Normal”.
Element Connection
Switch
Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each
individual Element. Set this to “Thru” to bypass the Insertion Effects for the
specified element.
Key Assign Mode Enables or disables double playback of the same note.
 Single: Double or repeated playback of the same note is not possible.
The first note will be stopped, then the next note will be sounded.
 Multi: All notes are sounded simultaneously. This allows playback of
the same note when it is played multiple times in succession
(especially for tambourine and cymbal sounds that you would want to
ring out to their full decay).
In general, you can use the setting Multi. Keep in mind that the Multi
setting consumes overall polyphony and that sounds may be cut off.
