Program mode: HD-1

Program P1: Basic/Vector
1–1: Program Basic
This page contains all of the basic settings for the
Program. Among other things, you can:
• Set up the Program to be a Single, a Double, or a
Drum Kit
• Set the Program to play polyphonically or
monophonically
• Create a keyboard split between OSC 1 and OSC 2
• Select the Program’s scale
• Make basic Wave Sequence Settings
1–1a: Program Name and Tempo
Bank [INT–A…INT–G, USER–A…USER–G]
Program Name [000…127/001…128: Name]
These two read-only parameters show the bank,
number, and name of the current Program.
Tempo ( ) [040.00…240.00, EXT]
This is the tempo used for Wave Sequences, LFOs,
effects, and KARMA. For more information, please see
“Tempo” on page 5.
1–1b: Oscillator Mode
Oscillator Mode [Single, Double, Drums]
HD-1 Single Programs have one oscillator, and Double
Programs have two oscillators. Each oscillator includes
a complete synthesis voice, with velocity-switched
multisamples, dual filters, EGs, LFOs, and so on.
Drums mode is a special variation of Single mode, and
uses a Drum Kit (as created in Global mode) instead of
multisamples.
Single: The Program will use one oscillator, for a
maximum of 172-note polyphony.
Double: The Program will use two oscillators, for a
maximum of 84-note polyphony.
Drums: The Program will use one oscillator to play a
Drum Kit. In this case the program will normally have
a maximum of 172-note polyphony.
Note: when playing drum kits, it’s often useful to turn
on the Hold parameter. For more information, see
“Hold,” on page 35.
A note about polyphony
Polyphony means the number of notes that you can
play at a time. This number will vary depending on the
particular sound being played, and how that sound is
produced. Generally speaking:
• Double Programs use twice as many voices as
Single Programs.
• A wave sequence uses twice as many voices as a
multisample. A stereo wave sequence uses twice as
many voices as a mono wave sequence.
• Stereo Multisamples use twice as many voices as
Mono Multisamples.
• If the Vector EG is enabled, the number of voices
used increases slightly.
