The GLIDE, DECAY and OCTAVE footswitches are used to turn
their respective functions ON/OFF, and also to access performance
parameters not available on the control panel.
PGM Mode:
To access PGM mode, press and hold the TRANSPOSE/PGM footswitch. The Transpose LED will blink
rapidly (approximately double the rate of the Transpose function), indicting that you are in PGM Mode. In
this mode, the GLIDE, DECAY, and OCTAVE footswitches access alternate functions as described above:
GLIDE - LFO Tap Tempo
DECAY - Arpeggiator Tap Tempo
OCTAVE - Note Latch ON/OFF
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE/PGM footswitch to exit PGM Mode. The rapidly blinking LED for PGM
Mode overrides the Transpose LED (you can be transposed and be in PGM Mode). You can also perform
a transpose function in PGM Mode; the only difference is that after setting the transposition interval, the
Transpose LED will blink rapidly to indicate that you are in PGM Mode. If you exit PGM Mode when
transposed, the Transpose LED will be lit solid.
The GLIDE footswitch enables or disables the portamento effect between notes. Glide is ON when the
footswitch LED is illuminated. The glide rate parameter is selected in the oscillator section. In PGM Mode,
the GLIDE footswitch functions as the LFO Tap Tempo control.
The DECAY footswitch controls the release portion of the Volume envelope. When DECAY is ON, the
sound decays at the rate set by the DECAY parameter when the envelope Gate switches off. When
DECAY is off, the sound dies out immediately when the envelope Gate switches off. The Decay parameter
is ON when the footswitch LED is illuminated. The volume Decay rate parameter is selected in the
oscillator section. In PGM Mode, the DECAY footswitch functions as the Arpeggiator Tap Tempo control.
The OCTAVE footswitch is used to shift the octave of the instrument up by one octave. When the
OCTAVE footswitch is ON, the instrument tuning changes by +1 octave for both oscillators. When the
OCTAVE footswitch is OFF, the instrument returns to the original tuning for both oscillators. Octave shift is
ON when the footswitch LED is illuminated. In PGM Mode, the OCTAVE footswitch functions as the Note
Latch ON/OFF control.
NOTE: Tap Tempo values can be stored in a Preset.
