GLOBAL NOTE PRIORITY

Because the Sub Phatty is monophonic, it will play
only one note at a time. What happens when you
press two keys at the same time? By default, it plays a
note in response to the most recent key you pressed,
regardless of its position. This is called last-note priority.
You can change that behavior, however, so that it will
play either the lowest or the highest note when you
press more than one key.

Engage Shift mode and press the

BANK 2, BANK 4,

PATCH 1, and PATCH 2 buttons. Pressing the low C key
engages low-note priority, so that only the lowest note
plays when you hold down more than one key. Pressing
C# engages high-note priority, so that only the highest
note plays when you hold down more than one key.
Pressing D engages the default, last-note priority.

KNOB MODE

When you change presets, it’s unlikely that the
positions of the knobs will match the values of the
preset’s parameters. When you turn a knob to make
changes, how it responds will depend on its mode.

To enter Knob mode, engage Shift mode and press
BANK 2, BANK 4, PATCH 3, and PATCH 4. Press the
low C to engage Snap mode, in which the value jumps
to the knob’s current position as soon as you begin
turning it. Press C# to engage Pass-Through mode, in
which turning the knob has no effect until it reaches its
preset value and then takes effect. Press D to engage
Relative mode (the default), in which turning the knob
up or down slightly causes a minor change in value, and
turning it further causes a increasingly greater change
in value. This allows the value to “catch up” with the
knob’s position and prevents any sudden jumps.

BANK 3, BANK 4, and PATCH 1. Press C# twice to

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Whenever you invoke a system command, you cause some kind of irreversible change. For this reason,
each command requires that you press a key twice to confirm your choice. Once you’ve selected a
command, press the C# key twice to invoke it, or press the C key to cancel it.
