signal level drops below a second fixed threshold.
ExtIn, ResetsSeq Same as external in, but also resets the sequencer to
step 1 if it is running.
ExtIn, Gates Seq External In signal will gate the sequencer. AUTO
ExtIn GateSeqRst External In signal will gate the sequencer, and also
resets the sequencer to step 1 on each new gate.

Key GatesSeqOnce Plays a sequence once (according to the length of
Sequence 1) when a key is hit. The sequence is not
restarted on multiple keys until it finishes and stops.
AUTO
Key GateSeqOnceR Also plays a sequence once when a key is hit, but will
re-start the sequence on each key hit. AUTO
Ext In Steps Seq Plays one step of the sequencer on each External
Input audio trigger. AUTO
Key Steps Seq Plays one step of the sequencer on each key hit.

Key Mode: Poly, Mono, Unison 1, Unison 2; see table – Selects the key mode
when playing on the keyboard. There are 4 groups of key modes: Poly, Mono, Unison
1, and Unison 2. Each mode has 6 basic key modes as seen in the table. Poly is for
normal polyphonic playing; in Program mode and Poly, the six key modes will have no
effect, though they will in Combo when set to Mono.
Mono will only play one voice in Program mode. Unison will play all four voices
together for a very thick sound. Unison 2 has more detuning between the voices than
Unison 1.
Note: For quick key mode changing while playing in Program mode, the four
Combo Part switches will select between Poly, Mono, Unison 1, and Unison 2
modes when switches 1-4 are hit respectively.

Key Off/Xpose: Off, -36…+36 – Enables and transposes the keyboard. If set to Off,
the keyboard note values are ignored. Otherwise, it transposes the keyboard from –36
to +36 semitones (+/- 3 octaves). It is usually set to –24 or –36 to be in the best range
for both the keyboard and the sequencer.
Note: When set to Off, the Poly will not respond to the keyboard.
Another Note: This parameter is useful to help balance oscillator pitch ranges
between the keyboard and the sequencer. For example, if you make a Program
using the sequencer, you will likely set the Oscillator frequencies up to the desired
35
