Combo Parameters


Combos are used to make different combinations of Programs, and use them in
different ways. You can use up to four different Parts, each with its own set of 16
parameters.

The upper knob selects the parameter, and the lower knob changes the value. The
P

AGE

U

P

and P

AGE

D

OWN

buttons step through the four parts, and to the Edit name

page after the four parts.

Note: If you hold the P

AGE

D

OWN

button while you hit the P

AGE

U

P

button, it will

jump to the last page. Similarly, if you hold the P

AGE

U

P

button when you hit the

P

AGE

D

OWN

button, it will jump to the first page.


Below we describe the 16 parameters for Part 1; the other parts are identical. The
upper LCD line shows the Part number; lower lines are used for the parameter.

Mode:

see table Selects the polyphony of this Part. When a Combo is

selected, it starts assigning voices to Parts with Part 1. You cannot assign more than
4 voices. For example, if you set both Part 1 and Part 2 to Poly 3, the total would be 6
voices, so it obviously it will not work with only a four voice instrument. In this case, it
would assign the first 3 voices to Part 1, and the last voice to Part 2, ignoring the rest
of the Parts. Looking at the voice LED’s on the front panel will help to see the voice
operation.
