ignored.

Part uses a gated sequence Trigger mode (see below), you should leave the
Sequencer Off – the voices in this Part will play the gated sequences automatically.

Trigger:

see table Selects the source of triggers/gates for the envelope

generators for this Part. Note that the Sequencer and/or MIDI must be enabled to
match the Trigger selected.

In the Poly (different from the Evolver) some of the Trigger modes will automatically
turn the Sequencer on. This allows gated-sequence Programs to be played without
having to manually hit the S

TART

/S

button. The Trigger modes that do this are

marked in the table as AUTO.

The envelopes will be triggered by either the sequencer or MIDI
notes. When triggered by the sequencer, the gates are on for half
the step time. Simply adjust the envelope parameters (ADSR) for
the desired effect.

Sequencr The envelopes will be triggered by the sequencer only.
