Setting the Voice Overlap

When the same note is generated repeatedly, this can be used to set whether the previous sound
is canceled or overlapped.

Select the

Voice Overlap:

field with the CURSOR keys and select one of the following

three modes with the DATA wheel.

POLY

Multiple plays of the sound are assigned to additional voices, allowing
polyphonic overlap. This is useful for sounds like ride cymbals, for which
you don’t want new notes to cut off by old ones.

MONO

Multiple plays of the sound use the same voice, terminating the previous
sound and restarting playback of the sound (no polyphonic overlap). This
is useful for producing stuttering effects.

NOTE OFF

When the pad is released (or a MIDI Note Off message is received), the
sound is terminated. When the

Dcymd:

field is set to END, the loop on

sound is set to this mode.

While

Voice Overlap:

is selected, press OPEN WINDOW.

While either note set in the

Note:

field in the lower half of the display is generated, the note is

muted when a note displayed in the upper half of the display is generated. This is convenient
when you want to stop the sound of an open hi-hat with a closed hi-hat.

To turn this function off, select the

rotating the DATA wheel to the left.
