4.8.2. Play Control
• Legato - Legato allows for playing notes with or without retriggering the
envelopes on every key on. The following settings apply to each note sounding
in the current voice mode. In Monophonic they apply to the single sound, and in
Paraphonic and Duo-Split they apply to the one being played. See the Voice Mode
section [p.22].
• On - This will only retrigger the envelope after all notes have been released.
Holding a note while playing the next one, before releasing the first, creates a
slur effect. This works for successive notes as well, and its effect is dependent on
the envelope settings (because a sound's overall length is relative to the first note
you play). If you play staccato, the envelope will trigger on each note played as
normal.
• Off - Every note played will trigger the envelopes.
• Glide - This mode is similar to Legato mode in the playing a notes while a note
is held, will not trigger then envelopes. If the GLIDE is active, then playing legato
will both prevent the envelope from triggering as well as gliding from one pitch
to the next.
Note Priority – Determines what happens when you play more voices than are available
(one in Monophonic voice mode and two in the other voice modes).
• Low - The lowest note you're holding keeps sustaining and other notes are cut
off;
• High - The highest note you're holding keeps sustaining and other notes are cut
off;
• Last - Held notes are cut off by the new ones you play.
Key Hold – Simulates the effect of holding a note forever. It plays the last note you triggered,
no matter how much time has passed, and holds it. It does not affect the envelopes so
sounds with no sustain will not actually sound beyond the decay time. This is also used to
hold an arpeggiation on.
