Polyphony The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16note polyphony.

Additional Channel Mode Parameters The following describes each of the additional channel mode parameters. Program Change Number This parameter controls the tone assigned to the channel. Volume This is the parameter that controls the volume of the selected channel. Pan This parameter controls the pan pot, which is the center point of the left and right stereo channels. Setting 064 specifies center, a value less than 064 moves the point left and a value greater than 064 moves it right.
Synthesizer Mode The Synthesizer of this keyboard provides all the tools you need for creating your own original tones. Simply select one of the built-in tones and change its parameters to create your own original sound. You can even store your sounds in memory for later recall using the same procedure as that used to select a preset tone. Volume Synthesizer Functions The following describes how to use each of the functions available with the Synthesizer.
■ Release Rate This parameter controls the speed of a tone’s release (the period from the point when you release a key to the point that the tone stops sounding). Use this parameter to make fine adjustments to the tone characteristics of the amp envelope you are using. Volume 1DCO and 2DCO Tones “DCO” stands “Digitally Controlled Oscillator,” and it represents the smallest unit of sound output by this keyboard. Some of the built-in tones are simple tones (1DCO), and some are layered tones (2DCO).

■ Release Rate (001 to 127) This parameter controls the speed of a tone’s release. The greater the value, the faster the release of the selected amp envelope. ■ Filter Level (000 to 127) This parameter controls the extent to which the digital filter is applied. The greater the value, the more open the filter and the clearer the sound produced. A smaller value softens the sound. Re l R= 0 1 2 F l ev=127 ■ Pitch Envelope Set (00 to 45) This parameter controls the pitch of a tone over time.

Playing Back an SMF To play back all files on a diskette SMF (standard MIDI file) is a data format that makes it possible to port MIDI data between sequencers and synthesizers of different type and brand. There are actually three different SMF formats, named 0, 1, and 2. This keyboard supports SMF Format 0, which is the most common. Most synthesizers, sequencers, and commercially available pre-recorded software and MIDI files use SMF Format 0.
