Key Assign Modes
Key Assign (sometimes called note priority) determines what note has
priority when more than one note is played on the keyboard or via MIDI:
• Low-Note Priority (LO) is most common in vintage synths and is often
used for playing trills by holding a note and repeatedly tapping a lower
note.
• Low Retrigger (LOr) causes the envelopes to be retriggered with each
keystroke.
• High Note (Hi) and High Retrigger (Hir) are similar to the low note
settings, except that the highest note is given priority.
• Last Note (LAS) and Last Retrigger (LAr) give priority to the last note
played.
To choose the Key Assign mode:
1. Press and hold key mode. The numeric display shows the currently
selected mode.
2. To select a different mode, continue to hold down the key mode switch
then press the bank/decrement and tens/increment switches to step
through the other choices.
3. Release the key mode switch when you’re nished.
Key Assign settings are only relevant to Unison mode. They do not affect poly-
phonic playback.
