An overview of the edit pages

In order to do detailed editing, you’ll need to access the 
edit pages in the display.

The preceding section “Easy Program editing” on 
page 27 
explained how to use the Prog P0: Play page to 
do simple editing. For more detailed editing, you’ll use 
the P1 and following edit pages.

For details on how to access each mode and page, 
please see “Basic operations” on page 9.

Basic oscillator settings

Here you can specify the type of program, select the 
basic waveform (multisample or drum kit), and specify 
whether it will play polyphonically or monophonically 
(poly/mono).

Program type setting (single, double,
drum kit)

Here you can specify the program type.

Broadly speaking the program type will be either “a 
program that uses a multisample” or “a program that 
uses a drum kit” (see “Multisamples and Drum Kits” 
on page 33
).

This choice is made by the Prog P1: Basic/Controllers– 
Program Basic “Oscillator Mode” setting, which 
specifies which type the oscillators will use. Up to two 
can be used simultaneously for each type.

• Multisample: Single, Double

• Drum kit: Drums, Double Drums

Single (single program) uses one oscillator, and 
Double (double program) uses two oscillators.

Drums (drum program) is similar to a single program, 
but uses a drum kit (created in Global mode) instead of 
a multisample. Double Drums (double drum 
program) uses two drum kits. By using an ambience‐
type kit as the second drum kit, you can give a wider 
sense of space to the sound.

Polyphony

Polyphony is the number of notes that can be played 
simultaneously, such as in a chord. The polyphony 
depends on the program type.

Note:

• Double Programs and Double Drums use twice as 

many voices as Single Programs.

• Stereo Multisamples use twice as many voices as 

Mono Multisamples.

• If using velocity crossfade switching, the 

multisample will use twice as many voices as usual.
