Edit page structure
All edit pages share some basic elements.
Operating mode
This indicates that the instrument is in Sound mode.
Edit section
This identifies the current edit section, corresponding to one of
the items of the edit menu (see “Edit menu” on page 51).
Page menu icon
Touch this icon to open the page menu (see “Page menu” on
page 75).
Selected oscillator
Use these buttons to select the oscillator to edit.
Parameters area
Each page contains various parameters. Use the tabs to select
one of the available pages. For detailed information on the vari-
ous types of parameters, see sections starting from page 52.
Tabs

Basic: Sound Basic
Here you can make basic settings for the Sound, such as basic
oscillator settings, the oscillator count, and the polyphonic
mode.
Oscillator Count
Oscillators Count
Use this box to specify the number of oscillators (up to 24) the
Sound is based on.
The total amount of polyphony varies depending on the number
of oscillators used by the Sound (a maximum of 120 with only 1
oscillator per voice).
Note: When editing the Grand Piano sound, keep in mind Oscilla-
tors 10~15 can only be heard when the Damper pedal is depressed.
Low priority
Use this parameter to decide if the highest-numbered oscillators
must be turned off when more polyphony voices are needed.
Keep in mind that, with a dense polyphony, missing oscillators
might not even be heard.
0 No oscillator will be turned off in any case.
1 The highest-numbered oscillator will be turned
off, if needed.
2 The two highest-numbered oscillators can be
turned off, one after the other, if needed.
[n]…24 The n-numbered oscillators (up to 24) can be
turned off, one after the other, if needed.
Transpose Range
Top/Bottom Key
Use these parameters to set a range for transposition. Inside this
range notes are transposed. Outside this range, they are not
transposed. This is useful to avoid RX Sounds being transposed
when transposing a Sound.
Note: Set these (general) values so that all RX Noises assigned to
any Oscillator fall out of the Transpose Range. For example, if you
assigned an RX Noise to a G7 on OSC1, and an RX Noise to an A7
on OSC2, set the “Top Key” value no higher than F#7 (just below
the lowest RX Noise).
Voice Assign Mode
Poly/Mono
This is the polyphonic mode of the Sound.
Poly The Sound will play polyphonically, allowing you
to play chords.
Mono The Sound will play monophonically, producing
only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
This parameter is available when the selected mode is Poly.
On When the same note is played repeatedly, the pre-
vious note will be silenced before the next note is
sounded, so that the notes do not overlap.
Off When the same note is played repeatedly, the pre-
vious note will not be silenced before the next
note is sounded.
