Range

off [off] and 0.2mS to 5 (mS) approximately – so 5 in display = 1 millisecond

- If set to off (normal trigger mode), the gate just stays on when a new note is played. (no re-trigger)

If set to a number, a valid new note will briefly turn off the gate to retrigger the envelope generators of
your mono-synth. (multiple trigger). The numbers relate to the off time in 200 microsecond increments
approximately.


P 03

Note priority (default: new)

The following can be selected:
Low note priority

[lo]

High note priority

[hi]

New note priority

[nn]


- Sets the note priority for the converter.
If set to "lo" then the lowest valid note played takes precedence.
If set to "hi" then the highest valid note played takes precedence.
If set to "nn" then the newest valid note played takes precedence.
The USB SOLO has a 5 note buffer memory so that trill effects can be achieved.


P 04

Pitchbend range (default: 2)

Range

0 to 12 semitones.

- The pitch bend range can be changed in semitone steps from zero to 12 semitones


P 05

the USB SOLO allows you to use another controller, direct control or Auto Portamento if you wish.

Range

1 to 127

- Sets the portamento (glide or slide) time. This can also be adjusted in real time over MIDI using
