COMPONENT
Usually, the best way to create a custom Patch is to fi nd a Patch
which already contains most of what you want and edit only the
Parameters necessary to create your custom Patch.
However, in some cases you may find it useful to clear the
contents of a Patch or Component within a Patch completely
and start with a “blank slate.” In this case you can
Initialize
either a complete Patch or one of the four Components within a
Patch. Th
is is explained starting on the next page.
COMPONENTS & POLYPHONY
Polyphony refers to the number of notes that can be played
simultaneously. The PIANO and ENSEMBLE Sections
combined have a total polyphony of 128 notes. Also, the
number of Components utilized in a Patch will affect the
number of keys that can be played at one time before the 128-
note limit is reached.
For example, Patches using a single Component can play 128
notes in response to 128 keypresses. However, some Patches
utilize more than one Component. Patch #F209 “Soundtrack,”
for example, utilizes three (3) Components, meaning that
pressing one key will cause 3 notes to play. Th
erefore, if 42 keys
are pressed simultaneously the note limit will be reached. If the
128-note limit is exceeded, previously played notes will cancel or
“drop out” so that the additional notes can be heard.
Even though some very dramatic eff ects can be created using
more than one Component to create a custom Patch, it is
recommended to be aware that using multiple Components will
result in fewer keys that can be pressed simultaneously before the
128-note limit is reached.
