MULTI KEY ASSIGN
SSS E О К ЕЕЕ ЛАЛЫ
Multi assign is a "sub-function" - it can be accessed from inside any of the main
modes to assign a single voice to all 12 instrument keys. Normally, each of the
12 instrument keys plays a different voice, but Multi assign lets you use all 12
instrument keys to play a single voice, either with different pitches or different
accents for each key. This makes it easy to enter melodic parts, or parts with
diverse accents.
Press MULTI and use the 4 and » keys to move the cursor to
select one of the 4 jobs. You can also press a numeric key 1 to 4
while pressing JOB to jump to the desired job. To return to the
mode from which you came, press JOB + 0.
