hi all
i want to assign poly mode to SW- Swiches is it possible because my program is in mono mode.OK more clearly :-
i want to use both(poly,mono) mode simulteneously in same program by pressing assignable switches is it possible?

Hi

I'm almost sure that is not possible. I can't find any way to modify the mono/poly function besides the BASIC OSC page, also I can't find a way to asign that function to CC#80/81 or any other CC

I can imagine 3 solutions to that problem

1.- if u use only that single program in the song or by a long time and you don't need to do fast program changes, just put the BASIC OSC page and put the cursor on the mono/poly option and press +/- to change it (the most primitive solution). if u need to look the Performance view, just press EXIT button and to return to BASIC OCS just press MENU->F8, if you r "soloing" its almost sure that u will have a free hand xD

2.- if u alternate between a lot of programs and combis in a song, use my dearly beloved SEQ, lol, the only problem is that u've to write the same program in 2 locations, 1 mono, 1 poly.

3.- if u use only programs in the performance, use the COMBI in the solo-timbre mode, but again u've to write the program twice.

this maybe look like a disavantage of the keyboard, and maybe it is. but the good side is that u've both switches free to asign them to other functions like portamento switch and fx control or joy lock.

Regards
Alvaro.

One possibility would be to make two copies of your program (one mono, and one poly), and in both, use SW1 as an AMS source to change the volume. One of the two should have the AMS inverted, so that pressing the button silences the sound, while in the other program, the sound is silent until you press SW1.

This is annoying and you'd have to do it manually for every program you wanted to make, plus since both programs will be producing sound (although one will be doing so at zero volume), it'll use extra polyphony, but if you need a mono/poly switch, it'll work.

For sure, this is the best option for that problem..
