IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MONO LEGATO ON/OFF

Because this function is playing a single sample (or group of samples when playing stereo

or layered sounds) through the sustain or loop, if you were, for example, to do a long

legato run from the top of the keyboard to the bottom, you would be transposing the

original sample you started with several octaves down. For example, in a 7 keygroup flute

program, if you were to start your run on C5 and finish at C2, the sound played on the last

note would, in fact, be the C5 sample transposed 3 octaves down - the samples in the

other keygroups would not be re-triggered as you cross the keygroup boundaries. As a

result, if you sustained that last note, it may sound very strange indeed! Similarly, if you

‘trilled’ between C2 and C5, it would also sound quite odd (but then, so would a trill

between C2 and C5!). This is brought to your attention so that you may make allowances

when playing legato across keygroups. If you bear this in mind, you will find this function

very useful and expressive.

There is a way around this using the KEYGROUP MUTE function (see below).

This field is not accessible and shows you how many other

programs are in memory at the time.

This field allows you to select whether you wish to listen to other

programs that have the same program number as you edit the

currently selected program. The selection is ON or OFF. When

is switched to ON, you will only hear the currently

selected program and when it is OFF, you will be able to monitor

any other programs that share the same number.

NOTE: This function is only really of relevance of you are using the ‘old Akai’ method to

sequence programs sharing the same program number.
