Meaning
Mono On
126
0-127
Only oscillator 1 is active.
Dual On
127
0
Both oscillators (having equal phase positions) are active as soon two
notes are played at the same time. If more than two notes are played
MIDI controller #89 sets the priority.
Dual/Detune
26 or 77
On: 0-63
Off: 64-127
Both oscillators have unequal phase positions.
[Off] will switch back to the mono mode.
Dual/Octave
27 or 78
On: 0-63
Off: 64-127
Both oscillators have equal phase positions. Oscillator 2 is pitched one
octave higher than oscillator 1.
[Off] will switch back to the mono mode.
Note Priority
89
On: 0-63
Off: 64-127
In dual modes the values up to 63 leading to play the both highest
notes. The values above 63 leading to play the both lowest notes and
one octave lower. Note: controller #89 switches [Aftertouch] also.
Aftertouch
89
On: 32-127
Off: 0-32
With values from 32 the aftertouch information will control the digital
filter cut-off. Note: controller #89 switches [Note Priority] also.
Breath Control
2
0-127
Like for [Aftertouch] breath control controls the filter cut-off. Note that
[Breath Control] and [Aftertouch] will overwrite each other.
Sustain Hold
64
On: 64-127
Off: 0-63
Hold function. If [On] is selected note-off commands are no longer
processed. A played note holds a fixed level - which is set by controller
#21 ([Sustain] of ADSR envelope) - until new notes occurs. This depends
on the particular mono-/ dual-mode.

gering. Interesting for bassy and percussive sounds.
Portamento
65
On: 64-127
Off: 0-63
Glide. A new played note will slide from the previous to the new target
pitch.
Portamento Time
5
0-127
If [Portamento] is selected this parameter controls the speed at which
an oscillator moves to a new pitch.
All Sound Off
120
0
Silence all notes currently sounding.
All Notes Off
123
0
Turns off all voices. A note-off message will address each note to stop
hanging sounds if necessary.
