Korg Polysix Bedienungsanleitung Seite 17

The advent of micro-computer tech-
nology has had a profound effect on the
relationship
of the keyboard
to the
synthesizer, and allows a greater degree of
flexibility and versatility than even. be-
fore. In the past, synthesizer
keyboards
were able to produce one, or at best two,
notes at one time. Today, an integrated
circuit approximately
the size of a pack
of matches can perform a huge number of
diverse
tasks in a split second. Among
other things, the micro-computer can
""scan'' a keyboard of any size, and assian
each
key depression to one of seVeral
synthesizer
"voices" (6 for the Polysix)
This is called channel assigning, and the
micro-computer that performs that task is
called the Assigner, Since musicians don't
normally play more
than five to eight
notes at the same time, this allows con-
siderable economy because each note on
the keyboard doesn't need a synthesizer
voice permanetly assigned to it. This lets
us build
a better and
more portable
instrument ata lower price,
In addition to the nurmal Polyphonic
one voice
per key-depression
playing
mode, the Polysix Assigner can perform a
number of other useful functions, such
as: Unison mode'
(all 6 voices sounding
the same note), Hold
(infinite sustain);
Chord Memory
(for parallel harmonies);
and| Arpeggiation, Each of these will be
described below.
This mode allows you to "memorize"
an interval or chord of up to 6 notes, and
then produce parallel harmonies based on
that interval or chord with monophonic
("one-finger") playing.
It effectively
eliminates the need for manual tuning of
gscillators to, form intervals or chords, for
greater user convenience.
To enter an interval or chord into Chord
