Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Raffaele,
   It appears (at least to me) that the trigger select -> keyboard only feature has no 
purpose under program mode, except to steal a voice and render it useless. However, I 
have found that it works perfectly (or at least, as you expect it to) under Combo mode. 
Program your sequence and save it as a patch, then go to combo mode and make part 1 
polyphonic 4-voice, and use the program you'd saved. Make sure to select the 'trigger 
select -> keyboard only' in the combo menu, and there you go. Still trying to figure lots of 
stuff out here, but that one should provide a temporary solution until DS makes it an 
update.
Enjoy,
-Mark
