key mode and patches

2009-12-15 by Anu Kirk

The PEK allows you to set key mode per patch (not combo). This means one patch can be Mono, one patch can be Mono/Unison, one patch can be Poly, etc.

So switching between a mono/legato patch and a chord patch is trivial - just change to the new patch.

Also on the PEK, the glide is per voice - each voice "remembers" its last note and glides from there.

Finally, Moog is doing a very limited run of new Taurus pedals. I suspect if they are successful they'll keep making them.

>> differentiate between Mono and Poly in your patch settings. Will it always be Poly? If so then how do get legato mono sounds?

>> Unfortunately I don't think that you can have patch specific global settings (ie:  preset 1 may be a duophonic, preset 2 may be independent mono).  If you need to do this live you may want to go PEK which has the combo mode.
