Mode Buttons

Venom is multi-timbral and can play up to four Multi Parts (referencing Single Programs) at the same time.

However, the 12 available voices are dynamically allocated from one Multi Part to another. Because the last

note requested or played has the highest priority, new voices needed for other Multi Parts will be “stolen”

from the oldest notes played in the original Multi Part.

Venom is monotimbral and only plays one Single Program at a time.

Mode and the Pattern button lights. The pattern bank and number is displayed on the LCD screen.

lights and the value for the edited parameter is displayed. When pressing the Tap Tempo button and using the

Value knob to enter a tempo, only the word “Value” and the number for the current tempo are lit.

Editing and saving any Single Program affects all Multi Programs that have Multi Parts that reference the same Single Program

Bank and Program Number.

Editing and saving any Multi Program does not save changes to any referenced Single Program (Multi Part). Enter Single Mode

to save changes to any Single Programs referenced by Multi Parts.
