You can switch back and forth as often as you wish.

XPOS Determines the pitch of the wave step. [. . . ] By varying the setting of this parameter, you can control how long sounds overlap when a note is restruck. For example, if you have a slow string sound, it may sound more natural to use a longer RESTRIKE value, which will cause the old note to decay more slowly, rather than end abruptly when the new note starts. The higher the value, the longer the fadeout time.
