Future Retro Mondovox - Manual (Page 7)

DETUNE UP / DOWN
As you move the Pitch Bend in the positive direction on your controller, all enabled MIDI channels will be
increasingly detuned both upwards and downwards in pitch. When you release the Pitch Bend control to its
middle position, the detune amount stays the same, so you can adjust it, set it, release it, and then play parts
without constantly having to maintain your Pitch Bend location. If the current detune amount is not the max
setting, higher detune amounts can be set by moving the Pitch Bend to a value greater than was last used. To
clear out the current detuned amount, move your Pitch Bend in the negative direction.

UNISON POLY
Note-On/Off, Velocity, Pitch Bend, and Mod Wheel messages received on the input MIDI channel will be
sent out of all enabled MIDI Out channels simultaneously. If only a single note is played, all enabled voices
will play that note. As you play more notes simultaneously, the processor voice allocation will intelligently
turn off voices it needs to steal so other notes/voices can play.
DON’T PANIC!
Seriously, don’t panic! This feature is simply an All-Notes-Off MIDI feature that can be used, should notes
ever become latched-on in the MIDI sound module you are playing. Please note that not all MIDI devices
support the All-Notes-Off MIDI messages. In fact, many of our own products do not support these. In such
cases, should notes become latched in those devices, turning them off and back on will clear any latched
notes.
To send an All-Notes-Off MIDI message, select this mode, and then play a note on your MIDI controller. The
All-Notes-Off message will be sent out all MIDI outputs.
In general latched notes may occur when a MIDI sound module receives more MIDI information than its
internal buffer can handle, and the device is then unable to carry out the proper Note-Off message. You
should be especially aware of this when using the Unison Bend and Unison Poly modes, as each of these is
capable of generating a lot of MIDI data.
If you find that notes become latched repeatedly in the sound module you are controlling, try using a different
MIDI voice routing mode as described later in this manual.
POLY RANDOM
Note-On/Off, Velocity, Pitch Bend, and Mod Wheel messages received on the input MIDI channel will be
sent to random MIDI Out channels that are currently enabled. Only one note can play per each enabled MIDI
channel, and up to 16 channels can be played in all.
You can use this feature when controlling multiple monophonic synthesizers to randomly select which voice
plays at any time to add more variation and humanization to your music.
As an effect, you could also select each sound module to play a completely different sound, which will result
in these various sounds playing at random times in your music. You could further use the Define Voices
setting to set the number of random possibilities that can occur.
