Sound Parameter

✻ Sync can also be very interesting on arpeggio
sounds. Apply a slow clocked LFO to Oscillator 2
pitch and the arpeggio starts to move.
Oscillator Common
The following parameters refer to the complete oscillator
section.
Allocation Poly / Mono
Controls if the Sound can be played polyphonically or
monophonically.
•
Poly means that each note triggers its own voice or
voices, as on a piano.
• Mono means that only the last played note sounds.
All other notes are stored in an internal list but
aren’t played. As soon as you release the note that
is currently played, the second last note is played
and so on. When you play legato, only the first
note that was played triggers the envelopes. All
later notes use these envelopes, but sound in the
pitch you’ve played. This mode is for sustained
sounds like typical 70’s solo sounds.
w
When Mono is selected and you have set up a
decaying volume envelope for the selected Sound,
you might not hear anything after playing several
notes because of the envelopes decaying to 0.
Unisono off / Dual / 3...6
Controls how many voices are triggered when a note is
played.
• off means that a note triggers one voice. This is the
standard mode.
• dual means that a note triggers two voices. Both
voices have high priority so they can cut off other
voices that are played.
• 3…6 means that this number of voices is triggered
when a note is played. Only the first voice has
high priority, meaning that it can cut off other
played notes. The other voices can only sound if
any voices are free or if there are other unison
voices with lower priority that could be cut off.
This ensures that older notes play at least one
voice as long as the voice allocation isn’t forced to
steal even this voice for a new note.
