Arturia CS-80V - A Composite Sonority in Unison Mode

ARTURIA – CS-80V – USER’S MANUAL
65
The sound of single 1 will be «fattened» thanks to the detuning of the 4 voices and
«widened» thanks to the panoramic settings between all of the voices.
By performing these first settings, you have modified the «Multi1» preset. You can now
save it in your own bank.
 After this, put the fourth zone to «UniLast» unison mode
 Lightly detune voices 7 and 8 to fatten the sound.
 «Separate» the stereo position of these 2 voices to the right and to the left.
 Finally, activate the ring modulator on voice 5 to obtain a bell sound that will be
played on the third zone.
Your end result will be: a very rich sound on zone 1, a violin solo sonority on the second,
a bell on the third and a lead sound on the fourth zone.

 If you wish to use this configuration with a MIDI sequencer playing each single on a
different MIDI channel, choose a channel for each zone.
Don’t forget that the notes that are not included within the limits of each of the 4 zones will not be played!
7.2.2 A composite sonority in unison mode
Now lets see a different use of the unison mode: layering several singles on the same
note (remember you can go as far as 8 simultaneous)
Load the preset «Wizd_Multi2».
This preset contains 8 different singles but they are played successively to each note
played. They are all assigned to zone 1 which covers the whole of the keyboard.
 Begin by placing zone1 to «UniLast» unison mode. All of the singles should be played
by the same note.
Placing zone1 to «UniLast» unison mode
 Detune them with the «detune» potentiometers. The global sound will get another
layer.
 Also change the panoramic of each of the singles in order to form a very large stereo
sound.
 It is also possible to select which singles will be sent to delay and chorus effects. The
ring modulator will not be used for this sound. Deactivate the «Rmod» button on all
of the singles.
 It is also possible to change the tone range of certain singles by detuning them by an
octave or a fifth below.
