5.7.2. Unison
Unison mode, a feature of many classic analog synths, “stacks” the voices into a potentially
huge monophonic sound.
• Unison: Engages and disengages Unison mode.
• Detune: Introduces and adjusts a tuning spread between the Unison voices.
When Unison is active the Polyphony [p.18] menu in the lower toolbar changes, showing
unison voice options from 2-8. This is the number of voices used to create a huge sound.
♪ A little bit of Unison Detune can add a lot of fatness to the sound; more of it can create a swarming
or downright woozy character.
5.7.3. Hold
The Hold button, when active, functions as a sort of feet-free sustain pedal. Any notes
played, whether by your fingers or as patterns from the Arpeggiator [p.53] are sustained.
5.7.3.1. Hold Modes
Hold has two modes when the Arpeggiator [p.53] is on, accessed from a menu in the lower
toolbar.
