DC0
2 can be combined with
DC0
1 to producb a wide variety
of warm, thick sounds. The
DC0
2 parametejs are only ac-
tive in DOUBLE Mode (see description of MODE Parameter,
above).
3ARAMETER
NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
a
OCTAVE
Similar to DC0 1. The three octave range includes
High, Middle and Low.
a
WAVEFORM
Similar to DC0 1. There is a choice
of
square wave
(
n).
or
sawtooth
(
h,.
pJ_m
HARMONICS (16’ 8’ 4’ 2’)
Similar to
DC0
1. Each of the four squarewave har-
monics may be individually turned ON or OFF.
#27
LEVEL
Similar
to
DC0 1.
DC0
2 is controlled by DEG 2. not
by DEG 1.
IzJ
INTERVAL
The pilch of DC0 2 may be transposed
or
“offset”
so
that it sounds at a constant interval above DC0 1. The
range of this parameter is a
full
octave in semitone
steps
(,“-ii’).
*When
Interval Value equals ,y ,
DC0
1 and DC0
2
are
In Unison. When Ihe Value equals
7
, DC0
,
2 will be a perfect 5lh
(7
semitones) above DC0 1.
l With a Value of :
z
,
DC0
2 will be an
octave
higher
than
DC0
1. This is useful for extending the range
of the Keyboard, or for tuning the
two
DCOs

DETUNE
J
The
Detune
parameter provides fine pitch adjustment
of
DC0
2 relative to DC0 1. Detunina DC0 2 Creates
a ‘fatter’ sound because of the
slight&h
differences
between the two oscillators.
l Deluns Values can range from
c
(no
detuning)
to
3
(full detuning).
DETUNE
VALUE
The Whiie Noise Generator
&I
be usad for a variety
of
special
effects,
either
by
ilself
or mixed with the
DCOs.
Unlike any
other synthesizar, the Poly-800 can “envelope” or
arliculats
Noise SEPARATELY from the oscillators, which can be used
*
to add small amounts of “breath noise” to simulated
acouStiC
instrument sounds.
.
The LEVEL parameter sets the MAXIMUM noise level
over
a range of
C
(off) lo
:s
(full).
.
Noise level is also controlled by Digital Envelope
Generalor
3
(DEG
3),
which also controls the
VCF.
The
Noise LEVEL parameter actually determines how loud
Noise will be when DEG 3 reaches its Attack peak.
