Quick parameter list
The tree diagram on the left shows how the program
edit parameters (quick parameters) are structured.
These parameters are explained below.
OSC Common
Here you can make common settings for oscillators 1
and 2 to specify how they will produce sound.
VoiceMode (Voice Assign Mode) [Poly, Mono]
This specifies whether multiple notes can be played
simultaneously, or whether the program will play only
one note at a time.
Poly: The program will play polyphonically, allowing
you play chords.
Mono: The program will play monophonically. Only
one note will be heard even if you hold down multiple
keys. It’s effective to use the Mono setting when you
want to play analog synthesizer-type bass or synth
lead sounds.
MonoLegato [Off, On]
Legato means to play notes so that they are smooth
and connected; the next note is played before the last
note is released. This is the opposite of playing
detached. This is available when the “Voice Mode” is
set to Mono.
When “Mono Legato” is On, the first note in a legato
phrase will sound normally, and then subsequent
notes will have a smoother sound, for more gentle
transitions between the notes.
On: When you play with legato phrasing, the notes
within a legato phrase will sound smoother.
Off: Legato phrasing will produce the same sound.
Unison [On, Off]
This is available if “Voice Mode” is set to Mono.
On: When Unison is on, the Program uses two or more
stacked, detuned voices to create a thick sound.
Use the “NumOfVoices” and “Detune” parameters to
set the number of voices and amount of detuning, and
the “Thickness” parameter to control the character of
the detuning.
Off: The Program plays normally.
NumOfVoices (Number of Voices) [2...6]
This controls the number of detuned voices that will be
played for each note when using “Unison”. It applies
only when “Unison” is On.
Detune [00...99 cents]
This parameter sets the tuning spread for the Unison
voices, in cents (1/100 of a semitone). Detune is
available when “Unison” is On.
The “Thickness” parameter, below, controls how the
voices are distributed across the detune amount. When
“Thickness” is Off, the voices are distributed evenly,
centered around the basic pitch.
