ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 51
Uni Panel
The Uni panel (Unisono) allows you to implement multi-voicing at the oscillator level.
Available for the synthesis modes Single, Double, FM, Ringmod and Fractalize, the Uni panel
provides you with following parameters:
• NumVoices: Sets the number of voices produced by each note played. The highest value is 8.
•
Trans: Controls the amount of detuning (in semitones) between the original voice and the
additional voices. This parameter affects the sound only if the Num Voices value is
larger than 1 – in other words, if there are some additional voices to detune.
• RandTrans: Adds a quota of random detuning (upwards and downwards) in half-tones.
The function Unisono allows you to “stack” voices quickly and produce fuller, stronger sounds.
If you raise the Num Voices value by 1, a new voice will be added and mixed with the output
signal of the Oscillator.
The Trans value determines what interval you desire between the original sound and the tone
pitch of the additional voices. Even-numbered additional voices are transposed downwards,
odd-numbered voices upwards.
%
If, for example, you were to set the value for Num Voices at 3 and the value for Trans at
1, every note would be accompanied by a voice that has been transposed one semitone
deeper and by another one transposed one semitone higher. If you raise the number of voices to 4,
a new (even-numbered) voice will be attached which is a half-tone under the last even-numbered
voice (that is, two half-tones under the basic tone). If you were to set the value for num voices at
5, a new (odd-numbered) voice would be attached, which would be one half-tone lower than the
last odd-numbered voice.
