ENVELOPES SECTION
You cannot have different settings of this parameter in different Envelopes.
Page 5 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Unison”. In this case with a value of Off.
This parameter activates the Unison mode. Use the upper Data knob to adjust the value of this parameter. When this parameter is
set to Off only one voice is used per note in a Program. When this parameter is set to On more than one voice is used per note in
a Program. The number of voices used per note is determined by the Unison mode parameter on the lower line of this page. The
range of this parameter is On & Off. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
The lower parameter is “Unison mode”. In this case with a value of 2 voice.
This parameter determines the number of voices used on one note when the Unison mode is active. Use the lower Data knob to
adjust the value of this parameter. Larger values tend to create fatter sounds. The range of this parameter is 2 to 8. This parameter
is memorised with a Program.
Large voice settings of the Unison mode can be quite polyphony hungry. For example a setting of 8 voice will produce a fat sound
but 2 notes will consume all 16 voices.
Page 6 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “DCO / VCO mode”. In this case with a value of VCO.
This parameter determines the behaviour of the Oscillators tunings. Use the higher Data knob to adjust this parameter. When this
parameter is set to DCO the tuning between the oscillators is perfect. This is the case on “DCO” ( Digitally Controlled
Oscillator ) synthesisers such as the Roland Juno 106* or Juno 60*. Setting this parameter to VCO recreates the classic “VCO”
( Voltage Controlled Oscillator ) characteristics of imperfect oscillator tuning. The range of this parameter is DCO & VCO. This
parameter is memorised with a Program.

The lower parameter is “Constant gate”. In this case with a value of On.
This parameter determines if the envelopes are “constantly” gated on as if C3 was being played & held down. Use the lower Data
knob to adjust this parameter. When this parameter is set to On the signals fed into the Inputs ( & that are assigned as Special
waveforms to the Oscillators ) are passed through the Nova’s synthesis engine without requiring a MIDI Note message to trigger
the envelopes. Also this feature can be used to create sustained sound effects that require no trigger note. When a Program that
has this parameter set to On is selected, the Program will sound straight away as if C3 was played. This will continue until another
program is selected. When this parameter is set to Off normal operation occurs. i.e. a note on message is required to trigger the
envelopes before any sound can be heard. The range of this parameter is On & Off. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
When the Arpeggiator is active Constant gate no longer functions.
