meter. In the “Percussive” position the Oscillators are reset on note on. This makes it possible to create “Punchy” basses & Drum
sounds. In the “Ensemble” position all the Oscillators are free running & this allows the creation of fat string sounds etc. The range
is Percussive & Ensemble. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
If this parameter is set to Ensemble then the Osc start phase parameter on page 5 of this menu will not have any effect as this
makes all oscillators freewheel, in which case no phase control is operational.
Page 3 looks like so:
The lower parameter is “Glide type”. In this case with a value of Normal Glide.
This parameter determines how the Portamento is controlled. Turning the lower Data knob fully anticlockwise sets this parameter to
the “Normal” position. In this mode the Portamento behaves normally. Turning this knob clockwise selects the “AutoGlide” option”.
In this mode the Portamento will be switched off when notes are played with a gap in-between them however when Legato ( over-
lapping ) notes are received the Portamento effect is switched on. This is particularly useful as it makes TB303* type glides in a
sequencer very easy to program by simply overlapping the notes where you want the glide to occur. From this position turning the
knob clockwise brings up the Preglide options. When these options are selected a “Preglide” is applied to the pitch of the oscilla-
tors starting a a pitch determined by the PreGlide selected & gliding up or down to the normal pitch. The time it takes to do this is
determined by the Portamento time. The Preglide is triggered with every note received. Below is a description of the different types
of PreGlide available.
2 semitones down A Glide from 2 semitones down is applied to the Oscillators.
2 semitones up A Glide from 2 semitones up is applied to the Oscillators.
5 semitones down A Glide from 5 semitones down is applied to the Oscillators.
5 semitones up A Glide from 5 semitones up is applied to the Oscillators.
7 semitones down A Glide from 7 semitones down is applied to the Oscillators.
7 semitones up A Glide from 7 semitones up is applied to the Oscillators.
12 semitones down A Glide from 12 semitones down is applied to the Oscillators.
12 semitones up A Glide from 12 semitones up is applied to the Oscillators.
The range of this parameter is Normal Glide, Auto Glide, 2 semitones down, 2 semitones up, 5 semitones down, 5 semitones up, 7
semitones down, 7 semitones up, 12 semitones down & 12 semitones up. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
You cannot have different settings of this parameter in different Envelopes.
Page 4 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Unison mode”. In this case with a value of 2 voice.
This parameter determines the maximum number of voices can be used on one note when the Unison mode is active. Use the
higher 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 3 notes will consume 24 voices.
