3-5 Paraphonic Mode  

You can acDvate paraphonic ( 3 voice) mode at any Dme by holding a waveform 
bu]on on voice 1 for 4 seconds. The LED displays

Paraphonic mode

. 

Voices 2 and 3 and now mirror the parameters of voice 1 but can also be changed 
individually. 
TherapSid always orders notes from voice 1 to voice 3 so you can hold a 2 note 
chord with voices 1 and 2, and play a melody with voice 3 for example 
Hold a 

waveform

 bu]on on voice 1 again for 4 seconds to go back to 

Monophonic Mode

3-6 Glide  

Adds glide aka portamento to the synth’s pitch.  
More glide=longer portamentos/slides.  

3-7 Sync

When set on voice1, Synchronizes the fundamental frequency of Oscillator 1 with 
the fundamental frequency of Oscillator 3, producing “Hard Sync” effects. Varying 
the frequency of Oscillator 1 with respect to Oscillator 3 produces a wide range of 
complex harmonic structures from Voice 1 at the frequency of Oscillator 3. In 
order for sync to occur Oscillator 3 must be set to some frequency other than zero 
but preferably lower than the frequency of Oscillator 1. No other parameters of 
Voice 3 have any effect on sync. 

3-8 Ring Mod

When set, replaces the Triangle waveform output of Oscillator 1 with a “Ring 
Modulated” combinaDon of Oscillators 1 and 3. Varying the frequency of 
Oscillator 1 with respect to Oscillator 3 produces a wide range of non-harmonic 
overtone structures for creaDng bell or gong sounds and for special effects. In 
order for ring modulaDon to be audible, the Triangle waveform of Oscillator 1 must 
be selected and Oscillator 3 must be set to some frequency other than zero. No 
other parameters of Voice 3 have any effect on ring modulaDon.
