• Unison Detune
Range: 1 ... 32
switch is on, multiple sounds are played, with the pitch of each sound
slightly detuned. Unison Detune adjusts the detuning of the VCO pitch in fine incre-
ments, letting you create an even thicker Unison sound by applying higher settings; how-
ever, be careful not to apply too much or you'll change the basic pitch of the pattern.
• You can also adjust the value of this parameter with the left and right mouse buttons. Click
on the parameter box, then click the left button to decrease the value, or the right button to
increase it.
• Portamento Mode
Settings:
When Key Mode is set to "POLY":
Normal:
Normal portamento play.
Sustain Key:
With this setting, the Hold tone (by a sustain pedal) is specified as
the starting pitch of the portamento.
When Key Mode is set to "MONO" or "LEGATO":
Full Time:
Portamento is always enabled.
Fingered:
Portamento is only enabled by legato performance.
This determines the characteristics of the portamento (sometimes called glissando), or
how the tone glides from one tone to the next through all the intermediate pitches, when
the
is set to a value other than "0". Available parameters depend on the
parameter is set to "0", Portamento will have no effect.
Distortion Parameters
The Distortion effect lets you create a wide variety of distortion sounds, from subtle,
warm overdrive-type sounds to very heavy, metallic distortion.
• Keep in mind that many of these parameters (as well as the ones on the main control panel)
are interrelated, and you may not hear any distortion effect unless they are set to appropriate
values. This is especially true of
, and
• Guitar Amp. Type
Settings: Off, Stack, Combo, Tube
This determines the type of guitar amplifier simulated by the Distortion effect. Each pro-
duces a slightly different distortion sound, recreating the characteristics of an actual
amplifier. "Stack" simulates a separate amp and speaker setup, "Combo" simulates a
single cabinet transistor amp and speaker, and "Tube" simulates a single cabinet tube
amp and speaker. When this is set to "Off," some of the guitar amplifier simulation effect
is cancelled (however,
and LPF are still applied to the sound).
