• UNISON (Unison Switch)
Settings: ON, OFF
This determines whether the Unison mode is on or off. Setting this to on is an instant
way to get a "fat" analog-like lead sound. When Unison is on, the selected pattern is lay-
ered with slightly detuned copies of itself, and set to play monophonically (one note at a
time). The amount of detuning can be set with the
parameter (in the
DETAIL page).
• This setting overrides the
setting. Even if it is set to "POLY," the voice will only
play monophonically (with up to four voices sounding together) when Unison Switch is set to
on.
Portamento
Portamento is a pitch change effect commonly employed by singers and instrumentalists
to smoothly "glide" from one pitch to another. Portamento has been a common feature in
synthesizers as well, and can be used subtly for a natural pitch glide, or can be used to
produce wild special effects.
• TIME (Portamento Time)
Range: 0 ... 127
This determines the time of the Portamento effect, or how long it takes to glide the pitch
from one note to the next. Higher values result in a longer pitch glide time.
