Unison
When unison is on, the Prophet-10 functions like a monophonic
synthesizer in that only 1 note can be played at a time. However, that one
note can be powered by as many as ten voices, depending on how many
you choose to use.
With up to 20 oscillators powering a single note (2 oscillators per voice
x 10 voices), you can create some very dense, speaker-rattling sounds.
Unison gives you control over how many voices to stack, and also the
amount of detuning between the oscillators.
UNISON
To use Unison:
1. Press and hold the unison switch.
2. With the unison switch held down, use the group select (decrement)
and bank select (increment) switches to choose the number of voices
to stack, then release the Unison switch.
To detune the oscillators in Unison:
1. Press and hold the unison switch.
2. With the unison switch held down, use the program select switches
to set the amount of detuning. A setting of 0 is minimum detuning. A
setting of 8 is maximum detuning.
