VECTOR CONTROL. Select them and apply LEVEL and DETUNE vector

SY35 voices can have either a "2-element" or "4-element" configuration.
Each element is actually an independent sound or "waveform," and vector
control allows the 2 or 4 different waveforms in a voice to be blended and
detuned in a variety of ways — manually or automatically.
The " A , " "B," "C," and " D "
CONTROL correspond to the voice elements. A 2-element voice uses only
elements A and B, while a 4-element voice uses all four elements — A, B, C and
D.
