of warm, thick sounds. The DC0 2 parametejs are only ac-
tive in DOUBLE Mode (see description of MODE Parameter,
above).
NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
Similar to DC0 1. The three octave range includes
High, Middle and Low.
Similar to DC0 1. There is a choice of square wave
sawtooth
HARMONICS (16' 8' 4' 2')
Similar to DC0 1. Each of the four squarewave har-
monics may be individually turned ON or OFF.
Similar to DC0 1. DC0 2 is controlled by DEG 2. not
by DEG 1.
INTERVAL
The pilch of DC0 2 may be transposed or "offset" so
that it sounds at a constant interval above DC0 1. The
range of this parameter is a full octave in semitone
steps (,"-ii').
2 are In Unison. When Ihe Value equals 7 , DC0
,
2 will be a perfect 5lh (7 semitones) above DC0 1.

than DC0 1. This is useful for extending the range
of the Keyboard, or for tuning the two DCOs lo be
INTERVAL
DETUNE
The Detune parameter provides fine pitch adjustment
of DC0 2 relative to DC0 1. Detunina DC0 2 Creates
a 'fatter' sound because of the slight&h differences
between the two oscillators.

(full detuning).
DETUNE
The Whiie Noise Generator &I be usad for a variety of special
effects, either by ilself or mixed with the DCOs. Unlike any
other synthesizar, the Poly-800 can "envelope" or arliculats
Noise SEPARATELY from the oscillators, which can be used *
to add small amounts of "breath noise" to simulated acouStiC
instrument sounds.
.
The LEVEL parameter sets the MAXIMUM noise level
.
Noise level is also controlled by Digital Envelope
Noise LEVEL parameter actually determines how loud
Noise will be when DEG 3 reaches its Attack peak.
