Program Parameters
Program Parameter Descriptions
In this section of the manual, we will go through the Ion section by
section, defining each parameter and describing how each relates to the
others. As with the signal flow, we will be moving from left to right
across the front panel of the Ion. The parameters are listed by the Edit
page name, the page number, and the Soft button used to access them.
Also listed is the default value for each parameter.
Voice: the [unison] button
This button toggles Unison mode on and off. It also immediately takes
you to Voice Edit page 1 with the Unison Voices parameter selected, so
you can determine how many voices you want assigned to one key when
you enable Unison mode. For a description of the three Unison mode
types and related parameters, see Unison voices and Unison detune in the
next two paragraphs.
Voice [edit]: Unison voices
Page:
Soft Button:
Range:
D efault:
The setting of this parameter controls the response of the [unison]
button. It determines how many voices will be allocated per key when
Unison mode is on. When set to 2 voices each key will trigger 2 voices,
allowing a maximum of 4 keys to be played before running out of voices.
When set to 4 voices each key will trigger 4 voices, allowing a maximum
of 2 keys to be played before running out of voices. When set to full, all
8 of the Ion's voices will be evenly divided among the keys that are held
down.
Voice [edit]: Unison detune
Page:
Soft Button:
Range:
D efault:
This parameter detunes the Unison voices from one another. For
example, with a Unison voices setting of 2 voices and a Unison detune
setting of 15, voice 1 will be detuned +15 cents and voice 2 will be
detuned –15 cents. In the same scenario with Unison voices set to 4
voices or full, the Unison voices will be spread out between those limits.
The higher the Unison detune setting, the more spread out the voices
will be.
