Unison Mode
Unison mode selection.
Values:
 OFF: Unison mode disabled.
 Unison2 Det 1, Unison2 Det 2, Unison4 Det 1, Unison4 Det 2, Unison8
 Unison2 LR, Unison4 LR, Unison8 LR: as for the previous mode, but with
Port Time Portamento Time (Glissato). With the Portamento function, which can only be
[ASSIGN 2] used with the Mono and Legato voice modes, it is possible to make smooth
pitch changes between one note and the next with adjustable time. Portamento
time sets the time to reach the frequency of the next note.
Values: between 0 and 127
Ring Level Ring Modulation Level. Ring Modulation is a type of
[ASSIGN 3] modulation that multiplies two signals, in the case of the
Synth-8 the one coming from the first oscillator with the
one generated by the second. The resulting sound is
characterized by many harmonic and inharmonic
partials, not present in the harmonic spectrum of the
original signals, making the sound metallic, dissonant
and almost out of tune.
Values: OFF, between 0 and 127
Noise Level
Level of the noise source.
Values: between 0 and 127
[ASSIGN 4]
Noise Decay Noise decay time, i.e. the time required for the noise level to reach zero, after
pressing the key.
Values: between 0 and 127
Noise Type
Noise type.
Values:
 White Noise: is a broadband non-periodic signal that contains all frequencies
 Pink Noise: It is a particular type of noise that decreases in intensity with
P.Bend Range Pitch Bend wheel range. Determines the maximum extension, in semitones, of
the Pitch Bend wheel for both directions.
Values: between 1 and 12.

ARP section

The Arpeggiator section allows you to perform arpeggios
by composing a chord on the keyboard or by pressing a
single note and arpeggiating the same by octave. It is
possible to adjust the direction of the arpeggio, the
playback speed, the extension by octaves and other
parameters.
The Arpeggiator section of the Synth-8 can also operate in
Synth-8 – User Manual
Det 1, Unison8 Det 2: Unison mode with which, for each note, 2 (Unison2), 4
(Unison4) or 8 (Unison8) voices are generated that are the same but slightly
detuned, where Det2 has a detuning level higher than Det1. It should be
noted that the Unison mode affects the polyphony available to the instrument,
so, for example, with Unison2 the maximum polyphony is reduced to 4 notes.
the difference that each detuned voice is distributed on the single Left or
Right audio output. It is suggested to use both [L/MONO] and [R] outputs, or
to use the headphones out when using this mode.
of the audible spectrum, With this a "hiss" can be added to the signal, which
is useful to simulate the sound of instruments producing noise such as winds
and whistles.
