If the Program is set to Double, the Max # of Notes applies
equally to both Oscillators. For instance, if Max # of Notes
is set to 4, you can play up to 4 notes on each OSC.
Chord
Chord
Off disables the Chord function.
Bsc (Basic) re-creates the chord mode of the Korg Polysix.
Each time you play a new chord, it will cut off the previous
chord. This option ignores the Voice Assign settings.
Adv (Advanced) uses the Program's Voice Assign settings,
as if each note in the chord was a transposed set of
oscillators layered within the Program.
Poly, Poly Legato, Single Trigger, Mono, Mono Legato,
Legato Offset, Mono Priority, and Mono and Poly Unison all
apply.
You can achieve the same effect as Bsc, above, by setting
Chord to Advanced, Voice Assign to Mono, Priority to
Last Note, and Legato to Off.
For more information, see "Using Chord mode" on page 40
of the Operation Guide.
Source Pad
Chord mode uses the chords assigned to the on-screen pads,
and this selects which one to use. You can also choose
chords using the on-screen pads themselves; for more
information, see "Selecting chords" on page 41 of the
Operation Guide.
Unison
Unison
Unison can be used in both Mono and Poly modes.
On (checked): When Unison is on, the Program uses two or
more stacked, detuned voices to create a thick sound.
Use the Number of Voices and Detune parameters to set the
number of voices and amount of detuning, and the
Thickness parameter to control the character of the
detuning.
Off (unchecked): The Program plays normally. If Unison is
Off, then all of its associated parameters are grayed out.
Number of voices
This controls the number of detuned voices that will be
played for each note when using Unison. It applies only
when Unison is On.
Stereo Spread
Stereo Spread lets you create a wider stereo field when
using Unison. It applies only when Unison is On.
This feature separates the different Unison voices into two
groups. One group is panned to the left, and the other to the
right. At 0, both groups will be in the center; at 100, the two
groups will be hard-panned left and right, respectively; at
intermediate values, they will be panned to intermediate left
and right positions.
If there is an odd number of voices, one voice will be panned
to the center.
Program P1: Basic/Vector 1–1: Program Basic
If the voices are true stereo, Stereo Spread "steers" the
stereo image of each voice, similar to MIDI Pan (CC#10)
and the Control Surface Pan knobs. In this case, intermediate
settings of Stereo Spread may be the most effective, since
they will still preserve some of the original stereo image.
[Off, Bsc, Adv]
Unison detuning is spread as evenly as possible across the
left and right channels. The lowest voice will be on the left,
and the highest on the right; the next-lowest on the left, and
the next-highest on the right, etc., as below:
-14 cents: L
+14 cents: R
-10 cents: L
+10 cents: R etc.
Depending on the Thickness setting, the detuning may lean
slightly to one side.
Detune
Detune is available when Unison is On.
This parameter sets the tuning spread for the Unison voices,
in cents (1/100 of a semitone). The Thickness parameter,
below, controls how the voices are distributed across the
detune amount. When Thickness is Off, the voices are
[1...8]
distributed evenly, centered around the basic pitch.
For instance, let's say that the Number of voices parameter
is set to 3, Detune is set to 24, and Thickness is Off:
Voice one will be detuned down by 12 cents, voice two will
not be detuned, and voice three will be detuned up by 12
cents.

As another example, let's say that Detune is still set to 24
and Thickness is still Off, but Number of voices is set to 4:
Voice one will still be detuned down by 12 cents, voice two
will be detuned down by 4 cents, voice three will be detuned
up by 4 cents, and voice 4 will be detuned up by 12 cents.

Thickness
Thickness is available when Unison is On.
This parameter controls the character of the detuning for the
unison voices.
Off: Unison voices will be evenly distributed across the
Detune range, as shown above.
01–09: Unison voices will be detuned in an asymmetric way,
increasing the complexity of the detune, and changing the
way in which the different pitches beat against one another.
