VCO BANK
The
Voltage
Controlled
Oscillator
(VCO)
is
the
primary
source of
sound
for
a
synthesiser,
and
determines the pitch
and bas*c tonal quality, or timbre,
of
all
sounds produced.
The Korg Mono/Poty
is
comprised
of four separate
VCOs.

Having
separate
controls per
VCO
olfer* the following
advantages:
•
In
the
Monophomt
lUntson)
mode,
allows mixing
of different
waveforms
and/or octaves
in
the
same
note,
for
richer,
fuller sounds,
•
In
ihe Poly,
Unison/Share and Chord
Memory
modes, the
use*
may
struc-
ture
highly
complex polyphonic
chords with
different
octave and/or
timbre
selection for each
note. or.
he
may
create four
note homogeneous
sounds
(all
notes
with the
same
tim*
tart).
• VCOs
can be
arpeggiated or
even
played
sequentially
(<**,
a different
VCO
sound
for
each
new
Key
depres-
sion), by using
the MP-4's
Arpepolator.
This can
produce
interesting
mythrnic/
random-type
effects especially
when
different
octave,
waveform and
/or
level
setting*
per
VCO
are used.

Tuning
Controls
Overall tuning
among
the four
VCOs
Is
determined
by the different Tuning con
trols,
as follows
Trampott: Transposes the pitches of
all
four
VCOs
up or down
one
octave
(The
rear
panel
CV OUT
jack
is
also
affected by this switch).
