The parameter Rand Trans produces accidental detuning of the voices with every note in the
sequence. Subtly put to work, with a low value for Num Voices, Rand Trans can produce the
effect of a sloppy or imprecise intonation (in order, for example, to imitate a string instru-
ment without tension or to give atonal percussion sounds some natural variation). You can
get some unpredictable and exciting results by playing around with different selections ! In
the operating modes Sync Granular, Sample, Granular and Audio In, the Unisono function is
not available and the Uni tab and panel are inactive.
