Voice Parameters - Alesis MICRON Reference Manual

5. Voice parameters

Polyphony
monophonic
One note at a time.
polyphonic
Up to eight notes at a time.
Unison
one voice/note
the Micron's voices are distributed evenly amongst up to eight
simultaneously held keys.
two voices/note
Each key triggers two voices, thereby halving the available
polyphony down to four.
four voices/note
Each key triggers four voices and the Micron's polyphony is
reduced to two simultaneous voices.
all voices/note
Reduces the Micron to monophonic operation, with all available
voices dedicated to a single note.
UsnDetune
Select the pitch range by which unison voices will be detuned.
Higher values lead to a thicker but more out-of-tune sound.
Note: when the polyphony parameter is set to mono and the
unison parameter is set to one voice/note, the UsnDetune
parameter has no effect.
