Unison
When
unison
is on, the Prophet-6 functions like a monophonic
synthesizer in that only 1 note can be played at a time. However, that
one note can be powered by as many as six voices, depending on how
many you choose to use. With up to 12 oscillators powering a single
note (2 oscillators per voice x 6 voices), you can create some very dense,
speaker-rattling sounds.
If you want to create an ultra heavy synth bass, try using Unison!
Unison gives you control over not only how many voices to stack, but
also the amount of detuning between the oscillators, and what note gets
priority if you happen to play more than one note on the keyboard. (This
is called the key assign mode or
note priority
. See “Key Assign Modes”
on page 45 for details.)
