35 Prophet 12 Operation Manual Unison
Unison
When U
nison
is on, the Prophet 12 plays like a monophonic synthesizer.
That is, only one note can be played at a time. Turn U
nison
on to display
the three parameters that control how the voices and keyboard will
respond.
Note: U
nison
can be on in Layer A and off in Layer B, or vice versa.
Mode: 1 Voice, All Voices —Set to 1 Voice, only one of the twelve voices
plays. Use this setting to emulate a typical monophonic synthesizer.
When set to All Voices, all the available voices play in unison (all twelve
voices or six if Stack or Split are on).
Detune: 0…127 —In All Voices mode, Detune detunes the voices by
varying amounts to fatten the sound.
Key Assign: Low Note, LowRetrig, HighNote, HighRetrig, LastNote,
LastRetrig — Key Assign (sometimes called note priority) determines
what note gets priority when more than one note is played on the
keyboard or via MIDI. Low-note priority is most common in vintage
synths and is often used for playing trills by holding a note and repeat-
edly tapping a lower note. LowRetrig causes the envelopes to be retrig-
gered with each keystroke. HighNote and HighRetrig are similar to the
low note settings, except that the highest note is given priority. And
LastNote and LastRetrig give priority to the last note played.
