Sound Parameter
Blofeld User´s Manual 44
m
Please note that the chosen number of unisono
voices will respectively lower the number of
available voices.
Uni Detune 0...127
Controls the detuning of the Unison voices. Each voice is
detuned differently; with Uni Detune, you control the
overall amount.
w
Uni Detune is perfectly suited to thickening the tone.
Arpeggios benefit too from the detune function.
Glide off / on
Enables or disables the Glide effect. "Glide" or
"Portamento" describes the continuous gliding from one
note to another. This effect can be created on fretless
stringed instruments or some brass instruments (e.g.
trombone). It is very common on synthesizers and used
throughout all music styles. Please note that Glide affects
the pitch of all oscillators.
Rate 0...127
Determines the glide time. Low values will give a short
glide time in a range of milliseconds that gives a special
character to the sound. High values will result in a long
glide time of up to several seconds which can be useful
for solo and effect sounds.
Mode Portamento / fingered P / Glissando /
fingered G
Determines the way the Glide effect works.
• Portamento means that a continuous glide is
performed on all new notes.
• Bei fingered P means that a continuous glide is
performed only when notes are played legato.
Staccato played notes start on the exact pitch of their
note.
• Glissando makes the normal Glissando effect in the
same manner by changing the pitch in semitones.
• fingered is similar to Glissando but generates a
pitchchange only when notes are played legato.
Pitch Source see Table „Modulation Sources“
Selects the source of the pitch modulation for all
oscillators. A common source for pitch modulation is an
LFO whose strength is controlled by the modwheel or
aftertouch.
