Unison/Glide
The Octopus' Unison/Glide module contains a group of controls related to
the instrument's polyphonic capabilities as well as its portamento settings.
The Unison/Glide module is located on the right side of the front panel
below the waveform display and above the Envelope Matrix.
The Unison/Glide module contains the following controls: Transp
