76 DeepMind 12 User Manual • Mono - The same voice is allocated to every note played. • OSC-DRIFT - This option allows you to recreate the oscillator tuning drift • Mono-2 - The same two voices are allocated to each note played. Voices that vintage analog synthesizers have. are spread in the same way as Unison-2 mode. As you increase the OSC-DRIFT value, the pitch of the oscillators will be slowly • Mono-3 - The same three voices are allocated to each note played. modulated at random. Voices are spread in the same way as Unison-3 mode. OSC-DRIFT is applied to both OSC 1 and OSC 2. • Mono-4 - The same four voices are allocated to each note played. Voices The OSC-DRIFT range is from 0 to 255, and the default setting is 0 (no drift). are spread in the same way as Unison-4 mode. • PARAM-DRIFT - This option allows you to recreate the drift that many • Mono-6 -The same six voices are allocated to each note played. Voices parameters in a vintage analog synthesizers have. are spread in the same way as Unison-6 mode. As you increase the PARAM-DRIFT value, the drift distances will increase. • Poly-6 - A single voice is allocated to each note played, but polyphony is limited to the next available six notes. Note: The parameters which DRIFT is applied to are: • Poly-8 - A single voice is allocated to each note played, but polyphony is • OSC1 PITCH MOD, OSC1 PWM, OSC2 PITCH MOD, OSC2 TONE MOD, limited to the next available eight notes. • VCF FREQ, VCF RES, VCF ENV DEPTH, VCF LFO DEPTH, VCA ENV DEPTH, Note: When an even number of voices are used (Unison2/4/6/12, Mono • MOD ENV DEPTH 2/4/6), the voices are spread across the spectrum evenly, which means the root note is not actually played. However if an odd number of voices The PARAM-DRIFT range is from 0 to 255, and the default setting is 0. are used, when the voices are spread across the spectrum, then one • DRIFT-RATE - This controls the RATE at which the OSC-DRIFT and voice will be playing the root note. PARAM-DRIFT operate. It is important to note that each voice has • UNISON DETUNE - This option is the same as the UNISON DETUNE fader on the surface. Any changes on the surface will be reflected here. independent random DRIFT generators for the OSC-DRIFT and the PARAM-DRIFT, to more closely replicate the characteristics of a vintage synthesizer. The UNISON DETUNE range is from ±0.0 cents to 50.0 cents (0 to 255), and the default setting is 0.0 cents (Off). The rate is controlled by a random timer which generates a ramp between a multiplier of 1x and a multiplier of 2x the rate set by the DRIFT-RATE • PRIORITY - When in monophonic mode, or when more notes are played parameter. than there are voices available (due to polyphonic/unison settings), this mode controls which notes are prioritized. The OSC-DRIFT range is from 0 (25 ms-50 ms) to 255 (2.5 s-5.0 s). The default OSC-DRIFT setting is 0. • Lowest - In lowest note priority, when a newly requested note is lower in pitch than the notes currently being played, then it will be given priority and will steal the voice that is playing the highest note. To summarize, if the DRIFT-RATE is at 0, each "drift" will be a random time between 25 and 50 ms, and then the parameter drifts to another random value. At 255, each "drift" will be a random time between 2.5 s and 5.0 s and • Highest - In highest note priority, when a newly requested note is then the parameter drifts to another random value. higher in pitch than the notes currently being played, then it will be given priority and will steal the voice that is playing the lowest note. 5. To exit the VOICE PARAMETERS menu, press the PROG switch to return the main display, or press POLY EDIT once more to reach the PITCH PARAMETERS • Last - In this mode the notes are prioritized based on the order in menu. which they are played. When a newly requested note is triggered while all voices are playing, it steals the voice used by the note played least recently. The default PRIORITY setting is Last. Note: PRIORITY is not available as an option when in POLY CHAIN mode because excess notes are played on other DeepMind 12 units in the Poly Chain. (See the CHAIN PARAMETERS MENU). • ENV-TRIGGER - The envelopes can be triggered in different ways. This allows you to choose a mode from the following options: • Mono - In this triggering mode, the voice will start its attack stage from the current envelope level, that is, its last level from the previous release. The default triggering mode is Mono. • Retrigger - In this triggering mode, the envelope will be reset to zero and then start its attack stage. • Legato - In this triggering mode, the envelope does not re-trigger when a new note is played. The only time the envelope will start the attack stage again is once the note is released. • One-shot - In this triggering mode, the envelope will be reset to zero and then start its attack stage. Once the decay phase is complete, the envelope will jump immediately to its release stage (that is, there is no sustain phase).
