Unison
All voices are played simultaneously. The Priority setting will determine how the voices are
silenced when more than one note is played at the same time.
The keyboard will play all voices simultaneously.
The sequencer will play the steps for the first track (of four) only, but the notes will be played
by all four voices simultaneously. The sequences of all four tracks will also be sent out as MIDI
note messages, which can be used to sequence external devices (drum machines, other
synths, etc.) along with Timbre Wolf.
When Timbre Wolf receives MIDI note messages (through its MIDI In) on the MIDI channel for
the first voice only, all four voices will play simultaneously. MIDI note messages sent to the
other voices will be ignored.
Priority
The priority setting determines how which note will be replaced when the number of
simultaneously played notes exceeds the voice limit (1 while the Voice Mode Selector is set
to Mono or Unison or 5 while the Voice Mode Selector is set to Poly).
To set the priority of each voice:
1. Press and hold Shift and then press Step Switch 9 (Priority). Keep holding Shift.
2. The display will show the number of current voice (1–4) and a two-letter indicator of the
priority:
To select a voice, press Step Switch 8 (Legato) to move to the next voice (1–4).
To change the priority, turn the Tempo knob to select low (LO), high (HI), or last (LS). The
effects of this setting depend on the voice mode.
