Unison Switch #	OFF, ON	Switches the detune effect on/off

If this is “ON,” the sound of the selected patch will be layered (three notes), producing a fatter sound.

*If this is turned “ON,” the Mono/Poly parameter will also be set to “MONO” ([SOLO] will light), and the selected patch automatically uses single notes.

Unison Fat Level #	0–127	Strength of the detune effect
		Increasing this value will cause the pitch of the layered notes to be raised and lowered farther away
		from each other (maximum one octave up and down).

TMT (Tone Mix Table)

These parameters specify how the tones will be combined, and how they will be played.

TMT (Tone Mix Table)

On the MC-909, you can specify how each tone will sound in response to pad playing dynamics (velocity). These parameters are collectively referred to as the TMT (Tone Mix Table) settings.

Level

1	Lower	Upper	Velocity
	L.Fade value	U.Fade value

Velocity Control

(TMT Velocity
