Playback Rates

screenshot of playback rates page

The Playback Rates page controls the pitch and direction of all six voices. Rates are quantized to octaves and distributed across voices as a sine wave, so a single control adjusts the pitch spread of the entire instrument simultaneously.

From this follows that if spread is zero, the playback rate for every voice is equal. RANGE (K3) aids in limiting the total range to 3 octaves if desired.
