Slow filter pad (paraphonic unison)

Four-voice unison, long envelopes, LFO to VCF — rare pad territory on a mono synth.

Load preset in playground

Why it works

Unison detune fills stereo width when you cannot play chords with independent envelopes.

Long filter sweeps keep interest when the harmonic content is static.

On the SH-01A

  1. Enable unison / chord mode per manual.

  4. LFO slow to VCF, low depth.

A wide, moving wash — not Hydrasynth complexity, but immediate on stage.
