Control Elements
All parameters can be set by clicking or grabbing them, and moving in an upward or
downward direction.
Note: If you hold Shift before clicking and moving a control, its value can be fine-
tuned.
Repeated clicks on buttons steps through different operating states.
Move the mouse vertically while holding down the mouse button to adjust values in
number fields.
You can adjust envelopes graphically by grabbing the envelope handles (or the outer
edge of the envelope) with the mouse, and moving it/them.
The equalizer can also be adjusted graphically by dragging on the EQ graph.
The effect of modulations are determined by the small modulation controls found at
the control elements of the target parameter. If no source is selected in the Mod and
Via menus (they’re set to Off), the modulation controls will remain hidden.
Note: All parameters can be reset to their default values by Option-clicking on the
respective numerical labels, rotary knobs or sliders.
The Step Sequencer
In the step sequencer section, you can see two rows—each consisting of 32 steps. In
the upper row, trigger information (note on) is either inserted or removed, the lower
row is used for controlling note lengths and velocity. The rows always correspond to
the sound currently selected in the assignment section (synthesizer parameters can be
seen in the main working area of the plug-in). Choosing another sound (via the
onscreen keyboard or MIDI) updates the sequencer display to show the rows that
correspond to the newly-selected sound.
The step sequencer is described more fully in “The Step Sequencer” section, on page
332.
