1. Introduction
Welcome to SoundEditor, a full-featured Editor and Sound Development tool for the Dave Smith
Instruments (DSI) Tetra synthesizer.
SoundEditor provides the ultimate editing and sound development experience by displaying all
Tetra Program parameters in a single, intuitive graphical interface. The interface allows you to view
the complete details of any Program at a glance and edit any parameter using the mouse or
computer keyboard. It allows you to see how the factory Programs are put together, or to freely
experiment to see what you can create. Programs can be auditioned from SoundEditor at any time
over the full range of notes (C0 - C8) without the need for a separate MIDI controller.
SoundEditor is available in two versions: a Light Edition (free), and a Pro Edition. Both versions
offer the full Program editing capabilities described above, with the Pro Edition offering these
additional features:
• A Librarian that allows you to compile, organize and save Programs in Libraries for
easy storage and retrieval. An unlimited number of Library files can be created.
• A Program Genetics function, where you can create entire banks of new
sounds from any two source Programs.
• A Morpher function, allowing you to smoothly transition (morph) between
any two Programs as you audition the sound in real time.
• Phantom Program Banks, which allow you to have up to 16 virtual Program
banks available at any time.
• A Snapshots function that allows you to configure multiple UNDO points
while editing a Program.
• Enhanced Sequencer functionality that allows you to create, modify, and
store an unlimited number of Sequencer files that can be applied to any
Tetra Program.
This manual describes the functions and features found in both the Light and Pro
Editions. To get the most from SoundEditor, please read this User Guide carefully.
We hope you enjoy using SoundEditor for your Tetra synthesizer!
