Soundtower Tetra PlugSE V1.1 1
Welcome!
Thanks for purchasing the SoundTower Tetra PlugSE™ for the Tetra synth from Dave Smith Instruments.
This proprietary plug-in is installed in your audio software as a Virtual Instrument (VST Instrument or AudioUnits)
and will control all of the functions found on the Tetra.
Stunning graphics, intuitive functions and easy-to-use menus make tweaking the Tetra hardware fun and easy.
Most importantly is the ability to automate every function of the hardware synth for synchronized playback with
your session. Adjusting the timing and the values of all automation data allows you to perfect the performance
prior to committing the audio to disk.
The Tetra PlugSE™ Editor features:
Editing of all Tetra program parameters.
Automation of all Tetra panel parameters.
Direct MIDI connection.
Fully re-sizable editing panels.
Load/Save of Program Banks.
Transmitting and receiving of Program Bank data.
Full Tetra System Exclusive implementation.
Flexible routings of parameter changes (Automation parameters and MIDI tracks.)
Recording of real-time parameter changes using automation or MIDI continuous controllers.
The Editor works with any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or audio software that supports VST or AudioUnits
(AU) plug-ins. These include, but are not limited to Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton, Digital Performer, Logic and
many others.
