In Samplitude 11.5 Producer there are two different types of software
synthesizers:
Object synths: These synths build up individual synth objects in Samplitude
11.5 Producer. A corresponding synth object can be moved onto any track
without anything changing on the synthesizer settings. Object synths are the
Drum & Bass machine, BeatBox 2, Atmos, Vita, LiViD, and Robota.
Note: Object synths can also use object effects. Open the object editor (view
page 75) via the corresponding object's context menu.
Track synths: These synths do not form any individual synth objects in
Samplitude 11.5 Producer, but"normal" MIDI objects instead. They correspond
to the function of external hardware synthesizers or VSTi plug-ins, which are
also controlled via MIDI. Like all MIDI objects, they are dependent on the track,
that is, the corresponding track synth is specified in the MIDI track settings.
Correspondingly, the track synths can also be selected in the track editor and
modified. Vita and Revolta belong to this type of software synthesizer.
Programming the synth object
Depending on the plug-in, various functions to create and control sound can
be applied via the operating console. Please read the following chapters
pertaining to the individual synthesizers in this regard.
To monitor programming, playback can be started and stopped at any time
with the space bar while the operating console is open. If the synth plug-in has
its own play button (e.g. the beat box), then it will start the plug-in solo without
playing the other tracks of the arrangement as well.
Arranging the synth object
Once you have finished programming the melodies or rhythms of the synth
object, you can close the operating console and arrange the synth objects on
the tracks. They can be stretched or compressed, faded in and out, turned
down or up, etc. with the help of handles: These steps are the same for all
objects.
The operating console of every synth object can be reopened at a later stage
by double clicking or via the synth button if you would like to reprogram the
object. In addition, you can drag as many other synth objects of the same
software synthesizer as you like onto the tracks and program them separately.
