The Included VST Instruments
Mystic
To assign any of these controllers to one or several parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the “Mod Dest” box for one of the controllers.
A pop-up menu appears in which all possible modulation destinations are shown.
All Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope parameters are available
as destinations.
2. Select a destination.
The selected modulation destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the modulation
amount when the controller is at its full range.
• You can set positive and negative modulation values by clicking on the value in the
list, typing in a new value and pressing the [Enter] key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Using the same basic method, you can add any number of modulation destinations
for the controllers.
They are all listed in the “Mod Dest” box for each controller.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in the list and select “Off”
from the pop-up menu.
Effects (EFX) Page
This page features three separate effect units: Distortion, Delay and Modulation
(Phaser/Flanger/Chorus). The Effect page is opened by clicking the EFX button at the
top of the lower half of the control panel.
• Each separate effect section is laid out with a row of buttons that determine the
effect type or characteristic and a row of sliders for making parameter settings.
• To activate an effect, click the “Active” button so that a dot appears.
Clicking again deactivates the effect.
Distortion
You can select between 4 basic distortion characteristics:
- Distortion provides hard clipping distortion.
- Soft Distortion provides soft clipping distortion.
- Tape Emulation produces distortion similar to magnetic tape saturation.
- Tube Emulation produces distortion similar to valve amplifiers.
Aftertouch Aftertouch, or channel pressure, is MIDI data sent when pressure is
applied to a keyboard after the key has been struck, and while it is
being held down or sustained. Aftertouch is often routed to control
filter cutoff, volume, and other parameters to add expression. Most
(but not all) MIDI keyboards send Aftertouch.
Key Pitch Tracking This can change parameter values linearly according to where on the
keyboard you play.
