Synthesis Window
Click on any of the “DRIVER” options to the left of the window to select it (the selected
driver will be outlined in red). Next click on one of the PIPE/STRINGS options to the
right of the window — the selected PIPE/STRINGS option will be outlined in red. A com-
posite image representing the selected DRIVER and PIPE/STRINGS options will
appear in the “PREVIEW” window. The “VARIATION” buttons will also appear and be
selectable. If one of the “VARIATION” buttons in the lower part of the window is now
clicked, the corresponding voice data will be transmitted to, and can be played via, the
connected tone generator. The transmitted voice will sound briefly when the data has
been successfully transmitted.
When the transmission process is completed, the Visual Editor informs you of it by play-
ing a broken chord using the transmitted voice. You can audition the edited voice as a
broken chord by clicking the composite image.
The DRIVER Options
The Visual Editor provides 6 DRIVER options. This is the part of the instrument which
generates the energy which will be converted into sound and subsequently “shaped” by
the PIPE/STRINGS section.
• Single Reed
A single-reed woodwind mouthpiece like the type used on a saxophone or clarinet.
• Double Reed
A double-reed woodwind mouthpiece like the type used on an oboe or bassoon. The
“grass flute” also works on this principle.
