The Modes View
The lower section of this view includes a master clock, keyboard, unison, glide, vibrato and arpeg-
giator modules which will be described in more details in Chapter 5. Just below is a clickable seven
octave ribbon allowing one to play different notes on the range of the piano which can be useful
when no MIDI keyboard is connected to the computer.

The Synth View
The
Synth
view gives access to the synthesis parameters described in details in Chapter 5 and allows
one to really go under the hood.
The Effects View
The
Effects
view proposes a multi-effects module comprising an equalizer, a compressor, a reverb,
and two additional effect modules. These five modules are in series and their respective order can
be changed by click-holding on the handle on the left of the module and moving it to the desired
position. The list of options for the two assignable effect modules includes a delay, distortion, cho-
rus, flanger, phaser, wah wah, auto wah, a notch filter, a guitar amplifier, an equalizer, a compressor,
a reverb, and a tremolo. The functioning of the effect modules is described in details in Chapter 5.
