3.5 THE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD AND ITS REAL TIME CONTROLLERS
A virtual keyboard is used to control the synthesizer notes and add supplementary real time modu-
lation settings. It can either be coupled with the sequencer section and the effects or used alone to
save space.
The keyboard and its controllers
3.5.1 The keyboard
The virtual keyboard situated on the bottom of the second screen, allows the quick testing of the
sounds of the presets, or the sound that you are editing, and this without the need for an external
MIDI keyboard.
The pitch bend and modulation dials are also available for height (affected to the oscillator or fil-
ters) and modulation settings (affected to any of the synthesizers modulation sources). The connec-
tions are made by cables on the first screen.
3.5.2 The keyboard controllers
The different settings concerning the real time controllers affected to the keyboard can be found on
the left, above the virtual keyboard.
Here you will find all of the settings applied to the 4 key follows, the pitch bend and modulation
wheels, to the velocity as well as the after touch.

Before using them, go back to modular synthesizer section to define the parameters, which will
be modulated by these controllers. The connection jacks are found underneath the modular synthe-
sizer section.

For this example, lets take the “stereo_pad” sound created earlier. Connect the output of the
modulation dial “mod” (at the bottom of this section) to the filter1 cut-off frequency modulation
