3. USER INTERFACE

The TridA-Pre is packed with great features, and in this chapter, we’ll take a tour and show

you what it can do. We think you’ll be amazed by the range of audio processing options this

plug-in is capable of.

This plug-in is more flexible than you probably would expect at first sight, due to the relative

simplicity of its User Interface. That will always be the main focus of every Arturia product:

to unleash your creativity while remaining easy to use.

3.1. The Control Panel

We will have a detailed look at the Control Panel in

TridA-Pre CONTROL PANEL chapter [p.27]
