Master Settings 

Master Vol:

 Controls the main output of the 

synth and it is limited to 16 steps .

(SID Limitation)

 

Mode: 

Selects between Monophonic mode 

or 3 Voice Polyphonic . 

KEY: 

enables or disables keyboard graphic  

reaction. 

(Read the note)

 

THR: 

Sends incoming MIDI notes through the MIDI OUT port. 

(Read the note)

 

Select  MIDI  OUT: 

this  drop  down  list  determines  the  hardware  MIDI  out  port  which 

HyperSID hardware unit is connected. 

FPB: 

if you press on this button the FPB control window will appear. 

RST: 

resets the Hardware unit and mutes all the sounds.  

 

Note: 

The Graphic keyboard of HyperSID is a little CPU hungry we will try to fix this problem 

in the future versions. For now in order to get the better CPU performance you can turn off 
the  keyboard.  THR  must  always  be  selected  to  transfer  incoming  notes  to  hardware  unit 
otherwise just knobs data transferred via the MIDI link. 
 
 

FPB Control  

 
The front panel backlight (FPB) functions as a MIDI driven  
Visualization in the enhanced series of HyperSID HW unit. 
Changing FPB parameters will have no effects on the old  
HW units without backlight. 
 

Brightness Slider:

 sets the FPB brightness. 

Enable: 

enables or disables the FBP functionality.  

For normal operation Enable switch must be selected  
And always off must be unselected. 

Always off: 

forces the HW unit to disable FPB even in the  

Next start up or power down. 

Link to: 

here you can select the modulation sources to 

Modulate the brightness.  
 
 

Pitch bend: 

Range

: sets the pitch bend range. The pitch bend range can be 

Between 1 and 12 semitones, which means a setting of 12 will 
Bend one octave up or down. Note that some VSTi hosts also have  
A setting for pitch bend range, in order to get a correct pitch bend range 
This feature must be disabled or set to 12 semitones.
