piano keyboard that you can use to play the instrument if a hardware

5.1 Mix
The CronoX 3 contains a dedicated 5.1 Mixer that can be used in host
programs that support 5.1-format audio mixing. The 5.1 Mixer is displayed
at the bottom of the instrument when the 5.1 Mix button is selected.
The mixer enables 7 different signal sources to be positioned within the 5.1
sound stage. The available signal sources are: Generator 1, Generator 2,
Filter 1, Filter 2, FX 1, FX 4 and FX 6.
The 5.1 Mixer contains the following sections: Source, Volume, Left/Right,
Front/Rear, Center, LFE (Low Frequency Effects) and Display.
The heart of the 5.1 Mixer is the Display section located on the right of the
mixer. It shows a virtual “room” in which the source signals can be
positioned. Each source signal appears in the Display as a number which
can be moved left and right, and forwards and backwards within the room.
To show the current position of a signal source select the source in the
Source section at the far left of the 5.1 Mixer. The selected source will then
appear as a number in the Display.
Signal sources can be positioned in two ways. The first way to reposition
the signal source is to click on its number in the Display and then drag it to
a new position. The second way to reposition the signal source is to use the
“Left/Right” and “Front/Rear” sliders to the left of the Display.
The overall volume of the source signal can also be set using the Vol
(“Volume”) slider. This control acts independently of the other controls.
The “Center” control is used to set the signal level of the Center channel.
