The Scale control enables the CronoX 3 to be tuned to tunings other than
Equal Temperament. See Appendix G for a complete description of how to
use TUN files to set the CronoX 3’s scale tuning.
The status of the “Change on Dir Save” button determines what happens
when a preset is saved to a directory other than the current directory.
If the
Change on Dir Save button is off, then when a preset is saved in a directory
other than the current directory, the File Browser remains located at the
current directory. Alternatively, if the Change on Dir Save button is on, then
when a preset is saved in a directory other than the current directory, the
File Browser moves to the directory in which the preset was saved.
Signal Flow
The Signal Flow module is located in the upper right of the Settings panel.
This module displays a diagram showing the internal routing of the
instrument. This diagram is for display purposes only and is not editable.
Optimizing CPU Usage
Software synthesizers are highly CPU-intensive. The real-time calculation of
audio waveforms, filters, effects and modulators places a significant load on
the host computer's CPU.
As such, the main limiting factor in software synthesizer performance is
CPU processing power. Each additional oscillator, filter, effect and
modulator that is included in an instrument adds to the CPU load. As a
result, it's best to switch off any unused units within the CronoX 3 to
conserve CPU resources.
It may also be useful to use the send effects of your host’s mixer instead of
CronoX 3's effects as they are shared among all instruments.
