PHOBOS - USER MANUAL
SELECTING SOUND SOURCES 1,2,3,4 & CONVOLVERS W,X,Y
B R O W S I N G
The two dropdown menus below the text field allow you sort
by original key or tempo range. Selecting different filter options
from the list of categories on the right hand side will show you
all the sounds that match those tags on the left hand side. There
are also two global tags to select the looped, tempo-matched
material (‘BT LOOPS’) or the pitched tonal material (‘BT TON-
AL’). ALT-CLICK on the sound to audition it before loading it
into Phobos.
If you hear something and you want to search for similar types
of sounds, then click ‘List Similar’ and the browser will show you
the tags corresponding to that sound.
To remove a sound from any of the sources or convolvers you
can ALT-SHIFT click on the name section (as you roll over the
name while holding ALT-SHIFT it will display “REMOVE WAVE”).
To reset the parameter values for only one of the sources or
convolvers at a time you can ALT-SHIFT click on the corre-
sponding 1, 2, 3, 4, (which will display “R” when you roll over the
button while holding ALT-SHIFT).
Phobos challenges the convention of loops, tonal patches and how they are used in convolution which is why when clicking on the
name of any of the sound sources OR any of the convolvers, you will be greeted with exactly the same browser...
