Mode 1: Synthesizer
Synthesizer mode allows you to play the Synthino XM with a MIDI controller connected to the
MIDI jack or from your favorite DAW (digital audio workstation) software with MIDI over USB.
You can also play the synthesizer in standalone mode using the 3 note buttons. Explore
different sounds by changing the waveform, controlling the note envelope parameters (ADSR
attack, decay, sustain, release), modulating the pitch and filter with independent LFOs for
each, and adjusting the low pass filter.
Each of the 4 independent voices has its own waveform/sample and ADSR envelope
parameters. The
waveform
pot lets you choose from waveforms 112, noise generator, and 5
drum samples.
To access secondary pot functions denoted by “fn:”, tap the
fn toggle
button. Hold
fn toggle
for two seconds to reset device.
Use
voice select
pot to choose which voice the controls are changing. LED indicates which
voice you selected. Voices 14 are associated with MIDI channels 14. Higher MIDI channel
numbers map to voices 14 by wrapping. e.g. notes on channel 5 use voice 1, notes on
channel 6 use voice 2, etc.
