 4.3  Adjusting the Chor'X parameters

On 

Chor'X

, the sound parameters are controlled using knobs, switches or Pad 2D.

To use a mouse to adjust the parameters of

Chor'X

 which are controlled by knobs, click inside the knob and

move the mouse up or right to increase the value, down or left to decrease it.
If you right-click on a parameter, or if you hold-shift while clicking, you can adjust the parameter with fine

precision.

To use a mouse to adjust the parameters of

Chor'X

 which are controlled by a switch, just click inside it.

To use a mouse to adjust the parameters of

Chor'X

 which are controlled by Pad 2D, locate the dot you want to

move, click on it and drag it around the PAD. By right-clicking, you can move several dots at the same time.

Keyboard shortcuts:

In addition, we have provided some soft key combinations to perform several very useful tasks:

Windows

:

CTRL+left click: resets parameter to its default value.

CTRL+right click or CTRL+Shift+left click: initializes the default value of the parameter.

Win+Alt+CTRL + click: opens the MIDI Control panel, with the parameter already selected.

OSX

:

Apple+left click: resets parameter to its default value.

Apple+Shift+left click: initialises the default value of the parameter

Apple+Alt+CTRL + click: opens the MIDI Control panel, with the parameter already selected.

When a parameter is chosen via a drop-down menu, just click on the button or label and select the item.

The help button (

?

) on the toolbar displays a panel summarizing these shortcuts.

 5  Preset Management

 5.1  Main Toolbar

In the toolbar you can find two buttons, displaying the category name (Bank, Author, Type, Style, Feeling or
Project), which open the

sort

 management menus.

The first two text fields show the current sorting group and the third shows the current preset.

Clicking the arrow on the left of the category or preset names opens the corresponding menus.

Note: When a parameter is modified, the name of the preset is followed by a

*

, indicating that the current

settings of

Chor'X

 no longer match the stored preset.

When you want to save a modified preset, click on the

Save or Save As

button.

In order to prevent you from erasing them, the Factory presets cannot be modified. When you edit a Factory
preset, the

Save

button will be grayed out, and you will have to use the

Save As

 function to save it in another

bank.

If you edit any preset, other than a Factory one, the

Save

 and

Save As

 function will both be available.

The main difference is that the

Save

 function will save the preset under its current name, and with its current

tags, overwriting the previous incarnation of the preset, while the

Save As

 function will open a dialog box where

you can modify the name of the preset, the bank in which it will be stored, and all its tags.
