2.3.3 The Editor View
Clicking on the Editor button gives access to the synthesis engine itself. The multitimbral archi-
tecture of Ultra Analog VA-3 includes two identical instances of the synthesis engine in parallel,
each corresponding to one layer or sound. The graphical user interface of each synth engine is
identical and has been organized around three different pages as shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10. The
Synth view also includes a layer mixer which is used to adjust the contribution of each layer in the
resulting sound.
The first view, called the Modes view of the instrument, gives access to different performance
parameters as well as to a step sequencer. The second and third views, called the Synth and Effects
views respectively, are used for in-depth editing of the synthesis and effect parameters. One can
switch from one view to the other by using the
Modes , Synth and Effects tabs located just below
the layer mixer.
The Layer Mixer
The layer mixer, shown in Figure 43, includes general controls which can be applied to each layer.
It is also where the output level of each layer and the master output is monitored and adjusted using
the different level meters and
Gain
sliders.
Each layer can be named using a label. In order to edit a label, click on it and type on the
computer keyboard. Once a name has been entered, hit the Return key or click outside the label in
