The Editor View
This section can be used as a reference for the controls appearing on the different modules of the
synthesis engine of
Ultra Analog VA-3
. These modules are accessed from the
Editor
view which
is displayed by clicking on the
Editor
button located at the top of the interface.
This synthesizer is two-voice multitimbral and is therefore based on two instances of the syn-
thesis engine. These two instances are identical and this documentation therefore applies indiffer-
ently to both layers. The different modules corresponding to each layer are grouped under a
Modes
,
Synth
, and
Effects
view each accessed by clicking on the corresponding tab.
We begin by describing the behavior of the different types of controls appearing on the interface
and then describe the parameters of each module of the synthesizer.
5.1
General Functioning of the Interface
5.1.1
Knobs
The synthesizer parameters are adjusted using controls such as knobs, switches and numerical
displays. A specific control is selected by clicking on it. A coarse adjustment is obtained by click-
holding the parameter and moving the mouse, or the finger on a track pad, either upwards and
downwards or leftwards and rightwards. The value of the parameter replaces its label while it is
being adjusted.
Fine adjustment of a control is obtained by holding down a modifier key of the computer
keyboard (Shift, Ctrl, Command or Alt key) while adjusting the parameter.
Double clicking on a knob brings it back to its default value when available.
5.1.2
Switches
Switches are turned
on
or
off
by clicking on them. They are used to activate or deactivate modules
and the
sync
feature of some parameters.
5.1.3
Drop-down Menus
Some displays reveal a drop-down menu when clicking on them. Adjustment of the control is
obtained by clicking on a selection.
5.1.4
Modulation Signals
Different parameters can be modulated by the signal from different sources including the MIDI
keyboard, envelope generators and the
LFO
modules. Modulation signals are controlled with
small gain knobs located below the corresponding modulated parameters.
