5. THE MAIN PANEL
Now that we have all of the setup and housekeeping out of the way, it's time to dive
into actually creating and modifying presets in Solina V. We'll divide this exploration of
the instrument's features into two chapters, to reflect the two levels of programming detail
available to us.
In this chapter, we'll learn about the features on the Main Panel, the front panel of the
instrument that looks quite similar to the original Solina (although with several extra
controls). This gives access to the basic control options the original hardware had – meaning
that you can recreate lots of great sounds, just the way they were made in the 1970s.
However, there's a lot more to this modern software version than just an accurate modeling
of the original machine. (This shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, we're Arturia, and
adding cool new functions to these beasts is what we do.)
If you click on the
Advanced
button in the Upper Toolbar, or just click the lid of the Solina V
case, it will flip open to reveal the Advanced Panel . This is where you'll find all of the special
additions that make Solina V a 21st-Century update to a 20th-Century classic. We'll discuss
those in the next chapter.
To close the lid, click the
Advanced
button again, or click the top edge of the lid above the
controls.
5.1. Using the Onscreen Controls
Operating the onscreen controls is fairly simple: if it’s a button or a switch, click it to change
it from on to off (or vice versa); if it’s a wheel or slider, click and drag it to edit its value.
If you want to fine-tune a parameter rather than moving it coarsely, you can do it by right-
clicking before you drag the cursor. Double-clicking will return a parameter to its default
setting, if it has one.
Of course, if fiddling with a mouse all the time isn't your idea of creativity, remember that
you can assign all of these controls to your MIDI controller using the MIDI Tab [p.23] settings
in the Side Panel.
