Ed!son –Instrument Editor

About these instructions

This documentation is based on the assumption that you have read the WaMi Box

manual, so that you are familiar with MIDI fundamentals and the basic operation

of your WaMi Box.

The following section contains a digression into the world of synthesizers and

samplers for beginners. There's also a section designed to get experienced users

up and running as quickly as possible.

Hint

Work your way through this documentation with your PC running. Try out what you've read

immediately. Many acoustic events cannot be described adequately in words

This documentation is organized in four sections:

•

Basics: Fundamental information which you must know in order to work with

Ed!son

•

Operation: Ed!son's user interface and global functions, basic procedures

•

Reference: Description of the individual operating elements/audio parameters

•

Appendix: Glossary and keyboard shortcuts

Important note:

Certain Ed!son parameters can have a drastic effect on the volume of a sound, leading to unpleasant

acoustic surprises. Protect your ears and speakers by working at low volumes - at least until you've

gained some experience with Ed!son.
