6:6 Visualizer scope
Each synth in DCAM: Synth Squad features a real-time context-sensitive visualizer scope. This should not be regarded as
an oscilloscope, but rather as an aid to visualising each part of the synths.
For example, when the mouse is positioned over a control in the osc section of a synth, the waveshape is displayed in the
scope. The display is updated in real time as any relevant controls are adjusted.
Parameter value
display
In this example, note
the waveform shape is
shown in the scope as
the Osc1 Wave control
is adjusted.
The numerical value
of the control is shown
in the parameter value
display.
Filter sections feature a display of the filter response curve, even while filter controls are modulated. Cypher’s
waveshapers show the shaping curve.
Amp sections show the amp envelope shape, while individual modulators such as LFOs and envelopes show their
respective shapes.
Locking and unlocking the Scope
The Scope can be locked by right-clicking (or CTRL-clicking) on a control in the relevant section and selecting the Lock
Scope
function from the parameter context menu that appears. The focus of the scope stays on the parameter and its
parent section. Use the Unlock Scope function in the same menu to return to normal context-sensitive operation.
Parameter value display
The scope area also includes the context-sensitive parameter value display. This shows parameter values as you move
the mouse over their controls, and is updated in real time as controls are adjusted.
Note that the parameter value display is unaffected by the
Lock Scope
function.
6:7 FX versions of synth plugins
All 3 synths are also provided as midi-controlled audio effect versions, in order to process external audio through the
synth’s circuits. Fusor is not provided as an effect version, due to the presence of licensed 3rd-party effects in its built-in
FX suite.
External audio is routed into the synths in place of any white noise sources.
After you have loaded and configured a synth FX plugin as required in your host, you must engage the synth by playing a
key!
If you do not require the sound of the synth’s oscillators alongside the external audio input, set the synth’s osc controls so
that only the noise source is audible. This can be achieved by turning down every osc mixer fader except the Nse fader in
Amber or Strobe. In Cypher, turn the Blend control of each osc fully to the right.
Strobe’s Ext. external audio input
appears in place of the main osc
Nse
(Noise) source.
Cypher’s Ext. external audio input appears
in place of the white Noise source in each
osc. The
Pink
button must be deactivated.
Amber’s
Ext.
external audio input
appears in place of the Synth
section Nse (Noise) source.
