Although this statement is not from Confucius, we would still like to use this Motto for this index.
Here you will find the important overview of working around Synthesizers and Electronic music. If
you memorize this list, no one will be able to impress you with his knowledge in this area. Even
when you read technical magazines this list will help you understand the contents of articles much
better.

- An Arpeggiator dissolves played chords into single-tones and creates broken chords,
which speed and play direction can be adjusted. Effects such as Gater and Chord trigger can also be

sound slowly fades in (slow attack).

Sirius has 4 different Banks with each 96 Synthesizer sounds and 2 Banks with each 96 drum
sounds. The Program-change-command is not capable of calling all tones, as MIDI has only 128
different programs which can be called with this command. Therefore the Bank-change-command
will always be sent before the program change to call the chosen bank. Bank-change occupies the

beats per minute. One hit equals a quarter note.
For example, if you adjust an instrument to bypass, the tones will be rerouted around the
electronic sound effect. A bypass parameter can be found in the Vocoder menu of the Sirius.
The Carrier signal is the second input of the
For example, if you let your
voice be analyzed by the Vocoder, you can change the pitch of your voice by using Pad sounds as a
carrier.
The Chord Trigger chops the played chords, as though you would continuously
strike the chords.
- Effect which gives an instrument a suspended and dimensional sound impression.
