The Synthesizer
Creating sounds:
The Oscillator-Section:
We showed you how to access the factory sounds in the section "Playing the sounds of the Sirius".
Now we will show you how to create your own sound with the synth parts 1,2 & 3 (Part-Keys 5-7 on
the mixer section). This procedure also applies to the drum parts (Part-Keys 1-4 on the mixer section)
- even drum-parts are given a complete synthesizer!
We are sure that by now you have already started following your basic instincts: turning controls,
pressing knobs in the synthesizer section, hitting the Randomizer.... Thanks to the macro-controls
and the simple design of the Sirius' front panel, the "learning by doing" or "hands-on" approach will
be easy and fun.
The Sirius is actually offering you many more possibilities for fine editing and sound design than the
front panel immediately suggests. Let’s use the SYNTH 1 part as an example. Press the PART SELECT
Key followed by the SYNTH 1 part Key:
In order to edit this sound within the Edit-section, press the EDIT-Key and select menu page 1 with
the PAGE/BANK-Key:
First we will look at the parameters available in the oscillator section:
Hit F1 thereby selecting the Edit-sound menu.
On this page you can choose one of 125 oscillator models. "22" indicates the number which is fol-
lowed by the name of the oscillator model. The setting can be changed with the VALUE/TEMPO-dial
as well as with the WAVE MACRO- control.
