PHOBOS - USER MANUAL
1. SOURCE NUMBER
The source number corresponds to the sound source number
in the convolution triangle. Click on this to bring up the source
sound ‘controls’ screen discussed in the
‘Advanced Source
Sound Controls’
chapter.
ALT/SHIFT/CLICK on this if you want to reset the settings you
have made for the sound.
2. SOUND SOURCE NAME
Click on this to bring up the browser as discussed previously.
ALT/SHIFT/CLICK to remove.
3. A,D,S,R
These diamonds control the Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release
of a sound. The A,D&R control how quickly the sound changes
so go left to right, the sustain is a level control so goes up and
down. Attack controls how the sound comes in, decay deter-
mines how long it stays at full volume before dropping to the
sustain level. Release governs how quickly the sound dies away
when you let go of the key. You can adjust the curve of the attack
and release by clicking and dragging up and down on the graph.
4. MAPPINGS
This opens the modulation mappings settings discussed in the
‘How To Assign Controls and Automate’
chapter.
5. HPF
Or ‘high pass filter’, this is a filter that allows the higher frequen
-
cies (depending on where you set it) to come through whilst
filtering out the low. With BT’s super fat sounds this is a handy
‘jump on’ knob to control the bottom end. Double click on the
value to enter a specific frequency.
6. WET
Whilst the convolution triangle controls which source sound
goes through which convolver, the source sound still has its own
dedicated mix stage. ‘WET’ allows you to balance how much
pure convolved signal you can hear for the sound source while...
7. DRY
...controls the amount of pure unconvolved signal you can hear.
Double click on the value to enter something specific.
8. MUTE
Mutes the source sound.
9 &10 RANDOM SELECTORS
For instant gratification there are also two randomiser buttons.
Clicking ‘Wave’ will randomly select a sound from the whole
collection and load it in place. Holding “alt” while clicking this
“Waves” button will limit the selection to the sounds in the “BT
LOOPS” category. Holding “shift” while clicking this “Waves”
button will limit the selection to the sounds in the “BT TONAL”
category.
Clicking ‘Params’ will randomise the parameters on the sound
by ±10% of the current value.
