This synth has no dedicated manual
This means that in fact it does not need one
 

  • Hover the mouse over a control: you'll see a balloon tooltip explaining the control
  • Right-click on a free space within GUI: you'll see the "About" window with several special notes on synth operation
  • Read the sections below
  • Contact me if you still have questions


    Getting started
    Place the synth's dll file (plus the subdir if supplied) into your VST folder. That's all.
    To Vista/Se7en users: It is NOT recommended to keep your VST's in \Program Files\ folder (usually c:\Program Files\Steinberg\vstplugins) since a synth may need writing some files while working (usually on the first start). If you still need to keep them in such a place, and experiment problems - contact me for instructions or a special distributive version



    Common controls (typical for many of Fsynthz)
    - [octave] - overall transposition
    Note: this control is usually global, i.e. the changed octave is kept while you browse the presets.
    - [porta] - portamento time (for legato notes)

    Effects:
    - [delay] - cross-delay amount
    - [flng] - chorus-flanger amount. If tooltip says "Max Flange Is Middle", believe it (it means that you get maximum flanging in the middle of control; maximum control gets you no dry signal, i.e. stereo phase shift only)
    - [shade] - a formant (notch filter) pitch
    - [shift] - left/right timeshift (stereo enhance), comes with [L/R] global switch (the choise is kept while you browse presets). You are encouraged to use this L/R shift instead of stereo panning since: 1) panning tends to sound cheap and unnatural 2) panning changes the volume L/R balance, so you may overload a channel

    Filter controls:
    - [Q]: filter Q (resonance)
    - [init] or [icut]: the initial filter cutoff freq (before attack)
    - [peak] or [yama]: the peak filter cutoff freq (after attack, before decay). Note that it may be lower than "init" (thus you get inverted envelope)
    - [sweep]: the filter sweep, amount and rate in one control.
    - [att] - attack sharpness + chiff click (up: shorter and sharper, dn: slower)
    - [decay] - filter decay time (from "peak" back to "init")

    Amplifier:
    - [A] [D] [S] [R] - Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release.
    When Release set to "Auto" you get longer releases for longer notes. Great for playing fast passages to slow chords/drones.


    Troubleshooting
    This synth is probaly compiled with SynthEdit v1.0x. That means that, on several systems, you may face difficulties loading two same synths in one project. (Note: this never happens on single-core processors). Remedies are:
  • copy the synth dll several times under different names (somesynth.dll, somesynth1.dll, somesynth2.dll...) and load these copies. Your system will see them as different synths.
  • contact me for a 1.1x version
  • just use different synthz in one project :)
