7.5 Sound Editor - Synthesizer Parameters

The commonly accessible parameters for clips are available from the eight ‘affect parameter’ controls. A more detailed parameter set are available within Deluge. Accessing and editing the synth parameters of the currently selected synth clip can be performed using the sound editor nested menu option or via the quicker grid shortcuts option.

Sound Editor: Nested Menus

Nested menus provide access to the full parameter set available.

2. Select synth by pressing Synth if not already selected. The synth button illuminates red.
3. Press the Shift + Pad where PAD is the specific function and parameter. Audition + Pad also can be used. For example OSC 1, 3rd column from left includes all OSC 1 parameters. The parameter i.e. LEVEL is labelled under the pad.
4. The actual parameter setting or current will appear on the display, for example ‘50’ for LEVEL and the pad for its value, flashes white.
5. If a parameter is not available, a message ‘FEATURE NOT (YET?) IMPLEMENTED’ is displayed on the display. For example FM parameters cant be accessed in subtractive mode.
6. Turning Select adjusts the parameter setting or value.
7. Use Back/Undo to exit when the parameter has been changed. The Back/Undo button flashes red to indicate that the backup option is available.
8. Continue to edit through other settings and parameters as desired.

Note

If the display indicates ‘FEATURE NOT (YET?) IMPLEMENTED’ when selecting a parameter with the shortcut pads, then this means a function is not implemented in this firmware version and is reserved for potential future implementation. If ‘CANT’ is displayed then the parameter isn’t available for editing in the current mode or configuration.

Sound Editor: Parameter Editing

Editing the actual parameters in the nested menu or when selected with the shortcuts can be done generally, and where required can be finely tuned.

Some functions, for example transpose, have decimal values which can be fine tuned, at an individual digit level. Where this is applicable the digit in focus will be underscored and can be changed by turning Select.

Use the Horizontal control to select the digit in-focus to edit.
