5.3 Synth Parameter Options
The parameter set available for sound design within the synth preset will
depend on the synth model applied. As the synth engine models are all
different, the parameters will vary signicantly. The synth parameter buttons
will allow quick access to the parameter sections.

5.4 Synth Selection & Conguration
Selecting a synth for a chosen slot is performed in the ‘Preset’ option
accessed with [Shift] + [Preset]. In this browser, a synth can be selected to
use or edit. Conguring a synth is based on either choosing a synth engine
preset for editing or initializing a synth engine to start afresh and edit the
synth from a default state. The latter option is used to initialize and create
new presets.
▌ SELECTING A SYNTH PRESET
1. Ensure the scene in which to work is open and active. If a new scene is
initialised this will automatically apply 3 ACD synth engines as defaults
to the synth slots.
2. Select any of the 5 right side synth parameter options i.e. Press
[Engine]. The device will represent the synths as:-
• The lower part of the display will show 3 coloured bars, each
representing a synth slot. Blue - Synth 1, Yellow - Synth 2 and
Purple - Synth 3. The screen buttons represent these synths.
• The parameter values will also reect this same colour scheme for
the selected synth.
• The pads will be arranged in zones which reect the synths. The
synths are shown by colour and the arrangement can be changed in
the main menu grid settings.
3. In a synth parameter page, the 3 Display screen buttons can be used to
select a Synth. For this example, Press the left side ‘Blue’ button to
select [Synth 1] for editing.
