1.4 Display & Control Layout
Each page will display the parameter information and control options for the
selected function. While generally this is based on the context and mode of
operation, there are some common features and navigation principles that
apply across all (or most) of the generic pages of Synth.
NOTES
1.5 User Interface Conventions
Adjusting parameters and setting steps follow a dened process. Simply
tapping a [Pad] will play a note, and Holding [Shift] + Tapping [Pad] will lock
the note on. Dened buttons select the labeled function; the grey lower
label refers to a command using shift.
Notes on using the control interface
• The 15 Parameter knobs are touch sensitive, and its parameter is
automatically selected when touched. Turn a (Knob) to change its value
or parameter setting.
• Press [Shift] + Turn (Knob) on some parameters to change the value
with a faster resolution of adjustment. This will increase the speed of
adjustment when changing values across its range. This precise
behavior is dependent on the parameter selected.
• The (Screen) knob is not touch-sensitive. The rotation has detent
control and is push-clickable. Press (Screen) to select and to navigate
the global settings menu. Also press (Screen) to select an option and to
move back when navigating.
• The (Screen) knob will change any selected parameter value in the
same way as the parameter knobs. It will also navigate within the global
settings menus.
• The three [Screen] Buttons generally select each of the 3 Synths. They
can also operate the command displayed above.
3 generic controls operate master
volume, tempo and pitchbend.
