Hybrid Basic
Hybrid Basic is a sample-based synthesizer that can create spectacular sounds.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Waveform pop-up menu: Choose the sample set used to generate the basic synthesizer sound.
•
Glide slider: Determines the time it takes a note pitch to change, or slide, to another note pitch.
•
Wheel to Vibrato slider: Determines the amount of pitch modulation by your keyboard’s
modulation wheel.
•
Wheel to Cuto slider: Determines the depth of Cuto modulation by your keyboard’s
modulation wheel.
•
Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the
sound or making it brighter.
•
Cuto Type pop-up menu: Choose from a number of preset lter curves. Try them out, and
experiment with the Cuto and Resonance parameters.
•
Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cuto parameter.
•
Cuto Attack slider: Determines the time it takes before the Cuto parameter begins to aect
the sound.
•
Attack slider: Makes the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a
piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
•
Decay slider: Makes the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer time at
slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
•
Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack or Decay phase
has completed.
•
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on
your keyboard.
