acoustic sounding timbres. Its parameters provide a great range of expression and spectral var-
iation.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Ar-
range view). The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in
Strip (Mix view) — for more information please refer to section ↑12.4, The Plug-in Strip.
