GENERATORS
Sytrus - Options and Helpers
Left-click on the symbols to open the following features:
1. Show keyboard
This shows/hides the preview keyboard.
2. Show block diagram
This shows the Sytrus internal signal routing diagram. Click the
GUI again to return to the normal Sytrus interface. Click the
interface again to return to the normal Sytrus GUI.
3. Show information
This shows the Sytrus version and information screen, to revert
to the normal Sytrus GUI left click on the screen again.
4. Options / Presets
Contains a menu with several items as described below:
Presets
- Yamaha DX7 Presets - Opens a file browsing
dialog to import DX7 SYSEX data. Sytrus will then read the patch
and emulate the original DX7 sound. Imported DX7 presets appear as
subitems in the DX7 menu.
- Copy / Paste preset - Copy and paste
presets.
Oscillators
- Copy / Paste oscillator settings - Allows you
to copy and paste settings between operators.
- Reset waveform settings - returns the Operator
to the default state.
- Randomize waveform settings - randomizes the
waveform settings, use when you are stuck for ideas. And in the
same way that idly fiddling with a Rubik’s cube may solve the
puzzle...you may end up with a great sounding patch.
- Morph oscillator 1 to 5 - Morphs oscillators
2,3 and 4 to create a series of wave-forms linking the end points
in a smooth progression.
Effects
- Unison - Unison is the process of creating
extra (detuned) voices, Sytrus can generate up to 9 unison voices
per operator. This option contains a number of unison presets to
browse and select.
- Chorus - Allows you to browse Chorus presets
for the FX module.
- Reverb - Allows you to browse Reverb presets
for the FX module.
Misc
- Arpeggiator - Inverts the patch ARP.
Tone
- Invert Arpeggio - Inverts the arpeggio
settings in the envelope.
- Portamento (Porta) - Portamento options.
-
- Variable time - Pitch envelope attack length
defines the duration for a 12 semitone sweep, this is used to
calculate a per-semitone glide time that is then applied to any
range. In other words a constant per-semitone portamento rate is
applied so that portamento duration depends on the note interval,
hence the name 'variable time'.
- Track origin - This option takes into account
keyboard mapping and applies the portamento 'end' note keyboard-map
properties to the 'start' note. For example, if the end note had a
low filter cut-off, Sytrus will apply this value to the start note.
If the option is off, keyboard map values will be applied at a C5
note value.
- Range limits - Determines how far the slide
will travel before cutting out, so a 4 semitone limit (when a
larger than 4 semitone interval is played) will slide for 4
semitones before jumping to the target note.
- Octave wrap - An interval larger than one
octave will wrap to less than one octave, that is a glide from C4
to E5 will play as C5 to E5.
