Partials & Discrepancies

Poly / Dual / Unison select independent or stacked voice allocation.

32' / 16' / 8' / 4' select the oscillator register.

PB48 steps through pitch-bend ranges of 48, 12, 7, 5, 3, and 2 semitones.

Live View follows an active voice in the slot editor. Editing pauses the live view display temporarily.

Count sets the number of active partials from 8 to 128.

Distribution changes how partials are distributed through node setup.

Odd/Even changes the balance between odd and even harmonics.

Offset moves partial frequencies away from exact harmonic multiples.

Wave Warp moves the partials closer and further apart in a wave pattern.

Weirdness reduces the distance between partials in a rather weird way. Opens for some controlled detuning setups.

Lock keeps its parameter fixed while other slot values are recalled or interpolated.

X-Voice FM uses the preceding voice as a linear-FM source. FILT uses its filtered pre-amplifier signal; OSC uses its oscillator signal.

Ring segment shows which slots are active and which is being edited.

Slot solo is temporary and is not saved with the preset. It affects notes started after solo is enabled.

Live View follows the current slot position of an active voice and changes followed voice when the current one becomes stale.

Voice dots shows the active voices current amplitude, which one is currently used by live view, and toggles voices off and on.

Slot circle voice dots shows the movement across slots on the slot tracks by each of the eight voices.

Normal / Reverse / Pendulum / Mylife / Skips / Random define the slot order.

Internal / Host select the local rate or musical divisions from the DAW clock. Turning both off disables continuous clocking.

KBD->RST resets a voice to the sequence start on note-on.

KBD->NEXT advances the voice's starting position on note-on.

KBD->RST + KBD->NEXT runs one complete direction-aware revolution in a clocked mode and holds on the final step. When clocked mode is off, it goes one single step with duration set by slew time

Voice Offset distributes voices across different starting slots.

Key Track tracks internal-clock speed from note pitch.

Vel->Pos maps note velocity to each voice's slot position when continuous clocking is off.

CC4 sweeps each voice across the enabled slots when clocking is off.

Slew sets the time or percentage for interpolation between slots. In Vel->Pos and CC4 mode, sets how much of each step or CC4 region is used for interpolation.

LFO / Noise selects between a sine wave or noise as modulator.

Amount sets pitch-modulation depth in semitones. The mod wheel is used as a multiplier and can add up to 1.25 semitones to the displayed amount.

Rate / Color sets LFO speed or the character of the noise source.

Fade In sets how long the modulation takes to reach its full depth.

Mono synchronizes the LFO across voices and removes per-voice Mod Speed discrepancy. With Mono off, every new note resets its own LFO phase.

Key On / Key Off selects whether modulation and its fade begins at note-on or note-off.

Sine / Saw / Pulse / S/H / Noise select the oscillator shape. Non-sine shapes are smoothed when used for amplitude modulation.

Rate sets the free-running frequency.

Fine adds fine adjustment to the modulation-oscillator frequency.

Key Track derives oscillator rate from note pitch and follows the selected PB range.

Fade In sets the modulation fade time.

Key On / Key Off selects whether modulation and its fade begins at note-on or note-off.

Filter FM applies the oscillator directly to filter frequency.

Osc TZFM applies linear through-zero frequency modulation to the additive oscillator.

Amp AM applies amplitude modulation.

Crush-Rate modulates the bit-crusher sample rate.

Rate sets the crusher sample rate. Lower values produce more sample-rate reduction.

Bits sets the output bit depth from 24 down to 4 bits.

Key Track scales the crusher sample rate from note pitch.

LP / BP select the filter response.

6 dB / 12 dB / 18 dB select the filter steepness.

Resonance sets filter emphasis. The filter is not capable of self-oscillation.

Res Warp adds resonance-dependent drive.

Key Track tracks cutoff from note pitch.

Vel->Cutoff moves cutoff from note velocity.

Wet blends filtered and unfiltered output.

LFO / Noise selects between a sine wave or noise as modulator

Amount sets cutoff-modulation depth in semitones.

Rate / Color sets LFO speed or noise color.

Fade In sets how long the modulation takes to reach its full depth.

Mono synchronizes the LFO across voices and removes per-voice Mod Speed discrepancy. With Mono off, every new note resets its own LFO phase.

Key On / Key Off selects whether modulation and its fade begins at note-on or note-off.

Attack sets the rise time from note-on.

Decay sets the time from the attack peak to the sustain level.

Sustain sets the held level.

Release sets the fade from the current voice level after note-off.

Vel Sens sets how strongly note velocity scales amplifier level.

Output sets final output gain.

Comp Mix blends a fixed compressor output with the untreated output.

Attack sets the rise time from note-on.

Decay sets the time from the attack peak to the sustain level.

Sustain sets the held envelope level.

Release sets the return time after note-off.

Amount sets positive or negative cutoff modulation in semitones.

Vel Sens sets positive or negative scaling from note velocity.

Grey mode is the most chaotic MPE mode, it affects a ton of parameters in confusing ways.

White mode distributes pressure and CC74/slide across several synthesis parameters for broad timbral movement.

Red mode uses CC74/slide to open the filter. Pressure controls per-voice amplitude above the envelope sustain floor.

Red mode, zero sustain follows pressure directly when attack and decay are at minimum. Release remains available.

Pitch bend follows the selected PB range.

Sustain holds active notes from MIDI CC64.

MTS-ESP applies tuning from a compatible tuning source.

Tune offsets oscillator pitch independently for each voice, up to approximately one semitone in either direction at maximum.

Wave offsets the horizontal and vertical positions of the partial-editor nodes while preserving their order.

Position offsets each voice along the active slot path. The offset is added to sequencer, CC4, velocity-position, and voice-offset movement.

Harmonic varies partial count, harmonic distribution, and the odd/even balance.

Disharmonic varies partial offset, wave warp, and weirdness.

Mod Speed scales per-voice pitch-LFO, filter-LFO, and modulation-oscillator rates. It also contributes to amplifier- and filter-envelope timing. Mono LFO mode bypasses its speed difference for that LFO.

Mod Depth scales filter-LFO depth, filter-envelope amount, and the modulation oscillator's Filter FM, Osc TZFM, Amp AM, and Crush-Rate destinations.

Bit Crush varies bit depth, sample rate, and crusher key tracking.

Filter Env varies amplifier-independent filter-envelope attack, decay, and release timing.

Filter varies cutoff, resonance, resonance warp, response, and key tracking for each voice.

Amp Env varies amplifier-envelope attack, decay, and release timing.

Level varies voice output level before the final mix.

Stereo places voices at different positions in the stereo field.

Dice generates a new complete set of stable per-voice values. The set is stored with the preset and remains unchanged until another throw or another preset is loaded.

Zero settings bypass the corresponding discrepancy offsets even though the stored random values still exist.

White MPE mode uses the same per-voice values to distribute CC74/slide across slot position, node shape, harmonic distribution, odd/even balance, partial wave warp, and weirdness. This response can therefore change after a dice throw even when the discrepancy sliders are at zero.

Name generates a preset name.

Save writes the current state. Saving the init patch first generates a name automatically.

Factory / User / Starting Points / Favorites filter the preset browser. Favorites and versioned-save settings are stored globally.

Versioned Save writes the next free numerical suffix only when the current preset is dirty.

Folder opens the preset directory for external renaming or deletion.

Refresh reloads filenames and deletions made outside the plugin.
