Synth Engines

2 mininova oscillator engines. Circuit is not FM synth. It does analog modeling and wavetable synthesis.

Oscillator

Waveform - wave shape
Index (OSC Pulse Width) - Shift waveform.
Semitones - Multiple octave playing one note. Detune semitones up or down on octave. setting it to +12 effectively shifts the oscillator tuning up one octave.
Cents - Cents detune. (1/100 of a semitone), ±50 tunes the oscillator to a quartertone midway between two semitones.
Density - Density. adds copies of the oscillator waveform to itself. Up to eight additional virtual oscillators are used for this, depending on the value of the parameter. This produces a “thicker” sound at low to medium values, but if the virtual oscillators are detuned slightly (see Density Detune below), a more interesting effect is obtained.
Detune - Density detune. This parameter should be used in conjunction with the Density control
Interpolate - Wave interpolate. (value of 127 will create a very smooth transition, with the adjacent waveforms blending together. With a value of zero the transitions will be abrupt and obvious)
VSync - Virtual Sync depth?

Mixer

Mix oscillator 1 and 2

Osc - Add Oscillators to mix. Can detune adding second oscillator and mix them on mixer.
Noise - Add noise
Ringmode -
PreFX -
PostFX -

Filter

Filter out certain frequencies. (Color and Shape of sound)

Filter type: What to cutoff. Lowpass - cut right, High pass - cut left, Bandpass - both / 12dB (flat) sound is bassy (more higher freq), 24dB (more slope) cutoff slope. Greater value sooner cut off.
Bypass: Which oscillator will be affected. Normal, O1 bypass, O1+O2 bypass(will still affect noise and some settings)
Cutoff Frequency Filter - How much to cut off filter, alter the tone of your sound from soft to sharp.
Resonance Filter - End
Key Track 0-127 - change freq depend on how high on keyboard note is (higher keys higher freq) (usefull if playing large range )
Env2 > Freq +-64 - Add automatically Filter to react on Envelope 2 !!!!!!!!!
Q norm - : This parameter alters the bandwidth of the peak created by the resonance control. The value of filter res has to be set to something other than zero for this parameter to have any effect. This feature enables the Filter section to emulate many of the filter responses found on various classic analogue and digital synths
Drive - distort / amplify going in to filter. dif types (bit crush, rat reduce)
Drive Type - Same as EFFECTS > DISTORTION

Envelopes

3 Envelopes: Velocity, Velocity, Delay

Attack
Decay
Sustain
Release

.
Envelope Amplifier  (amplifier allow go sound through so 1 env will change loudness)
Envelope Filter  
Envelope Extra one  (you can  control by macro ) normally attack   

LFO

LFO require destination to work. (Apply only in matrix)

Waveform - Wave shape
Slew (as portamento or glide for LFO wave ) limits how quickly wave can change value shape of the LFO waveform. Sharp edges become less sharp as Slew is increased.
Phase - Shift tells LFO where in the wave to start
One Shot - o generate just a single cycle of its waveform.
Common Sync - LFOs are in use for pitch modulation (their most common application), Common Sync is only applicable to polyphonic voices. It ensures that the phase of the LFO waveform is synchronized for every note being played. When to set Off, there is no such synchronization, and playing a second note while one is already pressed will result in an unsynchronized sound as the modulations will be out of time
Rate - (can sync to temp ) Speed / LFO’s frequency. A value of zero stops the LFO, and most musical effects are likely to use values in the 40~70 range,
Rate Sync - synchronized to aninternal/external MIDI clock. When set to Off, the LFOs run at a frequency set by the Rate parameter
Delay - (can sync to temp )with fade modes
Delay Sync -
Sync Style - Key Sync / Free - start with new key push s Off, there is no way of predicting where the waveform will be when a key is pressed.
Delay Triger - Singiel / Multi - Fade/Gate parameters set by Fade
Fade mode
- Fade In - gradually increased over the time period set by the Delay parameter
- Fade Out gradually… , leaving the note with no LFO modulation.
- Gate In - onset of the LFO’s modulation is delayed by the time period set by Delay parameter, and then starts immediately at full level.
- Gate Out - The note is fully modulated by the LFO for the time period set by the Delay. At this time, the modulation stops abruptly.

Clipper	Simulation of a	digital overload.
Cross-Over	Simulation of the	crossover distortion generated by bi-polar analogue Circuitry, (e.g., amplifier output stages)
Rectify	All negative-going half-cycles are inverted	simulating the effect of rectification.
Bit-Reducer		Reproduces the “grainy” quality associated with lower bit rates, as found in older digital devices.
Rate-Reducer		Gives the effect of reduced definition and HF loss, similar to the use of a low sample rate.

Power Supply

Voltage must always be the same as that required by the device. (Tick)
Amperage on the adaptor must be same or higher than required by device (Tick)
Polarity must be the same (Is the power supply Centre Positive? (Tick?) This is the little symbol that looks like a C with a dot in the middle with a + and - on either side. If the Plus is pointing at dot in the middle it is center positive.
Power plug size

In regards to the amperage, think of amperage as how much current the power supply can handle safely without burning out. If the supply can deliver 1.5 amps and you only pull 1 amp then it is safe. (Never use a lower amperage power supply, it will probably burn up or catch fire if badly designed)

Not all USB cables are the same. The thickness of the wires that supply power to the device can be critical to both audio performance, and its resilience to static electricity. The best way to choose a cable is to look at the markings on the side. These will usually say ‘2725’ and then another set of numbers containing ‘AWG’: ‘28AWG/1PR AND 24AWG/2C’ or similar. The first number will always be 28AWG, and the second will be a number between 20 and 28. The lower this second number, the thicker the wire. If the printing just says ‘28AWG’, this means 28AWG for both numbers. Focusrite recommends using cables where the second number is 24AWG or lower.
