DX10--Simple FM Synthesizer
Sounds similar to the later Yamaha
DX synths including the heavy bass but with a warmer, cleaner tone.
The plug-in is
8-voice polyphonic and is designed for high quality (low aliasing) and low
processor usage - this means that some features that would increase processor
usage have been left out! Requires a VST 2.0 compatible host. (NOTE: Underlined means the parameter is controllable while note is playing; otherwise you have to start a new note to hear the change).
|
1. Attack |
Envelope attack time (fade-in) |
|
2. Decay |
Envelope decay time
(fade out) |
|
3. Release |
Envelope release
time (fade out after you let go of the key and send a note-off) |
|
4. Coarse |
Modulator
to Carrier frequency ratio (as a multiple of the carrier frequency) |
|
5. Fine |
Fine
control of modulator to carrier frequency ratio for detuning and inharmonic
effects |
|
6. Mod Init |
Initial
modulator amplitude level ("modulation index") |
|
7. Mod Dec |
Time
for modulator amplitude level to reach the sustain level |
|
8. Mod Sus |
Final
modulator level (modulator amplitude sustain level) |
|
9. Mod Rel |
Time
for modulator level to reach zero after key release (modulator
release time) |
10. Mod Vel
|
Velocity
control of modulator level (brightness). Also
called "velocity sensitivity" |
|
11. Vibrato |
Vibrato
amount or amplitude/depth of vibrato
(note that heavy vibrato may also
cause additional tone modulation effects) |
|
12. Octave |
Octave
shift. Behaves strangely |
|
13. FineTune |
0 cents
means standard tuning. There are
100 cents in a semitone. |
|
14. Waveform |
0 means
carrier is a sinusoid. Higher
value adds harmonics to the carrier for
richer spectrum |
|
15. Mod Thru |
Allow modulator wave to pass thru to the output. Turn
to the right to mix the modulation wave with the output (apart from modulation
of the signal). This control is available only for the first modulator. |
|
16. LFO rate |
Controls
the speed of the vibrato effect
(parameter 11) |
