Audiomixer
The audiomixer
is the main mixing unit. Here you can mix the audio datafrom the instruments
and the samples
together
with effects. The instruments/samples can be freely assigned to any of the Audio-Out
channels.
This
approach is different from other software but its common for hardware samplers/synthesizers.
Each
Audio-Out channel can route the signal through 4 insert effects.
That
means the audio signal which arrives at the channel is completely passed through
the effects.
The
mixer knows two different channel types.
Audio-Out
Channel
You
can route any sample/instrument-out to one of the Audio-Out channels. The maximum
number of
Audio-Out
channels is 12.
An
Audio-Out channel holds 4 Insert Effects.
Master-Channel
The
master channel combines audio signals from all channels.
For
mastering issues it contains up to 4 Effects. Usefull for compressor, equalizer,
etc…
For
panning issues you are only allowed to insert plugins which support stereo processing.
Add/Remove Audio-Out Channel
Select "Remove
Outport" or "Add Outport" from the main menu "Song->…"
If
you select " Remove Outport " the audio-out channel with the highest
number will be deleted.
For
adding a new out port you can choose the "Add Outport" option.
Effect Selection
Just right click the mouse over a effect slot.
Then a context menu for the selection should pop up.
You can choose
effects out of three categorys (Direct-X Plugins, Vst-Plugins
and DMO-Plugins).
If you want to remove an effect just select "Clear".
To
view the effect dialog just double-click on the slot.
If the VST-Plugin has no own gui sequential vibes will
display this dialog.
To change a parameter just select it with the mouse.
To adjust the values use keyboard keys up/down or
the mouse wheel.
You can change
presets or load a bank or preset for the current effect.
The
bank/preset file format is the same which cubase uses.
So
you are able to export/import patches between various programs.
