Introduction

First of all, congratulations with the purchase of the Neosynth! With this expansion board from WaveIdea you will add great sonic possibilities to your CME VX or UF keyboard.

In short the expansion board gives you the possibility to play high quality sounds in various music styles provided in sound banks that can be loaded from an optional SD card that fits into the expansion board. You can also change settings for sounds, MIDI channels etc. with the provided software patch editor.

With an external MIDI sequencer you can use the NeoSynth in multitimbral mode up to 16 MIDI channels. Wave Idea will develop new sound banks in the future to fulfill all your sonic needs! Depending on the sound bank, variations may also exist, so more than 128 sounds can be available.

Terminology

As a reference here is a short list of specific NeoSynth terms used in this manual.

Soundbank. This is what you have loaded into the NeoSynth. It’s a set of (multi)samples, created by professional sound designers and determines how each of the instruments will sound.

Instrument: one sound from a sound bank with specific (multi)samples creating the sound plus specificsettings for the instrument (for instance FX, filter, etc.).

Preset or patch: a set of parameters that describes all settings for a sound bank. It contains the 16 possible sounds for each MIDI channel, the effect settings, the audio routing settings etc.You create presets with the additional patch editor software and can save them on your computer.

Synthesizer channel: A term used to describe one of the 16 possible instruments that can sound at the same time in a so-called multitimbral setting. Because the NeoSynth listens to MIDI you can play 16 instruments at the same time over a maximum of 16 different MIDI channels. One of those instruments with its specific settings and MIDI channel is called a synthesizer channel.

What’s in the box?

Before you go on installing the expansion board please check if your box contains all the shipped items.

– NeoSynth Board; – Rear plate for UF keyboard;

– Rear plate for VX keyboard; – CD-ROM; – Manual; – SD-card with GM sound Bank; – USB cable.

Installing the Neosynth expansion board into your CME VX or UF keyboard

First of all, be sure to unplug the power plug and USB cable from your keyboard to avoid electrical shortcuts during installation. Also be sure to ground yourself to avoid static electricity which could damage your NeoSynth expansion board. Do not touch electronic parts of the expansion board either since this can damage the expansion card as well.

Step 1: Unscrew the metal plate on your VX or UF keyboard on the back. The plate is holded by 4 screws on the VX keyboard and 5 screws on the UF keyboard ( next three pictures shows the VX version).

Step 2: Locate the power/communication connector that should be connected to the Neosynth expansion board (1 connector on the VX keyboard, 2 smaller connectors on the UF keyboard). Connectors feature a mounting direction, the right direction must be respected, no force must be applied while inserting the connector(s).

Step 3: Gently insert the Neosynth expansion board into the VX or UF keyboard and place the 4 respectively 5 screws to tighten the Neosynth expansion board.

Step 4: The quickest way to be able to make sure your Neosynth is installed correctly is to plug in a headphone in the NeoSynth’s headphones output and play the demo on your VX or UF keyboard (see the respective VX or UF keyboard manual how to do that. On the VX press the expansion link button). Another way is to attach one or two audio cables from your Neosynth to your DAW, computer or amplifier to be able to hear the synth. Attach a USB cable from your Neosynth to your computer to be able to edit instruments etc. with the provided patch editor software.

Step 5: Power on the VX or UF keyboard. While doing that watch the back of the keyboard and see if the two leds on the Neosynth expansion board lit up (one yellow and one red one should go on for a few seconds and then go off again). When a USB cable is connected to your computer the red led will burn.

For more information about selecting the NeoSynth and choosing the various sounds please read the manual provided with your VX/UF keyboard. By now it should be possible to play and hear the sounds of the Neosynth.

NeoSynth inputs and outputs

Connections

The Neosynth expansion board has several connection possibilities to increase the use in all kinds of settings (Grey NeoSynth: UF version, Red NeoSynth: VX version).

From left to right:

Headphones output (stereo):

A stereo output, mirrored from the main outputs with it’s own dedicated mixer in the patch editor. Note : By default, this output is connected to the synthesizer part of the NeoSynth.

Master output (L+R):

These outputs can be connected to your DAW, audio card, amplifier etc. Note : By default, this output is connected to the synthesizer part of the NeoSynth

Auxilliary (Aux) output (L+R):

These outputs can be connected to your DAW, audio card, amplifier etc. and can be used as an extra pair of outputs, but also as a send/return together with the inputs to be able to use an external effect box with your Neosynth.

Audio in (L+R):

Here you connect any audio signal for various applications:

1. Make use of the FX section of the Neosynth. Since the synthesizer has a nice Reverb and Delay effect, you can route any audio through those effects

2. Same as 1, but now mixed with your synthesizer track! With the use of the patch editor you can make extensive mixes of both the input and synthesizer audio signal.

3. You can even use the inputs for karaoke! Connect a microphone through a microphone amplifier, use a GM soundset, play a General Midi songfile and sing along with it.

Digital output (stereo):

This is a mirror of the Analog Auxiliary Outputs and can be connected to a digital input on your audiocard, DAW, etc. it provides a 16 bit/48 kHz signal. Note : By default, this output is connected to the inputs part, passing through the input FX engine of the NeoSynth. Note 2: The equipment connected to the NeoSynth S/PDIF output must be configured to recover the S/PDIF clock from the NeoSynth S/PDIF output (slave equipment)

Red and orange leds

These two leds will help you to see the in which mode the NeoSynth is acting. You’ll find more info in this manual about the various possible combinations for on/off or blinking leds.

USB connector

For use with a hardware expander to be able to edit instrument, FX and routing parameters using the provided patch editor software. The Neosynth is class compliant with the USB MIDI specification, thus it does not need any driver to work with Xp-Sp2, Vista, Mac and Linux. A special driver is available for Win Xp, it is not mandatory to install it, it is just used to replace the generic device name “USB audio device” by “WaveIdea Neosynth”

SD-card slot

Here you can put in a SD card for loading various sound banks. As soon as the sound bank has been updated, the SD card can be removed from the slot. There are two ways for loading a sound bank from a SD card:

Software-less

The update can be done by inserting the card, reboot the VX or UF keyboard while holding the button besides the SD card slot. The Neosynth will read the sound bank from the SD card that way.

Using the patch editor

To update from the SD-card using the patch editor: put the card into your VX or UF keyboard.

Connect the Neosynth through USB to your computer, open the patch editor software and connect to the NeoSynth in the Preferences tab. Go to the sound bank panel (last tab) and click the button. A window will appear explaining how to upgrade. See also the next chapter about the patch editor

General

Leds behaviour

The behaviour of the leds on the Neosynth says something about the status of the NeoSynth in various conditions:

Status 1 led Status 2 led Yellow Red

Normal mode

Neosynth is booting On On Neosynth idle Off Off Neosynth idle – USB attached Off On Neosynth playing – USB attached/not attached Lighting On/Off

Sound bank or firmware upgrade mode

Previous sound bank erase Ping pong fast Sound bank upgrading Ping pong slow Firmware upgrading Ping pong fast Firmware upgrade finished - Success On On Sound bank upgrade finished - Success On On Sound bank upgrade finished – Invalid SD card Off Off Sound bank upgrade finished - Error On Off

Sound bank upgrade

This is done in 2 steps :

1. Erasing of previous sound bank : Leds will ping pong fast : requires about 7 minutes. If using patch editor software, a progression bar is available for this first step;

2. Upgrade of new sound bank : Leds will ping pong slow : requires about 13 minutes.

If using patch editor software, a progression bar is available for this second step

See the next chapter about the patch editor software for details on this.

USB MIDI driver

TheWave Idea NeoSynth USB MIDI driver forWindows XP can be installed if you want to change the generic WindowsXP USB MIDI driver name.But it is not demanded. For a description of the installation progressvisit WaveIdea’s website (http://www.waveidea.com)to download and read the PDF manual for that.

The patch editor software

The fun of the Neosynth doesn’tstop here!When you haveattached a USB cable to the Neosynthfrom your computer and installed the patch editor software (both Windows and Macintosh versions are available), you can change the sounds, store them, and make all kinds of settings for multitimbral use of the synthesizer in conjuction with a MIDI sequencer.

In this manual we will take an extensive look at the parameters that can be changed using the patch editor.

To do so, you need to connect your computer with the Neosynth through a USB-connection. There is no need for a driver, it is plug and play. Even in Windows XP, although you could use the provided driver to change the “universal USB device”-name into “Neosynth”as device name.

Installing the editor (Windows): Unzip the editor file on the CD onto your harddrive. Then run the installer.

Installing the editor (Macintosh): Unzip the editor file from the CD onto your harddrive. That will create a DMG file on the desktop from which you can copy the program into the programs folder on your Mac.

If you have made the USB-connection and turned on the VX or UF keyboard you can start up the patch editor. It will start up with this first screen, the “Preferences” screen.

The upper part of every screen in the patch editor will have the same parameters: In here you can select various MIDI settings etc.We will go throughevery parameter of this screen first (see screen shot next page):

First you can select one of the 16 preset slots. A preset will contain all settings for the 16 channels.You can see a preset as a container for a multitimbral setup with a maximum of 16 (MIDI)channels. It contains the audio routing settings for the synth and the external inputs, the effect settings, the MIDIchannel settings, the so-called synth channel settings, containing parameters like filter cutoff, resonance, attack, decay, release etc. You can create as many as 16 presets.

Furthermore there are three buttons “Send”, “Receive”and“Reset”. With these three buttons you can send a preset to the NeoSynth, receive a preset from the NeoSynth and reset the NeoSynth to the factory preset. To the right of these knobs you see the preset number that is selected for sending or receiving, a progressbar which shows the progress of sending or receiving a preset plus two MIDI indicators, telling you if there is action going on on the MIDI in and/or MIDI out port. The user can change the name of the preset in the textfield. By default the names are Preset 1, Preset 2 etc.

Preference Screen

MIDI devices – MIDI In

In this pop-up screen you can choose the available MIDI device to send preset data to, in our case the NeoSynth. Midi in & out selections are saved so thet are retrieved next time you start the software.

MIDI devices – MIDI Out

In this pop-up screen you can choose the available MIDI device to receive preset data from, in our case the NeoSynth. Midi in & out selections are saved so thet are retrieved next time you start the software.

MIDI devices - Connect to NeoSynth

Clicking this button will make a connection with the NeoSynth to show you the firmware version, the hardware version and the serial number (under the knob). As soon as you see that info appear you know that the connection has been made with the Neosynth.

Misc. – Auto send

When selected, the software editor will send every parameter change made in the editor immediately. When unselected you will have to use the “Send” button in the upper screen to send the whole preset to Neosynth. Also you can right click on a knob or any other control to send it indiviually. (On OSX controlclick).

Misc. – Link Left & Right parameters

With this one selected all parameters that have a left and right version are linked, meaning if you change one of them, the other one will change too with the same value.When unselected you can make complete individual settings for the left and right version of a parameter.

Misc. – MIDI thru

When the box is checked, all incoming MIDI data in the software will be forwarded to the MIDI out, so this has to be used with care since it can result in a MIDI loop (a confirmation box appears in the software mentioning this possible MIDI loop). The MIDI thru can be used with a MIDI file player connected to the soft input. This way you can change the sounds by turning knobs in the software while the MIDI song is playing.

Misc. – All sounds off

Pressing this button will send a all notes off message to all 16 MIDI channels. This comes in handy when somehow the MIDI messages are messed up and you hear notes that won’t stop anymore.

Routing screen

There are two stereo audio paths that can be mixed and panned in all kinds of ways. One stereo path (from here called external audio) is the line in left and right analog inputs going through a effects section which is then routed to the S/PDIF output (stereo) and mirrored on the left and right auxilary outputs. On top of that you can mix this external audio signal into the synth audio path.

The second audio path is the stereo synthesizer audio path (from here called synth audio) coming out of the synthesizer engine and is going through the effects section, then going through a mixer where you can make settings for the 16 channels and then going out of the Master left and right outputs and Headphones output (stereo). This audio path can also be mixed into the external audio path.

You can even connect externally with two short audio cables the master L+R master outputs to the Line in L+R inputs to make use of an extra external FX box! First, let’s go through all the controls possible in this screen. We are going from left to right and from up

to down.

LINE IN L+R level control

This knob controls how much signal that comes in from the line inputs will be fed into the stereo signal path.

Enable inputs

This checkbox enables/disables the inputs.

The external audio path is split into left and right paths each with its own panning and level control. This makes it possible to have two completely independend mono signals going through the external audio effects section where they can have different settings.

Summed external audio left channel pan control

This knob controls the panning of the audio signal from the left external audio path. So you can feed something or a lot into the right channel as well. It is fed into the external audio path after the level control of the right channel.

Summed external audio left channel level control

This knob controlsthe level of the audiosignal fromtheleft external audio pathgoing into the effects section.

Summed external audio right channel pan control

This knob controls the panning of the audio signal from the right external audio path. So you can feed something or a lot into the left channel as well. It is fed into the external audio path after the level control of the left channel.

Summed external audio right channel level control

This knob controls the level of the audio signal from the right external audio path going into the effects section.

After these controls the external audio goes into the dedicated effects section. See further on for details the Inputs FX section. When the audio comes out of the effects section there are even more controls!

External audio output level control

First there is a level control which controls the amount of signal going to the digital S/PDIF output (stereo) and the auxiliary outputs (left and right).

External audio mixing level control

This is a level control which controls the amount of the external audio signal that comes out of the effects section which will be fed into the synth audio path.

Now we are going to take a look at the synth audio path.

The left and right output of the synthesizer channels (16 at maximum) are fed into the dedicated synthesizer effects section. Later on in this manual the effects are explained in the Synth FX section. After the synth FX section you see two controls.

Synth audio post effects panning control

This control determines how much of the stereo signal from the synthesizer channels goes left and right. You can see it as a main panning control for all synthesizer channels.

Synth audio post effects level control

This control gives control over the combined level of all 16 synthesizer channels coming out of the synthesizer effects section. You an see it as a main output level control for the synthesizer audio paths.

Please be aware that you can control panning and level for each individual synthesizer channel in the Synth Channels B screen!

Synth audio path switches

Here you see a block with two rows of 16 checkboxes. These boxes control if the audio coming out of the synth effects section will go to the digital S/PDIF and auxiliary outputs or go to the Master and headphones outputs. The 16 boxes corresponds to the 16 MIDI channels of the synth. This way you can for instance direct a drum section of GM channel 10 to the aux outputs while the rest of the channels go to the main outputs.

The last control in this screen is the level control for the headphones output.

It’s your own brain that can come up with good use of these possibilities. It is for instance possible to route one or more of the 16 synth channels to the auxiliary outputs so you can put this signal through a dedicated outboard effect. For instance having a dedicated outboard delay on one or more tracks. Or a compressor on the drumtrack (when you use a GM sound bank). You can even use it as a send/return by routing something to the auxiliary outputs, put it through an effect and send that signal back into the NeoSynth using the line in inputs, make use of it’s dedicated effects block and bleed it into the master out mix!

Inputs FX screen

In this screen you can make all the effects settings of the external inputs dedicated effects blocks. There is a stereo reverb, stereo delay and a stereo equalizer available, to sculpt your sounds in detail.

Let us take look at all the controls:

First there are three checkboxes to enable/disable each effect. If you don’t need one or more of the effects it is wise to turn them off, since that will increase polyphony of the synth module.

Enable Reverb

This checkbox enables/disables the Reverb effect.

Enable Delay

This checkbox enables/disables the Delay effect.

Enable Eq

This checkbox enables/disables the Equalizer effect.

REVERB

The reverb effects gives space to a sound and is mostly used to make a sound more natural, by adding simulated reflection signals like they exist in the real world. We all know how our voice sounds inside a cathedral or the bathroom. That effect is called reverb. The sound of our voice reflects against walls, ceilings, floors, objects and gets back to our ears with a very small delay in time. All those thousands(!) of reflections together make the reverb effect. The bigger the hall or room the longer the reverb sounds.

Reverb – level control

This slider controls the level of the Reverb signal going out of the Reverb FX.

Reverb – Time control

This slider controls the decay of the reverb effect. Higher settings give longer reverb tails.

Reverb – send controls (left and right)

These two sliders control the level of the dry signal going into the Reverb FX. they have a close relations with the Reverb level control on the left. Remember: under the Preferences tab you can set to link the two sliders by enabling the checkbox Link left & right parameters.

ELAY

Delay (or echo) is an effect similar to reverb, but the time the sounds needs to get back to our ears from walls, ceilings, floors, mountains(!) etc. is so long that we “hear” the silence in between. It is the effect of screaming in the mountains: after some time you hear your voice coming back from the mountain walls it reflected on. In the early days of electronics this effect was created by recording the audio on a tape and playing it back from that same tape with a gap from about 200 ms to sometimes several seconds. Later on this effect could be simulated electronically and digitally. You can do nice rhythmical things with it!

Delay – level control

This slider determines the level of the delay signal going out of the Delay FX.

Delay – Time control

This slider dertermines the“gaps”between the dry signal and the delayed signal. It various from 0 to about 1000 milliseconds. With very small settings you can thicken up your sounds. With higher settings you can create rhythmical sounds.

Delay – Send controls (left and right)

These two sliders (L+R) determine how much of the dry signal will be fed into the Delay FX.

Delay – Feedback control

This slider determines how much of the Delay signal is fed back into the Delay FX. With higher settings it takes a longer time for the delay signal to fade out.

Delay – Filter control

This slider determines how much filtering will take place on the delay signal. With higher settings you can simulate old tape machines that loose high frequencies on the delay signal by their nature. The filter is a 6 dB lowpass filter inserted in the feedback loop.

Delay – Delay into Reverb control

This slider determines how much of the Delay signal will be fed back into the Reverb FX. Set to 0 only the dry signal will go through the Reverb FX. Higher settings will have a reverb on the delay signal as well.

Delay – Delay line 1 level controls (left and right)

This slider determines the level of the main delay line whose delay time has been set with the Delay Time slider. So maximum delay times (1000 ms) will be made with this delay line.

Delay – Delay line 2 level controls (left and right)

This slider sets the level of a second delay line, whose time is derived from the Delay time setting. The delay time for delay line 2 is 1/3 of the time made with the Delay time setting. For instance, if the delay time of delay line 1 is about 750 ms, this delay line will produce a delay signal after 250 ms.

Delay – Delay line 3 level controls (left and right)

QUALIZER

This effect is actually a number of filters that control specific parts of the soundspectrum. With an equalizer you can enhance or push back certain frequency ranges like the bass frequencies, middle frequencies or high frequencies of a sound. It’s a perfect effect to make a sound stand out in a mix of various sounds. Or to cut off some irritating frequencies in a sound. It’s a 4 band equalizer with gain and frequency controls and a bandwith control for the two mid bands.

Note that you have a complete independent equalizer effect for both the left and right audio channel.

Equalizer – low gain control

This knob controls the level of the gain for the low frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – low frequency control (up to 1.25 Khz)

This knob controls the low frequency that can be level controlled by the low gain control.

Equalizer – mid 1 gain control

This knob controls the level of the gain for the medium 1 frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – mid 1 frequency control (up to 1.4 Khz)

This knob controls the medium 1 frequency that can be level controlled by the medium 1 gain control.

Equalizer – mid1 bw control

This knob controls the slope or bandwidth of the medium 1 frequency that can be set by the mid 1 frequency control. Low values give a small bandwith (1/6 octave), high values give a broad bandwith (3 octaves).

Equalizer – mid 2 gain control

This knob controls the level of the gain for the medium 2 frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – mid 2 frequency control (up to 1.4 Khz)

This knob controls the medium 2 frequency that can be level controlled by the medium 2 gain control.

Equalizer – mid2 bw control

This knob controls the slope or bandwidth of the medium 2 frequency that can be set by the mid 2 frequency control. Low values give a small bandwith (1/6 octave), high values give a broad bandwith (3 octaves).

Equalizer – high gain control (up to 5.2 Khz)

This knob controls the level of the gain for the high frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – high frequency control

This knob controls the high frequency that can be level controlled by the high gain control.

Synth FX screen

In this screen you can make all the effects settings for the synthesizer channels. The effects are globally used for all 16 synthesizer channels. The provided effect blocks are different from the ones in the external audio path.

There is a stereo reverb, stereo chorus, a stereo equalizer and a so called spatializer available to sculpt your synthesizer sounds in detail. In this synth audio path effects section the controls are always combined controls for left and right

Let us take look at all the controls in this section.

First there are four checkboxes to enable/disable each effect. If you don’t need one or more of the effects it is wise to turn them off, since that will increase polyphony of the synth module.

Enable Reverb

This checkbox enables/disables the Reverb effect.

Enable Chorus

This checkbox enables/disables the Delay effect.

Enable Eq

This checkbox enables/disables the Equalizer effect.

Enable Spatializer

This checkbox enables/disables the Spatializer effect.

REVERB

For a overall function of the reverb effect see the description at the Input FX section above. The reverb controls here differs from the reverb controls in the external audio path effects section. It has more extended controls.

Reverb – level control

This slider controls the amount of dry signal going into the reverb effect.

Reverb – main level control

This knob controls the amount of reverb signal going to the main outputs.

Reverb – aux level control

This knob controls the amount of reverb signal going to the aux outputs.

Reverb – type control

This knob sets the type of the reverb. There are 8 settings:

0. Room 1

1. Room 2

2. Room 3

3. Hall 1

4. Hall 2

5. Plate

6. Delay

7. Pan Delay

Reverb – pre-low pass filter control

This knob controls the cutoff frequency of the signal that is going into the reverb effect.

Reverb – time control

This knob controls the time of the reverb tail. Low settings have a short reverb tail, high settings make a long reverb tail.

Reverb – delay control

This knob controls the delay time for the reverb types 6 and 7.

HORUS

In simple terms the chorus effect thickens a sound by adding a slightly changed copy of the orginal to the original. The change is in the pitch of the copy. Because it is very little difference, our ears do not perceive the sound as out of tune. Parameters like delay and pitch modulation will add to this effect. Extreme settings can create real different sounds though.

Chorus – main level control

This knob controls the amount of chorus signal going to the main outputs.

Chorus – aux level control

This knob controls the amount of chorus signal going to the aux outputs.

Chorus – chorus into reverb level control

This knob controls the amount of chorus signal going back into the reverb effect.

Chorus – type control

This knob sets the type of chorus. There are 8 different types.

0. Chorus 1

1. Chorus 2

2. Chorus 3

3. Chorus 4

4. Feedback

5. Flanger

6. Short delay

7. Feedback delay

Chorus – pre-low pass filter control

This knob controls the cutoff frequency of the signal that is going into the chorus effect.

Chorus – delay control

This knob controls the delay time

Chorus – feedback control

This knob sets the amount of chorus signal that is fed back into the chorus effect.

Chorus – rate control

This knob controls the rate of the chorus effect.

Chorus – depth control

This knob controls the depth of the chorus effect.

EQUALIZER

Note that you have a complete independent equalizer effect for both the left and right audio channel.

Equalizer – low gain control

This knob controls the level of the gain for the low frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – low frequency control (up to 1.25 Khz)

This knob controls the low frequency that can be level controlled by the low gain control.

Equalizer – mid 1 gain control

This knob controls the level of the gain for the medium 1 frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – mid 1 frequency control (up to 1.4 Khz)

This knob controls the medium 1 frequency that can be level controlled by the medium 1 gain control.

Equalizer – mid1 bw control

Equalizer – mid 2 gain control (up to 1.4 Khz)

This knob controls the level of the gain for the medium 2 frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – mid 2 frequency control

This knob controls the medium 2 frequency that can be level controlled by the medium 2 gain control.

Equalizer – mid2 bw control

Equalizer – high gain control (up to 5.2 Khz)

This knob controls the level of the gain for the high frequency. 0 = -12 dB, 127 = +12 dB.

Equalizer – high frequency control

This knob controls the high frequency that can be level controlled by the high gain control.

PATIALIZER

This effect can enhance the “stereo feeling”of a sound or sounds. You can also use it with a 4 speaker setting when you use both the main outputs and the aux outputs together.

Spatializer – level control

This slider controls the amount of signal going into the spatializer effect.

Spatializer – Delay control

This control sets the amount of delay signal that creates the spatial effect. Higher settings give a more pronounced spatial effect.

Spatializer – stereo/mono checkboxes

These checkboxes determine if a stereo or mono signal goes into the spatializer effect.

Spatializer – main+aux/main checkbox

These checkboxes determine if the spatializer signal goes to the main outputs plus the aux outputs or only to the main outputs.

Synth channels A screen

In this first of three synth channels screens you can alter various parameters that will change a synthesizer sound. You can make these changes for each of the 16 individual synthesizer channels.

Synth channel A – portamento checkbox

With this checkbox you can turn the portamento on or off. Portamento is also called glide. It is an effect where the pitch of the sound ‘glides’ from one key to the other.

Synth channel A – wheel level control

This knob sets the modulation depth of the modulation wheel on your controller keyboard

Synth channel A – portamento control

This knob sets the portamento or glide rate, i.e. how fast the pitch glides from one to the other note.

Synth channel A – express level control

This knob sets the level of the expression pedal.

Synth channel A – panning control

This knob sets the panning of each individual synthesizer channel in the stereo field.

Synth channel A – level control

This slider controls the level of each individual synthesizer channel.

Synth channels B screen

In this second screen you can alter level settings for the various effects plus an additional effect: vibrato. Vibrato is an effect where you change the pitch of the original sound using a so called low frequency oscillator. It is used to simulatevariousreal world instruments like flutes, where you make this effect with your lips and fingers, or on a string from a violin, by stretching the snare with your finger in a rhythmic way.

Synth channel B – reverb level control

This knob sets the amount of signal that is going into the reverb effect for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channel B – chorus level control

This knob sets the amount of signal that is going into the chorus effect for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channel B – vibrato rate control

This knob sets the rate of the vibrato for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channel B – vibrato depth control

This knob controls the depth of the vibrato effect for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channel B – vibrato delay control

This knob sets the time before the vibrato effect is coming up after a key is pressed. Again you can set this for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channel B – pitch control

This knob sets the global pitch for each of the 16 individual synth channels.

Synth channels C screen

In this screen you can change the cutoff and resonance of the built-in low pass filter. Such a filter can have great effect on a sound by removing certain parts of the soundspectrum of that sound, in this case by filteringout high frequencies.The effect gets even greaterby an extra parameter,the resonance control.With this control you enhance the frequencies around the the point from where frequencies are cut off.

Synth channel C – filter cutoff control

This control sets the cutoff value of the filter. The higher the value the brighter the sound.

Synth channel C – filter resonance control

This control sets the resonance level of the filter, the higher the value the more resonance you hear.

Synth channel C – amplifier attack control

The control sets the time it take for the level of the sound to reach it’s maximum value. At zero the sound

will sound immediately at it’s maximum value, higher values makes the sound come up in level in a certain time.

Synth channel C – amplifier decay control

Decay control sets the time a sound will go on while a key is pressed. Low values makes that a short time, the highest value will make the sound go on until you release the key.

Synth channel C – amplifier release control

This control sets the time a sound will go on after you have released the key. A low value will drop the soundlevel immediately while a high value will make the sound go on for some time after you released the key.

With the Attack, Decay and Release controls you “shape”the volume of the sound in time. These controls are very important. A pad or string sound needs slow attack and a longer release, while a piano or organ sound needs a fast attack and a slower release for instance.

-->

x-->

Here you see a typical ADSR curve. On the x-axe time is represented, on the y-axe it’s the amplitude of the volume of the sound.

The standard envelope form is ADSR, which start with Attack time (A) from minimum level to maximum, falls back to Sustain level (S) with Decay (D) time. After key release with Release time (R) the signal will go back to 0 (if Sustain level was 0 nothing happens after Decay time has passed). On the NeoSynth there is no sustain control and the sound falls in the release time back to zero after the decay time has passed.

Sound bank screen

In this screen you can make various settings for bank and program selection on the 16 MIDI channels. You can also upgrade a sound bank from this field. Beware that we are talking about two different types of banks here! The first control (bank select) is a controllerto select a bank which contains a maximum of 128 programs (or instruments). The upgrade sound bank button refers to a sound bank which contains all the (multi)samples which provides the raw material for the synthesizer to process and create sound with. So a sound bank is a file and container for the (multi)samples which can be loaded into the NeoSynth. A bank is a container for 128 programs. A sound bank can contain 4 banks of 128 sounds for instance.

Sound bank – bank select control

With this control you can select various banks on the NeoSynth per MIDI channel. Each bank can contain a maximum of 128 progams.

Sound bank – program channel

With this control you can select the program for every midi channel within the chosen bank. There are a

maximum of 128 programs in a bank.

Sound bank – include to presets

This checkbox determines if the made settings for bank select and program channel will be included in the active preset when saved.

Sound bank – sound bank name

Here you can see the name of the sound bank that is going to be uploaded to the NeoSynth.

Sound bank – sound bank size (MB)

Here you can see the size of the sound bank that is going to be uploaded to the NeoSynth.,

Sound bank – upgrade sound bank

This knob starts the upload of the sound bank to the NeoSynth.

The menu items of the patch editor

In the main menu bar there are some global parameters like saving, opening, connecting and other features. We will shortly describe them here, since most of them are pretty obvious.

ILE

File – New patch

This will create a new patch. A patch is a complete setting of 16 presets which can be made with the NeoSynth patch editor. You can save these patches on your computer.

File – Open patch

With this command you can open a saved patch.

File – Save patch

With this command you can save a newly made patch on your computer.

File – Save patch as

With this command you can save an existing patch with a different name, to be able to keep the original patch.

File – Reset patch to default

With this command you can reset all 16 presets to default values.

File – Quit

This command quits the patch editor software.

RESET

Preset – Send

A preset is a complete setting for the NeoSynth, including the synthchannel settings etc. With this command you can send a preset to the NeoSynth (remember, in the preferences tab you can choose to automatically send every change you make in the software, including sending presets!)

Preset – Receive

With this command you can request the preset settings that are in the NeoSynth.

Preset – Copy

With this command you can make copy of the preset settings and paste it into another preset with the preset paste command.

Preset – Paste

With this command you can paste a copied preset into another preset.

Preset – Reset to default

This command resets the active preset in the software to default values.

MIDI devices – MIDI In

MIDI devices – MIDI Out

In this pop-up screen you can choose the available MIDI device to receive preset data from, in our case the NeoSynth.Midi in & out selections are saved so thet are retrieved next time you start the software.

MIDI devices - Connect to NeoSynth

Activating this line will make a connection with the NeoSynth to show you the firmware version, the hardware version and the serial number (under the knob). As soon as you see that info appear you know that the connection has been made with the Neosynth.

Misc. – Auto send

Misc. – MIDI thru

When the box is checked, all incoming midi data in the software will be forwarded to the MIDI out, so this has to be used with care since it can result in a midi loop (a confirmation box appears in the software mentioning this possible midi loop). The midi thru can be used with a midi file player connected to the soft input. This way you can change the sounds by turning knobs in the software while the midi song is playing.
