User manual IMAGE LINE SOFTWARE POIZONE II OVERVIEW

[. . . ] 4 voice UNISON with user-adjustable stereo panning and 'Octaver'. The Octaver expands the harmonic range and flexibility of the unison sound. Additionally it allows to support the creation of realistic 'vox-like' effects. The gate features smoothness control and the ability to import/export patterns to . fxp files. [. . . ] PB RANGE: Pitch Bend Range. Image-Line PoiZone - LFO LFO LFO is a 'Low Frequency Oscillator' that is an Oscillator that creates an output changes at a rate less than 30 Hz. This generator is used to control parameters inside PoiZone to add motion or variability to sounds in order to make them more interesting or a 'human' feeling. LFO Controls LFO DEST: LFO Destination, select from CUTOFF: Cutoff of the filter frequency (pitch) of oscillator A. SHAPE: Select the LFO waveform shape (SAW, PULSE, TRIANGLE, SINE, RANDOM). RETRIG: Retrigger, when selected restarts the LFO cycle at the start of each note. When the display shows 'no sync' there is no tempo sync and rate of LFO is defined by the 'RATE' knob. Image-Line PoiZone - Envelope Generator Envelope Generator The Envelope Generator is a user assignable Envelope that is used to control parameters inside PoiZone to add motion or variability to sounds. The envelope is triggered on a per-note basis at the start of each note. Envelope Generator Controls EG DEST: Envelope destination, select from CUTOFF: Cutoff frequency of the filter. A, D, S, R: Attack (ramp up speed), Decay (ramp down speed), Sustain (sustain level), Release (release rate) of the envelope. Image-Line PoiZone - LFO Master Level ADSR (Amplifier) Master ADSR (Amplifier) Envelope adds an envelope to the final output sound of PoiZone. The envelope is triggered on a per-note basis at the start of each note. Amplifier Controls A, D, S, R: Attack (ramp up speed), Decay (ramp down speed), Sustain (sustain level), Release (release rate) of the envelope. Image-Line PoiZone - Oscillators Oscillators Oscillators are the basic sound sources of a synthesizer, Poizone has 2 Oscillators (A and B) and one 'Noise' source. Oscillators A and B generate SAW or PULSE shapes that can be futher modified. All Oscillator modulations are applied to OSC A, so that OSC A is a carrier and OSC B is a modulator for RM and SYNC operations (as described below). OSC B always generates an unmodulated sound - for example, this is why OSC B has controls for pitch while OSC A does not. These features together with 'Unison' in the Master Controls section and the Effects Section allow Poizone to quickly and easily create thick, lush textures or cutting leads. BALANCE The knobs in the 'BALANCE' section are used to mix between Oscillator A, B and the Noise source. OSC: Controls the balance between Oscillator A and Oscillator B, turn fully left to hear OSC A and fully right to hear OSC B, the 12 O'clock position is a 50% mix of OSC A and OSC B. NOISE: The output of the OSC knob is then sent to the NOISE mixer, fully left is 100% Oscillators and 0% NOISE, fully right is 100% NOISE and 12 O'clock is a 50% mix of the Oscillators and the Noise source. OSCILLATOR A PW (Pulse Width): Controls the 'width' of the Oscillator waveform when the PULSE button is enabled and Oscillator is in PULSE mode. When fully left and the original waveform will be a narrow 'spike' shape, when fully right the waveform will be equal to the original PULSE waveform (100% width). RING (Ring Modulation): Ring modulation multiplies the output of OSC A and OSC B. Ring can be used to produce extra harmonics that are characteristic of struck metal. [. . . ] Maximus excels equally well as a final mastering plugin or as a pertrack effect. Lock and load. Plugin Instruments (VSTi) Sytrus In the world of hybrid synthesis, nothing compares to the diversity that Sytrus packs. VSTi and FL Studio ready, this softsynth delivers that fat sound you were missing. Morphine Morphine is a powerful Additive Synthesizer with a logical, flexible architecture that allows you to create any sound. You can do this directly by adjusting harmonics manually or by taking any input sample and resynthesizing it into one of 4 independent voices. Toxic III Toxic III features a hybrid synthesis engine, combining the best of FM and Subtractive synthesis. [. . . ]
