[. . . ] After selecting the target sound, you can overwrite it KOMPLEXER Manual EN 11 using PASTE. To rename a sound, simply double-click the name in the list of 16 or rename it in the host. The RECALL button restores the original sound as it is stored in the bank. Thus when changing a sound, you never lose the original sound unless you save the bank. Load Sound - corresponds to the host function for loading an FXP sound. Save Sound - corresponds to the host function for saving an FXP sound. Import mQ - imports a Waldorf microQ *. mid bank file. Waldorf microQ import The Waldorf microQ has three sound banks A, B and C with 100 sounds each. At the import, all 300 sounds of the microQ are converted and saved as three KOMPLEXER VST banks. For each sound, the MACRO controllers are associated with the following parameters: MACRO controller Expression Character Warp Effect Attack Decay Sustain Release Parameter Cutoff Filter 1 Resonance Filter 1 LFO 1 Speed FX 2 Effect Amp. Release Because the KOMPLEXER VST represents a more advanced stage of development (optimized oscillators and filters) and many features have been adapted to the current needs of users, not every sound from microQ can be converted on a 1:1 basis. Particularly those sounds that use wavetable oscillators may sometimes sound different due to the different wavetables. However, the arpeggiator of the microQ also differs slightly from that of the KOMPLEXER VST. Thus imported arpeggiator sounds may also sound different compared to microQ. 12 KOMPLEXER Manual EN MAIN screen On the MAIN screen, advanced users can intervene more deeply in the sound structure. The three oscillators, the mixer and the two filters are located in this screen. For faster editing, the three LFOs and two envelopes are also placed here. For ease of operation on the MAIN screen, you do not have to constantly switch screens in order to configure the basic settings for a new sound. You can also edit the LFOs and ENVs in greater detail on the ENV/LFO screen. OSCILLATOR 1+2 Oscillators 1+2 are identical except for a few details. For the waveforms Pulse, WT1 and WT2, you can change the pulse width (Pulse) or wavetable pointer position (WT) by clicking and dragging the waveform display. From the drop-down menu under PWM, select the desired source for pulse width modulation or wavetable. You can also switch off the oscillators using the buttons next to the logo, for example to conserve CPU resources. Wavetables - WT1 and WT2 are the two wavetables that can be selected for oscillators 1+2. A wavetable consists of 33 waveforms that are smoothly superimposed in real time, KOMPLEXER Manual EN 13 while older Waldorf synthesizers and the PPG changed waveforms in hard steps. [. . . ] Enter Cutoff under Allocation 1, Parameter F1; enter Resonance under Allocation 2, Parameter F1. Assuming very low cutoff values do not make sense for this sound, set the Min Value to 60. Now, you control the cutoff of Filter 1 from 60 to 127 by turning the Expression MACRO controller by 270°. To increase the resonance for low cutoff values, set the Max Value in Allocation 2 lower than the Min Value. [. . . ]
