Tips & Tricks - EMS iVCS3 User Manual

The novel glide parameter was introduced to enhance the sound quality of
the VCF and optimize the smoothing of the cutoff frequency control. You can
adjust and trim this parameter (Settings) to get the more interesting sound. In
particular, the lower the glide threshold, the better is the sound when the VCF
is frequency modulated by the oscillators. In other words, when high
frequency controlled voltages are applied to the filter, they are low-pass
filtered by the C31 capacitor. This means that the filter will not respond to high
frequency CVs, and respond slowly to rapid changes in incoming CVs. The
knob parameter sets the C31 cap. from the CV input circuit, so the filter will
respond to high frequency control.
Tips & Tricks
- MAINS Toggle on/off DSP (Digital Signal Processing). iVCS3 supports
mixed audio with other applications, you can also disable DSP in order to
save battery and CPU consumption. You cannot toggle off the Audio
Engine when it's connected to Audiobus or Inter-App Audio.
- When the user presses the Home button, the app goes to the background
process and will store the whole status of parameters to reload when next
opening the app. See Settings for more explanations.
-
Double tap on the Knobs/Toggles to show the options. In the 'Edit' field
you can enter the value from the keyboard. Tap 'Random' to generate a
random value, 'Default' to reset to the factory settings and configure the
knobs dragging behavior. Step fine resolution sets how many points of
movement result in a one degree rotation in the knob's position. Only used
in the horizontal/vertical slider modes. You can set Knobs behavior from
Settings.
- Tap over the Matrix for zooming in, this then allows new connections to be
made. Tap or drag outside the Matrix area to zoom out. Pinch for the
removal of all connections.
- Double Tab in the Joystick handle to reset at the central position i.e. zero
- iVCS3 can play audio in the background and/or mix it's own audio with
other iOS apps. iVCS3 also supports Apple IAA (i.e. Inter-App Audio for iOs
7 or higher) and Audiobus, so you can send and receive audio through
applications.
