Parameters; Vco Block - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

Note:​ The on-screen keyboard only triggers the ​ s ynthesizer ​ p ortion of a sound. Therefore
any program whose sound is partially (or entirely) constructed from your instrument's audio
signal will not play back as expected when using this keyboard.

Parameters

The bulk of the interface of the FI Editor consists of sliders and pushbuttons which control
the various sound-shaping parameters within a program. These are organized into distinct
logical groupings called ​ b locks ​ a nd are (with a few exceptions) labelled with a "watermark"
text indicating the block's name. Most blocks are subdivided into two or more ​ s ections ​ and
can be identified by the ​ B OLD ​ f ont above the panel. The individual sections of a block also
have differently-colored panels.
The various blocks are discussed below. The sliders and pushbuttons within each block are
described (mostly) individually and their ranges or settings are given in parentheses after
their names.
Note: ​ D ouble-clicking a slider will reset it to its lowest value.

VCO Block

The FI contains four identical Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) and these provide the
basic sound source for the synthesizer. Each oscillator has three waveforms (saw, square
and triangle) which can be used simultaneously. The sliders in this block adjust the tuning,
volume and character of the oscillator. The oscillator blocks are located on the left-hand side
of the editor screen and, moving from left to right, their sliders are as follows:
● PITCH COARSE (-24...48):
Determines the pitch of the oscillator in semitones. A setting of 0 will generate the
same pitch as the input signal.
● PITCH FINE (-63...63):
Detunes the oscillator by fractions of a semitone. You can use this option to correct
the imperfect harmonies of the well-tempered scale.
