Chord Instruments - Native Instruments Hypha Manual

• + (Filter Panel): Opens the Filter panel that provides additional filter settings, including the filter
type, resonance, and modulation. For more information, refer to
• Glide: Adjusts the duration of the glissando effect, which makes one pitch glide to the next
when playing a second MIDI note at the same time. Glide will only take effect if Play Mode is
set to Mono or Legato.
• Play Mode: Selects one of three modes that determine the Instrument's response to
MIDI input. Poly allows multiple notes to be played polyphonically. Mono only allows one
monophonic note to be played at the same time. Legato only acquires new pitch information
when playing a second MIDI note at the same time without starting a new note event.
• Chord: Selects a chord to be played when pressing a single key. When Off is selected, keys
trigger individual notes. You can open the drop-down menu by clicking on the name and select
an entry from the list. Alternatively, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the
previous or next entry, respectively.
• Vol Envelope: Adjusts the Instrument's volume envelope, which consists of attack, decay,
sustain, and release stages. You can adjust each envelope stage by clicking and dragging the
individual segments in the display.

Chord Instruments

Instruments in the Chord category share the same set of parameters. Each sound consists of a
musical chord, producing harmonic content not easily achieved with a single synthesizer voice.
The Main page consists of the following parameters:
• Blend: Blends between different sound layers, which can be chords or voicings sharing the
same fundamental, or sound variations. This parameter is controlled by the modulation wheel.
• Sound: Morphs between different timbre settings. Turning the control fully to the left produces
a neutral sound.
• Cutoff: Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. Additional filter settings can be accessed
using the + button next to the Cutoff control.
