  • Page 11: Initial Setup For Standalone Use

    ! This section only applies to readers that plan to use Augmented YANGTZE in standalone mode. If you are only going to use Augmented YANGTZE as a plug-in inside a DAW or other host music software, you can safely ignore this section.
  • Page 12 ♪ Virtually all audio hardware can operate at 44.1 or 48 kHz, which is perfectly fine for most applications, including Augmented YANGTZE. Higher sample rates place greater loads on the CPU, so we recommend staying at 44.1 or 48 kHz unless you have a specific reason to work at high sample rates.

  • Page 13: Taking Augmented Yangtze For A Test Drive

    2.4. Taking Augmented YANGTZE for a Test Drive Now that you have Augmented YANGTZE up and running, let’s take it for a quick test drive! If you haven't done so already, launch Augmented YANGTZE as a plug-in or as a standalone instrument.

  • Page 14: The User Interface

    3. THE USER INTERFACE This chapter will give you an idea of how the Augmented YANGTZE user interface is organized, and where to find its functions. 3.1. High-Level Overview Augmented YANGTZE is neatly subdivided into three sections, as shown in the illustration above.

  • Page 15: The Upper Toolbar

    The toolbar that runs along the top of the instrument provides access to many useful features that impact Augmented YANGTZE as a whole: the Augmented YANGTZE pulldown menu, the Preset Browser, the Advanced button, The Main Out control and level meters, and the Side Panel gear icon.
  • Page 16  ♪ While working with Augmented YANGTZE, you can also use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL– / CTRL+ (Windows) or COMMAND– / COMMAND+ (macOS) to quickly adjust the window size by one step down or up.

  • Page 17: Browsing Presets

    ! The Audio MIDI Settings menu is only available when using Augmented YANGTZE in Standalone mode. When using Augmented YANGTZE as a plug-in, the host software handles all of the parameters in this menu, including audio and MIDI routing, buffer size settings, etc.

This is done by using separate MIDI Channels to carry each note's expressive data separately, which can then be understood by synthesizers like Augmented YANGTZE. When MPE is enabled, modulation is displayed in the strip at the bottom of the Advanced Panel, in the keyboard modulation settings.

  • Page 24: Midi Tab

    CC will no longer receive it. 3.4.2. MIDI Tab This is where Augmented YANGTZE may be placed in MIDI Learn mode. In this mode, all MIDI-assignable parameters are highlighted and you can map physical controls on your MIDI Controller to them. A typical example might be to map a mod wheel to the vibrato, or a physical knob on the MIDI controller to control any of the Macro knobs.
  • Page 25 3.4.2.1. Assigning and Unassigning Controls Click the Learn button in the MIDI tab to put Augmented YANGTZE into Learn mode. Controls available for assignment are purple. Controls that are already assigned are red, but can be reassigned to new controls easily.
  • Page 26 Change Parameter: Brings up a large submenu of every assignable parameter • in Augmented YANGTZE. This lets you change the assignment of the current CC/ physical control manually and is useful when you know exactly the destination you’re looking for.
  • Page 27 At the top right of the MIDI tab is a drop-down menu where you can select templates for many Arturia MIDI controllers. These map physical controls to many “most wanted” parameters in Augmented YANGTZE for a plug-and-play experience. A Generic template is also provided for third-party MIDI controllers.

  • Page 30: The Preset Browser

    4. THE PRESET BROWSER The Preset Browser is how you search, load, and manage sounds in Augmented YANGTZE. It has a couple of different views but they all access the same banks of Presets. To access the search view, click on the Patch Browser button (the icon looks a bit like books on a library shelf).

  • Page 31: Sidebar

    This selection enables you to choose from the Factory and User banks currently available in Augmented YANGTZE. Any new Banks you acquire will appear here, and a User bank will be created the first time you save a patch of your own. Clicking on a User Bank's icon will let you delete, rename, or export the bank, or import an image to represent the Bank visually.

  • Page 59: Modulation

    6.2. Modulation Augmented YANGTZE offers a huge number of modulation options. These can be seen in the horizontal Modulation Strip below every Advanced page. Not only do the individual blocks in the Modulation Strip act as a visual display of what each source is doing in real time, but they can also be used to set up modulation routings.

  • Page 63 6.2.3.1. Vibrato and Tremolo Augmented YANGTZE also has two highly simplified LFOs that can handle common and basic tasks without wasting one of the full-featured LFOs. Both can be assigned to any or all Parts in both Layers, and both offer only a sine waveform and no tempo sync for their rates.

  • Page 64: Fun

    6.2.4. FUN Augmented YANGTZE has two Functions available as modulation sources. These are similar to LFOs but have a user-defined waveshape. FUN parameters are as follows: Clicking the Bipolar button causes the LFO to send bipolar control values, which can have values above and below 0 (the start/endpoint).

  • Page 84 6.4.1.10. BL-20 Flanger The BL-20 Flanger is based on the sound of Arturia's Flanger BL-20 plug-in, which is in turn based on the sound of a rare but beautiful-sounding hardware flanger from the 1970s. It doesn't provide all of the BL-20's capabilities, but it still sounds amazing! Rate is the speed of the LFO that varies the delay time.
