  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Para is the sister synthesizer to Dyad. Based on the same virtual analog core, it expands on the oscillator's functionality and frames the components in a classic monosynth setting that puts focus on the directness and simplicity of its controls.

  • Page 4: Vco Section

    VCO Section The VCO section consists of parameters controlling the two oscillators in Para. Both oscillators are based on the same virtual analog thru-zero core and are capable of linear FM and ring modulation. Wave A and Wave B selects the waveshape of each oscillator. Available shapes are Sine, Triangle, Saw, Pulse and Square.
  • Page 5 VCO Section Tune/Ratio/Fixed controls the frequency of the B oscillator. This parameter has three different modes: Tune – the oscillator frequency is set in relative semitones, from -24 to +24. Ratio - the oscillator frequency is set in multiples of the MIDI note frequency. Fixed - the oscillator is set to a fixed frequency in Hz.

  • Page 6: Vcf Section

    VCF Section The filter in Para is a virtual analog resonant 24dB multi-mode filter with Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass filter types. Cutoff controls the cutoff frequency of the filter and Res adjusts the level of resonance, up to near self-oscillation.

  • Page 7: Lfo Section

    LFO Section The LFO section in Para controls a Low Frequency Oscillator which can be used to modulate the various parameters in the different sections. The LFO is can act as a continuous oscillator and an envelope as well as a random generator.

  • Page 8: Vca Section

    VCA Section The VCA section controls the dynamics of the synthesizer. The ADSR envelope is a straightforward Attack Decay Sustain Release envelope with logarithmic attack and exponential decay. Each stage of the envelope is controlled by its respective parameter. By toggling the top-right Gate icon the envelope Sustain level will not affect the output amplitude, which is useful for creating fast filter plucks while retaining a loud sound.
