The pitch bender should show 64 when untouched, 127 at the top and 0 at the bottom. The modulation wheel should
show 0 at the bottom and 127 at the top. If you do not have these values you can repeat this once again.
He who has the knowledge, is well informed!
Although this statement is not from Confucius, we would still like to use this Motto for this index. Here you will find the important
overview of working around Synthesizers and Electronic music. If you memorize this list, no one will be able to impress you with his
knowledge in this area. Even when you read technical magazines this list will help you understand the contents of articles much better.
Analyze - An Analyze signal (i.e. microphone) is one of the two inputs of the --> Vocoder
Arpeggiator - An Arpeggiator dissolves played chords into single-tones and creates broken chords, which speed and play direction
can be adjusted. Effects such as Gater and Chord trigger can also be found in the Arpeggiator Menu of the Sirius.
Attack - The fade in of an instrument. The piano has a very short Attack (percussive), as the string sound slowly fades in (slow
attack). ->Envelope
Audio System - Name for all devices which make sound audible and amplify music (Stereos, Amplifiers, PA).
Balance ->Panorama
Bank-change - - >MIDI Controller to choose from the different - > Program-change- banks. The Sirius has 4 different Banks with
each 96 Synthesizer sounds and 2 Banks with each 96 drum sounds. The Program-change-command is not capable of calling all tones,
as MIDI has only 128 different programs which can be called with this command. Therefore the Bank-change-command will always
be sent before the program change to call the chosen bank. Bank-change occupies the controller no. 0.
Bpm - beats per minute. One hit equals a quarter note.
Bypass - For example, if you adjust an instrument to bypass, the tones will be rerouted around the electronic sound effect. A bypass
parameter can be found in the Vocoder menu of the Sirius.
Carrier - The Carrier signal is the second input of the --> Vocoder. For example, if you let your voice be analyzed by the Vocoder,
you can change the pitch of your voice by using Pad sounds as a carrier.
Chord Trigger - The Chord Trigger chops the played chords, as though you would continuously strike the chords.
Chorus - Effect which gives an instrument a suspended and dimensional sound impression.
Cutoff frequency - The frequencies above the cutoff frequency are depressed by the filter.
