Sound Design
Interface
Sound design patches have a two-page layout as well: Main and FX. The Main page contains a set of essential sound modifying tools, and the FX page contains a set of insert and send effects that you can apply to the sounds.
Main Page
- Sound Selector: Click on the sound name to open the sound selection menu. You can also browse through sounds by using the left and right arrows.
- Sound Modifiers: Pyramid offers 8 automatable controllers for Volume, Pan, Attack, Release, Pitch, Stereo Spread, Low Pass Filter Cutoff and High Pass Filter Cutoff.
- Semitone Lock (Pitch): When enabled, truncates the pitch difference value to semitones.
- Sample Start: Determines where playback of the selected sample will start from. Click and drag the cursor to set a new position.
- Forward/reverse playback: The direction of the arrow reflects the direction of playback, either forward or reverse.
- Global: Determines whether the main page controllers affect the patch globally or per-sound.
FX Page
- Effect selector: Click on an effect name to select it.
- Effect on/off: Click the power button to turn the effect on/off.
- Effect parameters: All the parameters for the selected effect are displayed here. All parameters are automatable.
- Save/open buttons: Can be used to save or load presets. Presets are stored in .nka files.
