2.3.3 The Editor View
Clicking on the Editor tab gives access to the synthesis engine itself. The multitimbral architecture
of Chromaphone 3 includes two identical instances of the synthesis engine in parallel, each repre-
sented by a different color and corresponding to one layer or sound. The graphical user interface
of each synth engine is identical and has been organized around three different sections as shown
in Figures 9, 10 and 11. The
Editor view also includes a layer mixer which is used to adjust the
contribution of each layer in the resulting sound.
The first section, called Modes , gives access to different performance parameters as well as to
a step sequencer. The second and third sections, called Synth and Effects respectively, are used for
in-depth editing of the synthesis and effect parameters. One can switch from one section to the
other by using the
Modes , Synth and Effects tabs located just below the layer mixer. Note that the
two layers are followed by a Master Effects section which is identical to the Effects section of the
individual layers.
