VA1 Minimal User’s Guide
On-Screen Keyboard
At the top of the screen is a keyboard controller so that you can play the sounds you are creating. This keyboard can be hidden (and shown) with the application menu in the upper-right corner. A little tip: if you slide your finger off the key being pressed on, the key will stay in it’s pressed state, allowing you to manipulate the patch and hear the changes as you make them. Tapping again on the key will “release” that key.
Synth Sections
The major sections of the instrument are accessed by tabs just above the on-screen keyboard. These tab contain the synthesis parameter controls. In the case that there is insufficient screen space to display all of the controls, the control space can be scrolled by touching a non-control portion of the screen and dragging the display up or down.
Synthesis Controls
Synthesis parameters in VA1 are manipulated by switches and sliders in the control space of each tab. Switches are activated (or selected) by tapping on them. Sliders are manipulated by tapping on the desired value or dragging the “handle”. Double-tapping on a slider will return it to it’s “nominal” value (often zero).
