SynthPad is an instrument inspired by the interface of the Korg Kaossilator family of devices. Instead relying on piano keys to register notes, SynthPad uses a dedicated touch surface to control the sounds. Additionally the Y-Axis on the touch surface can be used to control different parameters, like filter cutoff and LFO values, making it an extremely expressive little toy.
 

 

Its sound engine is a fully programmable monophonic virtual analog synthesizer.

Among its parameters one can find:

• 2 oscillators with different wave shapes
• Fine tuning of the second oscillator
• Volume Envelope
• LFO modulation
• A Low-Pass filter
• Filter Envelope
• Arpeggio

 
Additionally, the scale and the key on the touch surface can also be configured, making this instrument ideal for live improvisation.

SAVING PATCHES:
It is possible to save patches after you have modified them by following these steps:

• Modify a patch parameter
• Notice that the bank letter for that patch turns red
• Touch the red bank letter to save the modification
• Your patch has now been saved. (Notice the red status on the bank letter is gone)

 
ENABLING THE LOOPER
The looper is just a special setting on the DELAY feature. To activate it, do the following:

• Go to the delay settings page
• Turn the DELAY ON
• Set the TIME to 100%
• Set the FEEDBACK to about 75%
• Set the MIX to about 75%
