Installation:
Copy the CetoneSynth2 directory into your VST plugin directory. After that you may run arch.exe inside 'arch' in the CS2 directory for selecting different CetoneSynth2 versions.
Be sure to select "Overwrite all" when updating CS2 or delete the CS2 folder in your VST plugin folder first (the safest way).
There are three versions of CS available:
Explanations:
Here is a brief description of some of the parameters (only special ones):
OSC modes: Normal, Add, Mul, Super:
Add mode allowes to use more than one waveform and outputs the sum of those.
Mul mode is the same as Add, but with multiplication (AM)
Super mode uses 5 oscillators whose spreading can be controlled by this tiny slider right above of the "Super" button
OSC Morph:
Controlls either pulse width (for Pulse wave) or triangle-to-saw morph for triangle waveform (0/127 == Saw, 64 == tri)
Filter Exp.:
When using this option the control value coming from envelope 2 gets squared which results in an exponential envelope.
Panic:
Results in an all-note-off.
Patches:
Don't forget to press the 'Store' button to save a patch (only available when patch has changed). All editing is done inside the temporary buffer of the Synth engine. If you forget to press 'Store' and change the program (either by using the GUI or MIDI program changes) all changes are lost.
'Recall' reloads a patch and so undos any changes.
'Chaos' creates a random patch
Remarks: Saving a single patch now saves the temporary patch. Loading still overwrites the permanent patch
memory. Renaming a patch also stores it's changes directly into permanent patch memory.
Remarks:
Use the Off-switch to turn off not needed OSCs or LFOs. This saves CPU power.
ModSlots must be set to Source==Off to switch them off.
