Hybrid Basic is a sample-based synthesizer that can create spectacular sounds.
Volume slider: Set the overall volume level of the instrument.
Waveform pop-up menu: Choose the sample set used to generate the basic synthesizer sound.
Glide slider: Determine the time it takes a note pitch to change, or slide, to another note pitch.
Wheel to Vibrato slider: Determine the amount of pitch modulation by your keyboard modulation wheel.
Wheel to Cutoff slider: Determine the depth of Cutoff modulation by your keyboard modulation wheel.
Cutoff slider: Allow less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the sound or making it brighter.
Cutoff Type pop-up menu: Choose from a number of preset filter curves. Try them out, and experiment with the Cutoff and Resonance parameters.
Resonance slider: Emphasize the frequency range around the point determined by the Cutoff parameter.
Cutoff Attack slider: Determine the time it takes before the Cutoff parameter begins to affect the sound.
Attack slider: Make the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
Decay slider: Make the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer time at slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
Sustain slider: Determine the level of the sound after the Attack or Decay phase has completed.
Release slider: Determine the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on your keyboard.
