Cubase vst-the Interactive Phrase Synthesizer by - HTML preview

Active, Init and Global Controls

This is the major On/Off button for the both “synths” (IPS A and B). The button is dark with white text when the IPS is On. If you have created an endless loop of music (using the Hold and Loop buttons) you turn it off by clicking on Active twice (turn the IPS Off and On) or by stopping Cubase VST (using [0] or [space bar]).

By clicking the Init button you set both synths to some default settings, with almost all functions turned off. This is good if you want to start making up a Combi from scratch.

You can select from one of 32 “programs” from the pop-up Combi menu in the Global module. When you do this both IPS A and B are loaded with completely new settings. These “programs” are called Combis, and sets of 32 Combis can be saved to and loaded from disk. You can also copy Combis between the 32 memory locations, by using the pop-up Functions menu. If you want to change the name of a Combi, double click on its current name in the global module.

Whenever you have made any changes to a Combi, you can store those changes in the Combi by clicking on the Store button. This saves the changes to RAM, so that they are still there when you select another Combi.

P You have to Store your settings before selecting another Combi, or the settings will be reset to the last stored version. The Store button does not save settings to disk, you need to use the Functions menu for that.
