| Tunefish 4 User Guide | |
| ################################################# | |
| System requirements: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| Mac OS X >= 10.9 | |
| Windows >= 7 | |
| Ubuntu 20.04 | |
| Installation: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| Linux: Copy the tunefish4.so to ~/.vst folder (which you might have to create). | |
| Windows: You can typically choose where to put the plugin and point your DAW to this folder. | |
| Mac: Install it in your home folder to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components for the AU | |
| or /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST for the VST. | |
| Patches you modify and save in Tunefish will be saved into your home directory: | |
| Linux: /home/<Username>/.config/Brain Control/Tunefish4 | |
| Windows: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Brain Control\Tunefish4 | |
| Mac: /home/<Username>/Library/Audio/Presets/Brain Control/Tunefish4 | |
| Usage: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| Here are some little hints as to how to use Tunefish v4. This is by no means complete and I expect you are already familiar with | |
| synth concepts like oscillators, filters, lfo, adsr and effects. But Tunefish has some features that are not easy to grasp at first | |
| so here is some info on them. If you run into any problems using the synth, please drop me a line at payne@braincontrol.org, I will gladly | |
| explain it and extend this document ;) | |
| The generator: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| The generator is a single wavetable that will be generated by using additive synthesis. If you activate the modulation (set the modulation | |
| dial to anything except zero) then the wavetable will be animated randomly, meaning you will get a more lively sound. The view below the generator | |
| shows you the frequency table used for the additive synthesis (top) and the resulting signal (bottom). This is displayed in a static way unless | |
| automated or modulated. | |
| The dials: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| The dials have one distinct feature from most other dials because they will show you their modulation based on the modulation matrix. If you | |
| attach for example an LFO to a dial, a second scale will then animate and show you how the LFO affects the final value of the dial. | |
| The effects stack: | |
| ------------------------------------------------- | |
| Effects are obviously configured in their respective areas on the UI. If you need to activate one of them, go to the effects stack | |
| and place it in one of the 10 slots available. It is allowed to place one effect multiple times into that stack and it will be run | |
| multiple times then, but always with the same set of parameters you gave it. Effects will be executed in the order they appear from | |
| top to bottom. | |
