Main Page
The Main page of HYPHA provides key parameters and performance controls that enable you to play and tweak presets.
HYPHA's Main page features a set of controls that enable you to tweak classic synthesizer parameters.
HYPHA includes two different types of Instruments, each with their own dedicated set of parameters:
Solo Instruments: Instruments of this type belong in the Bass, Keys, Pad and Textural categories. For more information, refer to Solo Instruments.
Chord Instruments: Instruments of this type belong in the Chord category. For more information, refer to Chord Instruments.
Solo Instruments
Instruments in the Bass, Keys, Pad and Textural categories share the same set of parameters. Each Instrument consists of two layers A and B, producing a rich sound not easily achieved with a single synthesizer voice.
The Main page consists of the following parameters:
Tremolo/Vibrato: Adjusts the amount of the tremolo or vibrato effect. This parameter is controlled by the modulation wheel.
A / B: Adjusts the level of the two sound layers A and B. The X-axis controls the level of layer A, while the Y-Axis controls the level of layer B.
Sound: Morphs between different timbre settings. Turning the control fully to the left produces a neutral sound.
Cutoff: Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. Additional filter settings can be accessed using the + button next to the Cutoff control.
+ (Filter Panel): Opens the Filter panel that provides additional filter settings, including the filter type, resonance, and modulation. For more information, refer to Filter Panel.
Glide: Adjusts the duration of the glissando effect, which makes one pitch glide to the next when playing a second MIDI note at the same time. Glide will only take effect if Play Mode is set to Mono or Legato.
Play Mode: Selects one of three modes that determine the Instrument's response to MIDI input. Poly allows multiple notes to be played polyphonically. Mono only allows one monophonic note to be played at the same time. Legato only acquires new pitch information when playing a second MIDI note at the same time without starting a new note event.
Chord: Selects a chord to be played when pressing a single key. When Off is selected, keys trigger individual notes. You can open the drop-down menu by clicking on the name and selecting an entry from the list. Alternatively, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the previous or next entry, respectively.
Vol Envelope: Adjusts the Instrument's volume envelope, which consists of attack, decay, sustain, and release stages. You can adjust each envelope stage by clicking and dragging the individual segments in the display.
Chord Instruments
Instruments in the Chord category share the same set of parameters. Each sound consists of a musical chord, producing harmonic content not easily achieved with a single synthesizer voice.
The Main page consists of the following parameters:
Blend: Blends between different sound layers, which can be chords or voicings sharing the same fundamental, or sound variations. This parameter is controlled by the modulation wheel.
Sound: Morphs between different timbre settings. Turning the control fully to the left produces a neutral sound.
Cutoff: Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. Additional filter settings can be accessed using the + button next to the Cutoff control.
+ (Filter Panel): Opens the Filter panel that provides additional filter settings, including the filter type, resonance, and modulation. For more information, refer to Filter Panel.
Glide: Adjusts the duration of the glissando effect, which makes one pitch glide to the next when playing a second MIDI note at the same time. Glide will only take effect if Play Mode is set to Mono or Legato.
Play Mode: Selects one of three modes that determine the Instrument's response to MIDI input. Poly allows multiple notes to be played polyphonically. Mono only allows one monophonic note to be played at the same time. Legato only acquires new pitch information when playing a second MIDI note at the same time without starting a new note event.
Chord: Selects a chord to be played when pressing a single key. When Off is selected, keys trigger individual notes. You can open the drop-down menu by clicking on the name and selecting an entry from the list. Alternatively, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the previous or next entry, respectively.
Vol Envelope: Adjusts the Instrument's volume envelope, which consists of attack, decay, sustain, and release stages. You can adjust each envelope stage by clicking and dragging the individual segments in the display.
Filter Panel
The Filter panel provides additional filter settings, including the filter type, resonance, and modulation.
The panel consists of the following menus and parameters:
Filter Type: Selects either the Lowpass or Highpass filter type. When Lowpass is selected, frequency content above the cutoff frequency is attenuated. When Highpass is selected, frequency content below the cutoff frequency is attenuated.
Resonance: Adjusts the resonance amount of the filter. Turning the control to the right makes the frequency content at the cutoff frequency more pronounced.
Vel->Freq: Adjusts the amount of velocity sensitivity for the cutoff frequency. When set to 0, the cutoff frequency does not change depending on note velocity. When turning the control to the right, the cutoff frequency changes according to the note velocity to a variable degree.
Env Amount: Adjusts the amount of modulation applied from the the Filter Envelope to the cutoff frequency.
Filter Envelope: Adjusts the Instrument's filter envelope, which consists of attack, decay, sustain, and release stages. You can adjust each envelope stage by clicking and dragging the individual segments in the display.
