VA1 Minimal User’s Guide

Synth Sections

The major sections of the instrument are accessed by tabs just above the on-screen keyboard. These tab contain the synthesis parameter controls. In the case that there is insufficient screen space to display all of the controls, the control space can be scrolled by touching a non-control portion of the screen and dragging the display up or down.

Synthesis Controls

Synthesis parameters in VA1 are manipulated by switches and sliders in the control space of each tab. Switches are activated (or selected) by tapping on them. Sliders are manipulated by tapping on the desired value or dragging the “handle”. Double-tapping on a slider will return it to it’s “nominal” value (often zero).
