# tildearrow Sound Unit instrument editor
|
|
|
|
this instrument editor has two tabs.
|
|
|
|
## Sound Unit
|
|
|
|
for sample settings, see [the Sample instrument editor](sample.md).
|
|
|
|
the differences are:
|
|
- the lack of an "Use wavetable" option
|
|
- the presence of a "Use sample" one
|
|
- the presence of a "**Switch roles of frequency and phase reset timer**" option. when enabled, this writes frequency to the phase reset timer register rather than the frequency register
|
|
- this may be used to create sync-like effects.
|
|
|
|
## Macros
|
|
|
|
- **Volume**: volume sequence.
|
|
- **Arpeggio**: pitch sequence.
|
|
- **Duty/Noise**: waveform duty cycle sequence.
|
|
- **Waveform**: select waveform.
|
|
- `0`: pulse wave
|
|
- `1`: sawtooth
|
|
- `2`: sine wave
|
|
- `3`: triangle wave
|
|
- `4`: noise
|
|
- `5`: periodic noise
|
|
- `6`: XOR sine
|
|
- `7`: XOR triangle
|
|
- **Panning**: stereo panning sequence.
|
|
- **Pitch**: fine pitch.
|
|
- **Phase Reset**: trigger restart of waveform.
|
|
- **Cutoff**: set filter cutoff.
|
|
- **Resonance**: set filter resonance.
|
|
- values that are too high may distort the output!
|
|
- **Control**: filter parameter/ring mod sequence.
|
|
- **band pass**: a band-pass filter. cutoff determines which part of the sound is heard (from bass to treble).
|
|
- **high pass**: a high-pass filter. higher cutoff values result in a less "bassy" sound.
|
|
- **low pass**: a low-pass filter. the lower the cutoff, the darker the sound.
|
|
- **ring mod**: enable ring modulation with previous channel.
|
|
- note: square wave goes from 0 to volume, so in that case it acts more like amplitude modulation.
|
|
- **Phase Reset Timer**: sets the phase reset timer.
|
|
- if the "Switch roles of frequency and phase reset timer" option in the Sound Unit tab is enabled, this macro controls the frequency register instead.
