Channel Strip
Basic controls in the Hollywood Orchestrator, like volume, pan, etc., are linked to their
respective controls in the Mix and Play pages of Opus. For instance, if the volume fader
is moved, the corresponding volume control in the Mix page (and Play page) will move
accordingly.
• The
VOLUME fader adjusts the volume of the instrument’s master output, without
affecting the relative mix of the microphone sub-mixer channels. The audio meter
displays the signal of the stereo output in real-time.
• The PAN knob adjusts the volume of the left and right audio signal to change the
perceived position of the sound source, while preserving the relative panning of the
individual microphones. Use the Pan knob to define the position in the stereo image,
or for special effect.
• When enabled, the MUTE (M) button silences the audio output for the selected
instrument, and the SOLO (S) button silences the audio outputs for all instruments that
are not currently soloed.
• Each instrument’s REVERB SEND controls the amount of signal sent to the Convolution
Reverb, which is global effect that applies to all instrument within a single instance
of Opus.
• The OUTPUT defaults to ‘Opus 1 & 2’ in the Output channel field. To assign an
instrument to a stereo output other than the default, click in the field and select
another stereo output. This option allows you to send the stereo outputs of each loaded
instrument to separate audio tracks in your system’s sound card. In stand alone
mode, up to 8 stereo output pairs are available, and in plugin mode, up to 16 stereo
output pairs are available. Go to the Preferences / Audio Engine / Output Configura-
tion to change the standalone and plugin output configuration.
Global Effects
The global effects controls in the Hollywood Orchestrator are linked to their respective
controls in the Mix page of Opus, and all instruments within a single instance of Opus
are routed through them.
PLEASE NOTE: Changes made in the Mixer page of Opus are not carried over to the
Hollywood Orchestrator, and will not be saved within the preset data. Only changes
made within the Mixer view of Hollywood Orchestrator are saved with the preset.
• 3-BAND EQUALIZER uses the Equalizer effect described in the Mix chapter.
• CONVOLUTION REVERB uses the Convolution Reverb effect described in the Mix chapter.
By default, the reverb is routed to output on ‘Opus 1 & 2’.
