morph slider is positioned. If the morph slider is to the far left or right, only the left or
right end-points are affected. If the morph is centered, both end-points will change
by an equal amount. Morph can be controlled with MIDI and automated, allowing
you to use it both for performance

(e.g. for dramatic build-ups)

and for editing

(e.g.

exploring semi-random parameter settings)

.

Programs

The morph data, all patterns and global parameters together constitutes a

Pro-

gram. There are 16 programs in memory which you can instantly activate from MIDI

or the user-interface at any given time without interrupting audio. These 16 pro-
grams are collectively known as the

Program Bank, and it corresponds to the pro-

gram bank accessible in VST hosts. By default, when you open a new instance of

Microtonic

, the last used 16 programs will be reloaded automatically.

(This behavior

can be changed with the

Preferences Dialog

.)

User Interface

The main window of

Microtonic

is divided into four main sections. At the top, you

have the

Top Section with the Sound Morph, Preset Browser and Channel Con-

trol. Below you will find the Drum Patch Section where the drum patch parameters
of the currently selected channel are visible. At the bottom, you have the

Pattern

Section and the Global Section

(including the master volume control of

Micro-

tonic

)
