Control Elements
Using D-Pole’s controls is simple. There are two types: dials and switches.
Dials
To set a value, click on the dial, hold down the mouse button and drag around the dial
in a circle
w
The greater the radius, the finer the value resolution.
Switches
In D-Pole switches are represented by “LEDs”. If a function is active, its “LED” will be
lit and all others within the function block will be dark. To activate a function, click on
its “LED” or the function title next to the “LED”.
Help
If you click on the D-Pole logo, a help window appears where all D-Pole parameters
are explained in short. This does not replace the user manual but you can use it as a
quick reference.
Technical Hints
The combination D-Pole/Audio sequencer software is subject to certain system limi-
tations: Data is transferred between D-Pole and the audio software in the form of
data blocks. Block size and transfer speed depend on a number of factors, e.g. hard-
ware type and ASIO driver used, as well as processor speed and current proces-
sor/system workload. Under certain circumstances (slow data transfer) fast value
changes might therefore result in noticeable clicks in the audio signal. If this hap-
pens, please try to avoid extreme value changes, if possible.
As they are scaled by the sample rate, the D-Pole parameters Filter Cutoff, Sample
Rate, Osc Frequency and LFO Speed do have different maximum frequencies, de-
pending on the currently set sample rate. Therefore the maximum values stated in
this manual are only approximate figures. This does of course not impede functiona-
lity, as the value ranges for all sample rates represent the possible limits.
