Q

FL STUDIO - PioZone
What is PioZone?

A
  • PoiZone is a subtractive software synthesizer designed to bring you professional quality results, without a learning curve that hinders your creativity.
  • -The concept behind PoiZone was to design a synthesizer that had a great sound derived from the smallest number of controls, without sacrificing flexibility and features.
  • –Non-essential controls were ruthlessly removed so what remains is a user interface where every knob counts.

Last tweaked parameter

A
  • Displaying last tweaked parameter.
  • -Name - value - label [CC number assigned]. [N/A] means no CC is assigned.
  • –When PoiZone is opened for the first time, there will be no values (— —- —), meaning that no CC has been touched.
  • —As soon as you tweak something the value updates. CC (Continuous Controller) data is MIDI data used to communicate between hardware/software controllers and Poizone.
  • —-128 different continuous controllers can transmit values between 0-127. CCs are commonly used for things like MIDI controlling volume (#7), pan (#10), data slider position (#6), mod wheel (#1) or other user-assigned parameters.

FL STUDIO - PioZone - Oscillators Oscillators
- Oscillators are the basic sound sources of a synthesizer, PoiZone has 2 Oscillators (A and B) and one 'Noise' source. - -Oscillators A and B generate SAW or PULSE shapes that can be futher modified. - --All Oscillator modulations are applied to OSC A, so that OSC A is a carrier and OSC B is a modulator for RM and SYNC operations (as described below). - ---OSC B always generates an unmodulated sound - for example, this is why OSC B has controls for pitch while OSC A does not. - ----These features together with 'Unison' in the Master Controls section and the Effects Section allow PoiZone to quickly and easily create thick, lush textures or cutting leads.
59
FL STUDIO - PioZone - Oscillators BALANCE
-The knobs in the 'BALANCE' section are used to mix between Oscillator A, B and the Noise source.

61
FL STUDIO - PioZone - Oscillators BALANCE NOISE
-The output of the OSC knob is then sent to the NOISE mixer, fully left is 100% Oscillators and 0% NOISE, fully right is 100% NOISE and 12 O?clock is a 50% mix of the Oscillators and the Noise source.
62
FL STUDIO - PioZone - Oscillators OSCILLATOR A PW

99
FL STUDIO - PioZone - Effects CHORUS
- The Chorus effect results from the interaction of several copies of the original sound that are detuned by a very small and constantly variable amount. - -It is called 'Chorus' because it can make a single voice sound like that of a chorus of singers (all slightly out of tune relative to each other) to create a thick and lush texture. - --The Chorus in PoiZone does not have delay time control, rather delay time is modulated with the main LFO, so it varies from zero to "depth" in range. With rate at which the pitch variations occur is controlled by "rate" knob.
