FL Manual 24 PioZone Flashcards
FL STUDIO - PioZone
What is PioZone?
- 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
- 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.

MIDI learning features in PoiZone
- When you send a CC to PoiZone, it updates number and value of that CC.
- -Tweak any parameter (second display updates), send any CC (third display updates), push LINK button and last sent CC is linked to last tweaked parameter.
- –Or push UNLINK is you want last tweaked parameter to be not linked to any CC (then it will display [N/A] )

UNISON
- Set the number of unison voices from 1 to 16. 1 = No unison.
- -Unison is similar to chorus in that multiple copies of the final output sound are detuned and panned to create a thicker audio texture.

POLY
- Number of voices that will play with the current patch. 1 to 32 voices are available.
- -Select lower values to emulate monophonic analog synths with voice-stealing.

UNISON DETUNE
-The relative detuning of the unison voices. Higher levels creates a more discordant sound.

UNISON PAN
-The relative stereo panning of the unison voices. Higher levels create a wider stereo field.

OCT
- Even numbered UNISON voices are shifted up one octave.
- -It’s useful to create ‘human voice-like’ patches if a narrow bandpass filter is applied to the patch and UNISON is set to 2 with OCT on.

MIDI
- The MIDI section provides the ability to route a MIDI controller to a range of targets in PoiZone.
- -NOTE: In order to link your controller to specific MIDI CC values you will need to do this via your hosts plugin wrapper.

Cutoff of the filter frequency (pitch) of oscillator A.

LFO
- LFO amplitude.
- -Note that this is not LFO amount, it is the amplitude of the LFO.
- –For example, if your Mod Wheel is linked to LFO amplitude, and set your Mod Wheel to minimum, LFO will have zero amplitude and won’t do anything.
- —If you turn Mod Wheel to maximum the LFO will now have max amplitude.

LFO
- LFO is a ‘Low Frequency Oscillator’ that is an Oscillator that creates an output changes at a rate less than 30 Hz.
- -This generator is used to control parameters inside PoiZone to add motion or variability to sounds in order to make them more interesting or a ‘human’ feeling.
