3. NEW FEATURE REFERENCE

COLOR-CODED INTERFACE
All Symphobia programs now have a color-coded interface. Each of the main Symphobia sections has its
own unique color.
String Ensemble / Solo String Ensemble
Brass Ensemble
Woodwind Ensemble
String + Brass Ensemble / Full Orchestra
Dystopia / Ethnic Flute Phrases / Other

ADSR CONTROLS
Symphobia 1.1 offers Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release control right from the interface. Notice that the
Settings button in Symphobia 1.0 has been replaced by a drop-down menu in Symphobia 1.1 (bottom-right
corner of the interface). Open the drop-down menu and select ADSR page to access the new controls.
The ADSR fields show absolute values in
milliseconds. By adjusting a knob, all values
for that knob will be updated. Release
trigger groups are ignored, to allow you to
adjust the ADSR of a sustain without
destroying its release trigger.
Programs that hold groups with completely
different ADSR values, such as Keyswitches
and Modswitches, do not have the ADSR
control page.

MODWHEEL SWITCHES
In Symphobia 1.1 you will find an additional program folder called 4 Modswitches. Programs in this folder
allow you to instantly switch between different articulations using the Modulation Wheel, similar to a
Keyswitch program where articulations are switched by pressing keys. The interface program window
shows you which articulations are available. Each of these articulations is mapped to a specific region of
the 0-127 range of the Modwheel. If four articulations are shown in the interface, the Modwheel range is
divided into 4 regions. Modwheel switch programs are available for all main sections in Symphobia 1.1.
Modswitch example with four articulations available:

Pizzicato
Modwheel up/down

Staccato

Marcato

Sustain
