The Unofficial SynthV Studio User Manual

Given the absence of official and up-to-date documentation for Synthesizer V Studio, I’ve created this unofficial user manual.

It currently contains descriptions and screenshots of most features in SynthV Studio, though there’s still more to be added over the coming weeks.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or notice any incorrect information.

I’ve been a SynthV fan for a long time, but your dedication will always amaze me Claire :slight_smile:

I stopped making tutorials for SynthV when youtube deleted my content, how? why? I will never know.

Thanks Claire :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the work that’s gone into this! :+1:

I see that you’ve got a “Primary Parameter” and “Secondary Parameter” in the Parameters panel.

The help text in the UI refer to these as the “foreground” and “background” parameters. However, the UI widgets are labeled “Edit” and “Display”, indicating the which parameter can be edited with the tools, and which is display only.

To make things more confusing, these are called “Automation” in the API. :crazy_face:

Perhaps you could use the names they are given on the screen instead - “Edit Parameter” and “Display Parameter”.

The descriptions might then be:

The “Edit Parameter” is the bright set of control points/curve that can be edited with the parameter tools. The “Display Parameter” is the parameter displayed as a dim set of control points/curve. The “Edit Parameter” and “Display Automation” can be the same parameter.

Yeah that’s a good point. I think I’ll have to do a couple revisions to align on the “proper” terminology. I think I inadvertently did the same with “points” vs “nodes” so that section could do with a bit of cleanup (especially since “nodes” vs “notes” can be awkward for readability).

Technically the tools are also the “Multi-editing Tool” and “Freehand Tool” but in that case I changed it to “Pointer” and “Pencil” intentionally because I felt those terms would be more memorable and easy to understand from a new-user perspective. Not sure if I’ll revise the tool names for that reason, but I might change my mind later in an effort to be consistent with Dreamtonics’ naming :sweat_smile:.
