Using Chromaphone 3 is easy. First, you can start by exploring the factory library which has a wide range of sounds created by top designers. Just open the new browser and use the organizational views to quickly find the sound you want. For customizing the sound, use the four performance macros per layer. You can assign them to user - defined MIDI controls for real - time changes in modulation, timbre, envelope, and effects. When it comes to the two - voice multitimbral feature, you can stack or split the independent timbres to create unique and rich sounds. If you have Chromaphone 2 sounds, simply copy the banks into Chromaphone 3's packs folder. As for the multi - effects module, play around with the reverb, equalizer, compressor, tremolo, and guitar amplifier processors. You can also rearrange the five effect slots as you like. Note that when using microtonal tunings, make sure to use the Scala scale file format or set the reference note frequency properly. To maintain the best performance, keep your software updated. And if you're using expansion packs, make sure they are from reliable sources.
