PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [294/307] Interface

The virtual keyboard lets you easily click to play notes or manipulate the Pitch and Mod wheels, while auditioning or editing

patches when you're away from a MIDI keyboard. The keyboard display also shows you which notes are currently being

played.

Note that for a more playable keyboard experience when away from your MIDI controller, you can also use Studio One's

QWERTY Keyboard Device to play notes using your computer's keyboard.

Next to the virtual keyboard is the Bend parameter, which lets you set the pitch bend range of the Pitch wheel, in

semitones.

Mojito

Mojito is a simple, monophonic, subtractive synthesizer with effects that is capable of generating a wide range of sounds. It

models a classic analog synthesizer and features a low-aliasing oscillator and a 24 dB filter emulation. Mojito can generate

killer bass sounds, lead sounds, and special effects.

Interface

Mojito is organized into Oscillator (OSC), Amplifier (AMP), Filter (FLT), and FX sections, with easy-to-use, yet powerful

controls.

Oscillator

Mojito’s Oscillator section is on the upper left of the plug-in window. Here you can set up the harmonic content of the sound

source. The basic controls are the three large knobs on top: Pitch, Wave, and Width.

Pitch Adjusts the frequency from one octave below to one octave above the played note. Note that this affects

the cutoff frequency only via key tracking. Pitch is modified by the pitch-bend wheel (± 2 semitones).

Wave Selects between a sawtooth wave and a pulse wave. These two waveforms have a rich and regular har-

monic content, making them classic sources for subtractive synthesis. Sawtooth waves contain the fundamental

and all harmonics whereas pulse waves have only the fundamental and odd harmonics. Mixed settings effectively

adjust the level of the even harmonics.

Width Adjusts the pulse width of the pulse wave from almost zero to square. This adjusts the balance between

the fundamental and the higher and lower harmonics.

Below the three main OSC controls is a smaller row of knobs that adjust how much the oscillator settings are modulated.

The speed of the modulation is adjusted using the LFO Speed controls, located to the right of these knobs. The LFO can

be synced to tempo or it can oscillate with a freely adjustable period. Use the modulators to create chorus-like or string-like

sounds, vibrato, and other familiar modulated sounds.
