Utility Section 55

5 Utility Section

The utility section is located at the top of the String Studio VS interface and it includes important

parameters and monitoring tools. For information on Banks and Programs please refer to Chapter 3.

5.1 The MIDI LED

The MIDI LED is located on the left of the level-meter. The LED blinks when the synthesizer

receives MIDI signal. If the application is not receiving MIDI signal, make sure that the host

sequencer is sending MIDI to String Studio VS. If you are running in standalone mode, make sure

that the MIDI controller you wish to use is well connected to your computer and that it is selected

as explained in Section 6.

Clicking on the MIDI button just below the MIDI led opens the MIDI conﬁguration pop-up

window from which one can adjust parameters such as the pitch bend range, enable bank and

program changes and manage the MIDI map used by String Studio VS as explained in Chapter 6

5.2 Tuning

The Tune control, located to the right of the MIDI LED, is used to transpose the frequency of the

keyboard. This control is composed of two numbers separated by a dot. The ﬁrst number indicates

a value in semi-tones while the second one indicates a value in cents (one hundredth of a semi-

tone). The amount of transposition can be adjusted by click-dragging upward or downward on the

semi-tone and cent controls. Double clicking on these controls brings back their value to zero.

When the value of the Tune parameters is set to 0.00, the frequency of notes are calculated relative

to A4 440Hz.

An interesting feature of String Studio VS is that it can be tuned using different temperaments

using Scala micro-tuning ﬁles. Temperament ﬁles are loaded by clicking on the Tune button which

opens the Tuning pop-up window and displays the list of available tuning temperament ﬁles avail-

able. By default, String Studio VS is set to Equal Temperament but other temperament ﬁles can be

added to the list by copying them to the following folders:

On Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Applied Acoustics Systems/Scala

Tunings/ On Windows:

These folders can be displayed directly from String Studio VS by clicking on the Show Tuning

Files button at the bottom of the Tuning pop-up window.
