Receive. Dave Smith Instruments TETR4

Host

Host function allows you to send programs to the VST patch list. Select a Program you wish to save. Click

HOST. You will be presented with a dialog indicating the current host VST program selected. While this dialog is open, click on the VST patch list and select the slot you wish to save the Tetra program to. Click OK. Go back to the VST patch list and click on the same slot and the patch will appear.

Send

The Send button presents two options:

• Current Preset - sends the preset that is loaded on the editor panel.

• FX Bank Preset - sends the unmodified current VST patch to the Tetra, allowing you to reset the patch if you return to the beginning of the song and need to undo any changes that automation may have made to the sound.

Receive

The Recv (Receive) button gets the currently selected Program from the Tetra.

WRITE

The WRITE button opens a dialog box that allows you to send the current Program to the Tetra and to be

written into memory. You can also use this window to change the name before saving by right clicking on the name. Additionally, you may save the current Program to a different location. The Program that is active when the WRITE button is pressed appears at the top of the window. You may then select a different Bank and

Program location using the Bank buttons.

PIANO

The PIANO button displays keyboard within the Editor window.

It features Pitchbend and Modulation wheels, a drop down menu to select velocity of notes played from this keyboard and a small keyboard overview that you can click to change the range of the viewable keys. The keyboard window may be dragged (with the bar across its top) up and down to reveal different areas of the editor if your viewing area is limited. You may also resize the main Editor window vertically to show entire editor screen and the keyboard at the same time, as shown below.
