Tera pro - how to add or swap modules? [SOLVED]
_ „Tame this overwhelming amount of possibilities with Tera Pros intelligent user interface showing you only exactly what you need, paired with realtime oscilloscopes and level indicators helping you seeing what's going on. Connect the modules with a flexible routing method without the visual cluttering of real wire cables needed in conventional modular synthesisers.“_
i seem not to be intelligent enough to tame this… how do I add or swap modules in tera pro?
Comments
yeah, this is the only trick you have to master before taming...
Tera Pro only shows the modules which are really used to make the interface as clean as possible.
To insert a module not used yet you have to link it's output to a module you already have ( and see! ).
Let's assume you want to wire the new module to the mixer. Then tap on a one of the inputs of the Mixer module
and select the output of the module you want ( e.g. "Vocal Filter" ). At that moment the module appears on the interface and you can tweak it to your liking.
Ah, that makes sense… thank you!
This new routing scheme solves the one problem I had with the original Tera, endless scrolling back and forth on one large gui. Kudos!
How does one start with a blank slate and then add modules? Am I missing something completely obvious here? This should be drop dead simple and I have no idea how to do either.
The minimum amount of modules are two (Common & Amp), at least as far as I can see.
Is there an INIT patch that I’m not seeing? I’m still having a devil of a time trying to delete and add modules. I presume there is no ‘swipe’ or ‘double tap’ which makes the process simpler?
You don't directly add and delete modules exactly. You connect and disconnect them. When a module is connected to something it appears. When a module is no longer connected to anything it disappears.
You kind of have to think backwards. For instance, if you want another oscillator, go to an amp, filter, or something else that has inputs, and select the oscillator as the input from the drop-down. Now the oscillator will show up.
It seems really strange, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
The manual doesn't do a great job of specifically articulating this concept, but maybe with that background it'll make sense. https://www.virsyn.net/manuals/Tera Pro UM.pdf
To get an init patch, just create a new patch using the + button.
You get the init patch by pressing ‘+’ in the preset menu. This will get you a three oscillator, filter and amp configuration. By setting the amp input to (open) you get the configuration mentioned above. It’s a bit unintuitive at first but makes sense. You only see the modules that are actually in use as opposed to a typical modular synth.
I see. I was expecting I’d be able to add or delete modules in a way consistent with other modular synths (or even something like the MixBox model), which allows one to add, move and subtract elements in an intuitive way.
The inability to simply “plus” or “minus” away elements makes the process of building a patch extremely frustrating.
It's not that bad, just different. Essentially, you just focus on the connections, not the modules. "This input comes from that." And it's not really like a conventional modular synth, because the numbers of each module are fixed. You cannot have 10 oscs or 5 amps. It's more like a conventional fixed architecture synth, except that the connectivity is flexible. And the UI decides which modules you want to have visible.
It’s probably not as bad as I think it is, but it is not intuitive, nor is it user friendly.
Agreed, but it is also probably the only way to ensure there aren't a bunch of modules in a patch that aren't actually connected to anything, which would also cause a lot of confusion - as mentioned tho, could certainly have been explained a lot better in the manual
While I agree it's not intuitive at first, I beg to differ that it isn't user friendly. I find it very user friendly, less trouble to add and remove, and very efficient for connections. Once it clicked with me I could see how much sense it makes (while acknowledging that it's going to trip up just about every new user).
