The Side Panels in Detail

This page covers any information about the side panels that does not fit on a different page, or links to the appropriate page for the relevant feature.

The Voice Panel

Singer Selection

Current Database
See Singer Selection
Load/Save Presets
Allows saving the current Voice panel settings as a preset. This includes Vocal Modes, default parameter values, and default transition/vibrato settings.
Voice presets are specific to the voice database, so to use a preset for a different singer you must first select the original singer the preset was saved for, load the preset, and then switch to the desired other singer.

Synthesis Engine

Show animated rendering status
Highlight the waveform below each note to indicate rendering progress.
Show character image (if found)
Displays the character or brand image for a voice database in the piano roll, if one exists. The image used is based on the background.png file in the voice database's installation directory.
Image Transparency

Rendering

Background Threads
The maximum number of concurrent threads to be used during live rendering.

Pro Feature - Synthezier V Studio Basic is limited to 2 background rendering threads.

Playback Buffer Size and Engine Sample Rate
Audio settings for the live rendering engine. Actual output will use the settings in the Audio section if standalone, or the DAW's audio settings if run as a plugin.
Final rendered output will use the settings in the Render panel (see Saving the Audio).
Power Management
Limits performance to conserve battery or reduce system load. "Max Performance" will result in the highest system load, but perform faster. "Power Save" will run slower but consume less battery and be less demanding on system hardware.

Keyboard

Allows a hotkey to be assigned to any option accessible via the top menus, or a script.
