Retrologue
Common Editing Methods
The envelopes and the LFOs can be used to modulate a large number of modulation
destinations, which are accessible in the modulation matrix. The matrix features 16
freely assignable modulations. For example, this allows you to create Note
Expression modulation assignments that can be addressed from within the
Steinberg DAW. To give the sounds the final polish, Retrologue provides an effect
section that features 6 insert effects in series. With the integrated arpeggiator and
step sequencer, you can create anything from sequencer lines to stepped chords.
The user interface of Retrologue is divided into 3 pages that give access to different
areas of the plug-in.
•
On the Synth page, you can find the parameters for the oscillators, the filter and
amp envelopes, the LFOs, and the modulation matrix.
The Arp page contains the arpeggiator.
The FX page allows you to edit the built-in effects and to set up the order in which
the effects are processed.
Common Editing Methods
Encoders and Sliders
Encoders and sliders can be unidirectional or bidirectional. Unidirectional values, for
example level values, start at a minimum value and go up to the maximum.
Bidirectional controls start from the middle position and go to the left for negative
and to the right for positive values.
Most of the editing methods are the same for encoders and sliders.

To switch between the pages, click the corresponding buttons in the plug-in
function section at the top of the window.
To adjust a value, click an encoder or a fader and drag up and down, or use
the mouse wheel.
If you press [Alt]/[Option] when clicking an encoder, a small fader appears,
allowing you to set the parameter.
To make fine adjustments, press [Shift] and move the encoder or use the
mouse wheel.
To restore the default value for a parameter, press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click
on the control.
