2 2 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Rhythm Studio is a workspace style app with a studio of realistic electronic music instruments. It is a universal app available on all current ios hardware. Rhythm Studio balances advanced features by using an easy to understand interface resembling real instruments. This means that one button does one thing just like it would with real hardware. Knobs turn, switches slide, and buttons press. You won t get lost in abstract interfaces or design. This allows you to jump right into making electronic music. INSTRUMENTS ST-1 - Sample Tone One Synthesizer TB-3 - Transistor Bass Three Synthesizer DR-8 - Digital Rhythm Eight Drum Machine DR-9 - Digital Rhythm Nine Drum Machine Hornet - Subtractive Ribbon Synthesizer Gemini - Two Oscillator Subtractive Synthesizer Phoenix - Supersaw Synthesizer OTHER Control Pad Mixer with integrated Send & Insert FX CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 2 QUICK START GUIDE 3 SONG BROWSER 4 SETTINGS 5 CONNECTIVITY 6 WORKSPACE 7 MAKING A SONG 9 12 ST-1 12 TB-3 13 HORNET 14 GEMINI 15 PHOENIX 16 DR-8 17 DR-9 18 Control Pad 19 Mixer 20 Effects 21 APPENDIX 22 ABOUT & CONTRIBUTORS 23 OTHER FEATURES Background Audio - Now you can exit Rhythm Studio and open another audio app such as a synthesizer to play along. WIST - Allows you to wirelessly sync-start between two WIST compatible apps on two ipads and/or iphones located near each other. IMPORTANT! Rhythm Studio automatically saves your song file every time you exit the workspace and enter the browser. Make sure you use the autosave feature to back up your song before exiting the app or removing it from the multitasking list. IMPORTANT! To enable Rhythm Studio to run on the iphone 3G, the visual experience may be different than higher resolution devices such as the ipad. This is mostly evident in the browser screen where the textured background has been replaced by a solid color. This necessary optimization was due to the memory constraints of the 3G iphone. The audio experience is the same on all ios hardware. SUPPORT Please contact us at: info@pulsecodeinc.com

12 12 Sample Tone One Monophonic Digital Synthesizer WRITING A PATTERN 1. Use the PATTERN STEP left and right buttons to select step. 2. Tap note or The ST-1 is a simple synthesizer which plays back preset sounds. Each sound is sample based. To add variation to the sounds, a brightness control and amplifier envelope can be used to change the timbre and shape. The ST-1 has a 3 octave range. Notes can be triggered, sustained and accented. Each preset sound is represented by a number on the left side of the LCD screen. See Appendix for list of available sounds. CONTROLS 3. Tap SUSTAIN to play the previous note for more than 1 pattern step. 4. Tap ACCENT to accentuate the sound on that step. NOTE: Activating ACCENT will disable a SUSTAIN.

13 13 Transistor Bass Three Monophonic Virtual Analog Synth WRITING A PATTERN 1. Use the NEXT and BACK buttons to select step. 2. Tap note. The TB-3 is an emulation of the classic 303 analog synthesizer. TB-3 is an optimized version of our DB-303 app. TB-3 has a single oscillator that can produce either a square wave or a saw wave. The unique waveforms created by the TB-3 are unlike any true saw and square and they represent what the real hardware waveforms look and sound like. In addition to closely modeling the oscillator, we have modeled the filter and filter envelope to sound and behave like the real thing. 3. Once the note is active on the step, you can choose which octave and if accent or slide is applied. The TB-3 can create that true acid sound that so many other synthesizers try to mimic. CONTROLS Selects oscillation waveform Tunes oscillator in octave increments Modifies the shape of the filter envelope Changes cut off frequency of filter Strengthen accented notes Emphasizes the cut off frequency Lengthens the decay of the filter envelope

14 14 Hornet Monophonic Virtual Analog Ribbon Synth WRITING A PATTERN 1. Use the NEXT and BACK buttons to select step. 2. Tap note. The Hornet Ribbon synthesizer uses a capacitive keyboard that you can slide your finger across. The Hornet synth was designed to have a lot of character and be fun and easy to use. VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) There is a single oscillator which outputs a saw, square and triangle waveform at the same time. This enables you to mix in any amount of each waveform to create harmonically rich sounds. In addition to the three waveforms, there is a noise source and an octave control. VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) The filter changes the timbre of the sound. The filter cut off can be modified by the VCF envelope generator and LFO. EG (Envelope Generator) There are two envelope generators dedicated to both the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) and VCF. LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) The LFO can be used to create rhythmic patterns in your sound. The LFO output controls the oscillator pitch, the filter cut off, or both. Keyboard The capacitive keyboard can be used to program notes in the sequencer. By changing the GLIDE control, you can slide from one note to another very smoothly. 3. Once the note is active on the step, you can choose which octave and if intensity or sustain is applied. CONTROLS VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) SAW - Changes loudness of saw waveform SQR - Changes loudness of square waveform TRI - Changes loudness of triangle waveform NOISE - Changes loudness of noise generator OCTAVE - Changes frequency of oscillator VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) CUTOFF - Changes the cut off frequency of the filter PEAK - Emphasizes the cut off frequency EG (Envelope Generator) VCA - Changes the decay of the amplifer envelope VCF - Changes the attack and decay of the filter envelope LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) RATE - Changes the speed of the LFO INT. - Changes the intensity of the LFO amount TARGET - Specifies what parameters the LFO is applied to WAVE - Specifies what waveform the LFO generates Keyboard GLIDE - Changes how fast notes from the keyboard transition from one to another SEQUENCER DOWN - Makes the selected note play one octave down UP - Makes the selected note play one octave up SUSTAIN - Disables the EGs on that step INT. - Modifies the LFO intensity to create character

23 ABOUT PULSE CODE CONTRIBUTORS 23 APPENDIX Pulse Code consists of two members. Twin brothers Billy Iturzaeta the graphics and audio designer, and Louie Iturzaeta who does the programming. Pulse Code is a labor of love for us. We work on apps in our free time while still juggling careers and families. Pulse Code started in 2005 with the homebrew project PSP Rhythm on the Sony PSP. PSP Rhythm started out as a simple drum machine and synthesizer. Over the next few years, PSP Rhythm developed into a full music production application. In 2008 Pulse Code officially began with the development of BtBx on the ios platform. BtBx is a groove box that is easy to use and get great results. The TB-303 sound is dear to our hearts having witnessed entire genres of music dedicated to the synth. Naturally, our love for the TB-303 lead us to develop DB-303, a direct emulation of the classic, with the look and sound of the real thing. After developing a number of apps for the ios platform, we have learned a great deal. All of this knowledge and experience has materialized in our flagship application, Rhythm Studio. Rhythm Studio takes our love of vintage synths and drum machines and has turned it into a virtual studio for all levels of music lovers. Red-Eye (Kris Giampa) produces, remixes, creates samples for electronic music, runs the record label Red Session Records and is also a professional Senior Sound Designer in the video game industry working at one of the top game companies in the world. He has been producing music since the mid 1990 s and been working in the video game industry since the late 90 s. Facebook: Red-Eye Twitter: Kris Giampa Twitter (Sound Design): Red Session Records: With headquarters in Orange County, CA, Pulse Code creates inventive musical applications for the ios platform. The professional team at Pulse Code is passionate about electronic music and the instruments that create it. Their goal is to spread this appreciation to new and inspired minds. Pulse Code would like to thank our families and friends for their support of this project. We would also like thank the PSP homebrew audio development community and the users of PSP Rhythm.
