1 Overview

Chromasonic

is a soundskin that turns your Soundart Chameleon multi-

purpose DSP hardware into a professional audio multi-effects processor. Once

Chromasonic is loaded by MIDI, the Chameleon behaves in exactly the same

way as any other multi-effects unit.

1.1 Main features

You can run up to three stereo effects at any one time, and chain them

together in a wide variety of ways. You can choose from:

 Two Tap Delay

 5 Band Parametric Equalizer

 Compressor

 Limiter

 Noise Gate

 Tremolo

 Chorus

 Flanger

 Phaser

 Reverb (here you are restricted to only one instance at any time

because it is the most sophisticated and DSP hungry of the effects)

 Autopanner

 WahWah

 4-voice Pitch Shifter

Cha

ter

Chromasonic User’s Manual

You will also find the following features:

 Extensive signal routing capabilities

 Flexible system parameters configuration

 Tempo Sync (internal, external and tap) for the time based effects

 128 user presets to store effect combinations permanently

 Factory bank with 64 presets included

 Compare preset function for checking what the stored preset

sounds like in comparison to the one you have arrived at while

editing

 Comprehensive MIDI implementation allowing you to modify

parameters using external MIDI controllers, record parameter

changes using a sequencer, and make/receive SYSEX dumps that

store your own presets and configurations

 You can assign any of the Chameleon front panel Realtime

controller pots to control virtually any internal parameter for hands

on control and performance duties

 You can assign the standard MIDI Expression Controller (number

11) to virtually any effect parameter

 Signal meters - Input, Output and Gain Reduction (gain reduction

meters only show when you are using the relevant effects - a

Compressor, a Limiter, or a Gate - in one of the three FX Slots)

1.2 Sound Architecture

BASIC DESCRIPTION

BASIC DESCRIPTIONBASIC DESCRIPTION

BASIC DESCRIPTION

Chromasonic

ChromasonicChromasonic

Chromasonic can really be considered to consist of three separate effect units

that are linked together in order into a string of processors (FX1, FX2 and

FX3). They each receive mono signal inputs and generate stereo signal

outputs once they have done their thing. The exact configuration of these

three FX Slots is quite flexible and allows for a wide variety of routing

options, and you can mix the effects back with the original unprocessed

sound along the way.

As you work along the chain from FX1 > FX2 > FX3, you have more and more

input options for each FX Slot.

THE ROUTING WORKS LIKE THIS

THE ROUTING WORKS LIKE THISTHE ROUTING WORKS LIKE THIS

THE ROUTING WORKS LIKE THIS

At the start of this chain, the mono input for FX1 can only be selected from

the Chameleon physical audio inputs - either L, R or L+R (which means the

Left and Right signals are summed together). You can control the volume of

this input.

FX2 and FX 3 can receive their input in the same way. But they can also be

set to receive signals from the output of any preceding FX Slot in the chain

instead. That is to say, FX2 can also be set to receive processed signals from

FX1, while FX 3 can also receive processed signals from FX1 or from FX2.

Once each FX Slot has ‘done its thing’ you can mix the processed signal back

in with the input signal it receives, by adjusting the slots own ‘Dry/Wet mix’.

From here this stereo processed and mixed signal can then be sent on

towards the output.

MIXING FOR THE OUTPUT

MIXING FOR THE OUTPUTMIXING FOR THE OUTPUT

MIXING FOR THE OUTPUT

By adjusting the final Left and Right output levels that come from each FX

Slot you can balance the three signals together on their way to the main

output, both in terms of volume and stereo position.

But before the sounds leave the Chameleon, you have one last mixing

option. If you think again for a moment of the mix of the three FX Slots as

one whole processed signal, you can mix this back in with the original signal

(the ‘Dry Source’). This is the ‘Global Dry/Wet mix’.

EXAMPLES AND DIAGRAMS

EXAMPLES AND DIAGRAMSEXAMPLES AND DIAGRAMS

EXAMPLES AND DIAGRAMS

So as you can imagine it is possible to configure Chromasonic to run three

different FX side by side, each taking the input signal, processing it and

sending it to the output. Or you might configure it so that each FX Slot

receives its signals directly from the previous one, adding more and more

Chromasonic User’s Manual

layers of effects as it passes through the three FX Slots until FX3 sends it to

the output. (This would be achieved by turning down to zero the output

signals of FX1 and FX2 that are sent to the main output mix, but setting the

inputs of FX2 and FX3 to ‘listen’ to the previous effect in the chain).

You could even configure it so that Chromasonic runs two mono effects

totally independently - one type of effect over the left input signal and

another over the right signal. This is because you have separate control over

the left and right outputs for each FX Slot.

There is, of course, a whole world of mixing subtleties in between. The next

figure shows a block diagram of the audio signal path inside Chromasonic as

described above.

You can see that the three FX Slots are essentially identical, except that FX2

and FX3 have more and more input options.

On the right of the FX Slots you can see first the three signals being mixed

together, and then this mix being balanced with the original Dry Source by

the Global Dry/Wet mix just before the main output.

The very last thing in the chain, the Master Volume, is controlled directly

from the Volume knob on the front panel of the Chameleon, as you might

expect.

1.3 Getting Started

This section explains how to get started with Chromasonic for the first time.

1.3.1

1.3.11.3.1

1.3.1

Making the connections

Making the connectionsMaking the connections

Making the connections

In order to start using Chromasonic, you need first to have the Chameleon

unit properly connected if you haven’t already done so. Make sure that you

have the Chameleon power supply (9V DC/1.2A) plugged to the device and

connected to the AC mains. The following figure shows the Chameleon rear

panel connections.

Before connecting the Chameleon to other units in your system, for safety

ensure that the power to all units is off.

There are no real surprises here: to get sounds into Chromasonic connect

your sound source outputs (amplifier, mixer aux bus sends, etc.) to the

Chameleon audio inputs. To hear the results, now connect audio cables from

the left and right Chameleon outputs to a suitable amplifier or mixing desk

(line level inputs), or use your headphones using the front panel jack.

You also need to connect your MIDI sequencer to the Chameleon so that it

can send and receive MIDI data. The MIDI OUT of your sequencer should be

connected to the MIDI IN of the Chameleon, and the MIDI OUT of the

Chameleon should be connected to the MIDI IN of your sequencer.

Once all connections are made, turn on the power of the Chameleon and all

the other devices in your system.

Loading the soundskin

The Chromasonic soundskin is contained into a MIDI file called

‘Chromasonic_vX.X.mid’ (where ‘X.X’ is the current version number of the

soundskin). Like any other Chameleon soundskin, when you load

Chromasonic you will wipe clean the memory of the Chameleon and use it

for this new soundskin instead. So you have to first make sure you have

saved your personal settings and user data stored in the soundskin you are

about to replace with Chromasonic. You can save it by making a quick MIDI

SYSEX dump.

When you have loaded the latest Chromasonic, you can still reload again

your old Chromasonic presets previously backed up by MIDI. The new

software version will update the preset formatting of your presets if

necessary.

Once the soundskin is loaded, it is ready to use and you can treat the

Chameleon as if it was a regular multi-effects unit. By default, the soundskin

comes loaded with the Factory presets bank, which provide a range of ready-

to-use FX to choose from and are useful starting points for editing your own

presets. Play around with these to take a quick overview of Chromasonic.

Remember you can tweak many parameters straight away with the Realtime

controllers on the front panel.

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: Factory presets can be edited, modified and overwritten like any other

preset, so all 128 available presets are considered as “user” presets and

there are not the so called “ROM presets”. So be careful how and where you

save. However, don’t worry about overwriting the Factory presets

permanently. If you think you have made a total mess of everything the

factory bank can be reloaded at any time.

However, the factory bank reload command will reset ALL the factory

presets. So if you change one, and like it and save it, then change another,

save it, but don’t like it, if you want to return to the factory bank you will

lose both. So an idea might be that when you make an interesting preset by

adapting something from the factory bank, to always save it to an empty

slot if you have one free. That way you retain the flexibility of being able to

return to the factory bank at any time without too much pain…

Of course you could just as well overwrite the factory bank completely if you

create something better. You could even save a MIDI dump of your presets

and swap them with the other members of the Chameleon community via

the forum on our website - http://www.soundart-hot.com.

THE NAVIGATION AND CONTROL BUTTONS

The following diagram highlights the main buttons and knobs used for

controlling Chromasonic. These are referred to throughout this manual. The

only controller not magnified here is the BIG DIAL on the left of the Realtime

controllers, in the centre.

Operating Modes

2.1 Preset Mode

Preset Mode is for selecting from the bank of 128 presets. A Chromasonic

preset is a combination of FX settings, routings and other such parameter

values stored in memory. When you switch on the Chameleon with

Chromasonic loaded, it automatically defaults to this Preset Mode. (the

default start-up preset number can be selected from the System Mode).

From here you can enter the other modes easily.

2.1.1

2.1.12.1.1

2.1.1

The Main Display

The Main DisplayThe Main Display

The Main Display

In Preset Mode, the LCD display will show information about the currently

loaded preset, as showed in the following picture.

Here’s a detailed list of what you see.

The upper line:

 The upper line first displays the number of the currently selected

preset, which represents the memory location. This number will

blink if the preset is “dirtied” in any way - that is, the preset is

somehow changed in relation to what is stored in the memory and

it has not yet been saved. This can happen via MIDI, by moving an

assigned front panel Realtime controller, or by editing something

while in Edit Mode.

So if you change preset without first saving what you have edited,

you will lose all the changes you may have made. Equally, if you

have ended up with an effects set up you don’t like and want to

return to the saved preset, simply use VALUE UP/DOWN to change

to another a preset and back again to reload the original preset

from memory again.

 You can then see the name of the selected preset beside the small

arrow in the upper line, which was assigned when the preset was

stored.

 In between the name and number, the small animated arrow will

change its shape to a circular MIDI symbol whenever some MIDI

data is received through the Chameleon MIDI input.

Chromasonic User’s Manual

The lower line:

 The lower line first shows all the active signal meters on the left.

The first meter is the stereo input signal. It shows the Input Level

after it has been attenuated by the Input Level control, a global

control you find in the System Menu. (You can also control the

global input using the Realtime controllers - see page 31).

Next to this there are the Gain Reduction meters. For each

dynamics effect loaded, there’s a small gain reduction meter,

which is displayed as a slim bar which expands downwards as gain

reduction increases. Up to three Gain Reduction meters can be

shown at a time side by side, one for each FX Slot. When no

dynamics effect is loaded into an FX Slot, its corresponding Gain

Reduction meter will remain blank.

Next is the Stereo Output signal meters, which display the stereo

output level before it goes through the Master Volume control on

the front panel. So if you turn down the Volume, the meters will

still show the output signal generated by the FX Slots.

 Following the signal meters section, the name of the effect loaded

in each of the slots is displayed. Each effect is represented by its

slot number followed by a three-character abbreviation. The

different possibilities are listed below. Routing status is not

displayed here.

 Finally, on the right of the lower line, the current potentiometer

group (Pot Group) number is indicated, from 1 to 4. You can

change this with the PART UP/DOWN buttons. To explain - there

are the three physical Realtime controller potentiometers (or

‘pots’) that you can assign to internal parameters, and you can

configure up to four sets of these pots, and cycle between them

controlling up to 12 parameters - hence Pot Groups.

So the Pot Group number helps you know what you are doing with

the Realtime controllers over on the right of the front panel. See

Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 to know more about Realtime controllers

and Pot Groups.

By using the keys VALUE UP and VALUE DOWN or the BIG DIAL, you can

navigate through the bank of stored presets.

When you hold a key or move the BIG DIAL, the three character effects

abbreviations on the lower line of the display will blink indicating that you

are changing the current preset but that the new one has not been loaded

yet. When you release the key or the BIG DIAL, the word will stop blinking

indicating that the new preset has been loaded. This all takes place quite

quickly.

Note that it is possible to ‘lock’ the BIG DIAL in System Mode to avoid

accidental Preset changes in a live situation (see tables on section 2.3). You

would then only be able to change preset using VALUE UP or DOWN. (This

way you don’t worry about looking like a fool as you are tweaking the

Realtime controllers and the effect preset suddenly changes…!)

The LED lights above the Realtime controllers will be lit if they are assigned

to control anything. (Remember to note the active Pot Group).

This mode allows you to “go inside” the current preset and modify all the

parameters. As you leave Edit Mode by pressing EDIT again, you will be given

the option to save what you have been doing (see section 2.2.6 for more

information on saving your edits).

As in Preset Mode, (where the number blinks) you can easily see if the

preset has been modified from the original stored in memory. In Edit Mode

this is indicated by the LED next to the EDIT key blinking instead.

As well showing you the menus and parameters of the preset, the screen

also displays at all times the Input and Gain Reduction signal meters and the

Pot Group indicator. However in Edit Mode they have moved about a little

from where they were in Preset Mode:

 The MIDI input activity icon has moved slightly to the left it is

shown at the very left side of the upper line.

 the current Pot Group number is now shown on the right of the

upper line.

 We have put the Gain Reduction meters next to this on the right

hand side of the upper line. Remember that they are active only if

you are using a dynamics effect in one of the three FX Slots.

 The Stereo Input meter has not moved it is still displayed where it

was before, on the left side of the lower line. Note that the output

meter is not displayed in Edit Mode.

Chromasonic User’s Manual

NAVIGATION

NAVIGATIONNAVIGATION

NAVIGATION

Navigating this mode is quite easy, with parameters grouped together into

logical menus, which you can browse through to access and modify

parameters. The LCD display always tells you where you are as you navigate.

You move around with the three pairs of keys named GROUP UP/DOWN,

PAGE UP/DOWN, and PARAM UP/DOWN. You actually adjust things using the

final pair VALUE UP/DOWN and/or the BIG DIAL.

In Edit Mode, the menus have the following structure:

 GROUP

GROUPGROUP

GROUP (GROUP UP and GROUP DOWN keys)

The group buttons move you between the three slots FX 1, FX 2, FX

3 and a small set of COMMON mixing parameters. The name of the

current group is shown in the upper left line of the Display.

 PAGE

PAGEPAGE

PAGE (PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys)

For each of the Slots FX 1, FX 2 and FX 3 these keys move you

between two areas - the ‘routing’ configuration area (for choosing

how the signals flow through the FX Slot) or the effect ‘parameters’

editing area (for changing the set up of the effect itself).

In the COMMON ‘page’ these buttons do nothing as there is only

one ‘page’.

 PARAMETER

PARAMETERPARAMETER

PARAMETER (PARAM UP and PARAM DOWN keys) The name of the

current parameter is shown in the lower line of the Display,

aligned to the left.

These controls will generally take you through the list of

parameters available for editing in the particular page you have

navigated to. There is only one subtle exception to this:

If you have chosen to enter the PARAMS page of an FX Slot, so that

you can set up the effect itself, the first parameter you can edit is

the type of effect you want to use for that slot. For instance this

might be REVERB.

Then, as you press PARAM UP, you will travel through the list of

REVERB parameters available.

The thing to note is: if you travel back down to the bottom of the

list (using PARAM DOWN) and change the effect type to something

else, e.g. DELAY, as you go back up the list again you will see a

different set of parameters that now correspond to the new effect

that you have loaded.

In this sense the PARAM list is dynamic here, as it changes

according to what effect type you select.

Operating Modes

For clarity, we have laid out all the menus that you navigate

through in the tables below, with additional descriptions. The first

table shows the whole structure of EDIT MODE, and the following

subtables show more specifically the different parameters you find

for each effect type once it is loaded, and a brief description for

each effect.

This is actually a lot of words to describe something that is quite

intuitive once you have used it even very briefly!

 VALUE

VALUEVALUE

VALUE (VALUE UP and VALUE DOWN keys and/or BIG DIAL)

All the other buttons described above are for navigating around the

software. With VALUE UP/DOWN and/or the BIG DIAL you actually

change the value of something. The current state of the parameter

you have navigated to is shown between animated brackets on the

lower line of the Display.

So for example, if we show you again the figure we showed at the start of

this section, you can see that:

the GROUP is “FX1”

the PAGE is “Reverb” (as we are in the effects editing area)

the reverb effect PARAMETER is “Type”

the VALUE is “Hall”, and with the VALUE UP/DOWN buttons and/or the

BIG DIAL you could choose between “Room”, “Stage”, “Plate”…

Over the following pages we have laid out all the parameters, which show

the menu structure clearly.

Reverb Spatial effects such as Halls as Rooms

Delay Multiple echo type effects

ParamEQ For boosting and cutting certain frequencies

Compressor For controlling dynamics, commonly used for “pulling

down” the loudest part of a sound

Limiter A heavy for of compression for “flattening” a signal

and avoid its level to exceed a threshold

Gate

If the signal level falls below a certain point, the

signal is cut completely. Commonly used for making

the quietest passages completely silent to cut out

unwanted noise

Tremolo Modulates the signal volume at a specified speed

and depth, producing a “wobbling” sound

Chorus

Adds one or several voices each with a slight

variation of pitch and delay, creating a double voice

effect

Flanger

Similar to the Chorus, but with very short delays, and

feedback to create a sound with a swirling frequency

pattern

Phaser

It uses an allpass filter to shift the phase of the input

signal whose output is mixed with the original. It

also uses feedback, producing a “whooshing” sound
