1) Introduction
What is GIDE?
GIDE is an acronym but I won't tell you what for ;)
I suppose it's a plucked string. Will that do?
2) Credits
Design and build and concept by Lee Stacey
DSP design by Lee Stacey, Chris Kerry and Jeff McClintock
Thanks and big ups to acid, Pha-Q, ricstr and Neko for their support in this project.
Extra thanks also to Kate and Amyleigh, my family.
Designed and built with Synthedit
3) GIDE is made in three parts, each part behaving as if it were in a chain of hardware devices.
The first part of the chain being the synth its self (Top left box). The filter is the semi circle to the right.The Chorus is the bottom left box.
4) Synth controls
Sus
This determines how long the note lasts (sustain)
Damp
Adds a damping effect to the sound (similar to palm mute)
Vol
Controls the overall volume
Chaos
Determines the amount of chaos (eh?)
Bri
Controls the brilliance of the synth
5) Filter controls
Cut
Filter cut off frequency
Res
Filter resonance
On/Off/Type
Obvious, no?
The bottom right button
Nothing to do with the filter, it selects the midi channel
6) Chorus controls
On/Off selector
Turns the chorus on or off respectively.
Depth
Controls the amount of detuning effect the chorus has on the synth.
Level

8) Warnings
This synth is capable of creating some outrageous noises, some of which may damage your ears, your audio system or nearby buildings. Firstly we accept no responsibility for any loss whatsoever to the aforementioned or anything else whether it be directly related to using GIDE or not.
Due to long sustain times high polyphony counts can occur, thought your host may only tell you the count is small, due to its internal structure the number of voices can be quite high. Your CPU will suffer if you are not careful
