3. BASIC WORKFLOWS
The following key features facilitate the STRAYLIGHT workflow:
• Main Navigation: Selects between the five main pages; Perform, Grain, Sample, Effects, and
Master.
• Perform page: The XY pad at the centre of the Performer page works as the key interaction
for shaping the sound. The main change in the character of the sound will take place using the
XY pad. This page also hosts four Macros that provide quick access to control and change the
assigned parameters. For more information, refer to Perform Page Overview.
• Grain page: The Grain page covers all parameters related to playback within the Grain engine.
The lower area has separate navigation, displaying either Send FX, Macros or Modulation. For
more information, refer to Grain Page.
• Sample page: The Sample page covers all parameters related to playback within the Sample
engine. For more information, refer to Sample Page.
• Effects page: The Effects page contains a flexible FX chain for both the Grain engine and
Sample engine, with a large XY Pad in the middle for mapping effects parameters. For more
information, refer to Effects Page
• Master page: The Master page allows for mapping of MIDI CCs to the XY Pad and includes a
third effects chain which affects the combined Grain and Sample layers. For more information,
refer to Master Page.
• Macros: The lower area has a separate navigation, displaying either Send FX, Macros or Mod-
ulation. For more information, refer to Macros Pane
• Random: The Random icon is located in the header sections of both the Grain and Sample
pages. When the icon is pressed, random values are set for all applicable parameters.
3.1. Saving and Loading Snapshots
Snapshots are your own personalized user presets, which you can save and recall at a later time.
Once you have assigned your Macro controls and adjusted your settings, you can save your
sound.
The Snapshot menu is displayed by clicking on the camera icon.
To save a Snapshot as you are working on it:
1. Click the Save button. The Save button is represented by a floppy disk icon. This will open a
standard Save dialog which will allow you to save your .nksn file in the User Snapshot Li-
brary.
2. Name your new Snapshot and click ‘Save’.
3. Once the Snapshot.nksn file is saved into User Snapshots folder, it will appear in the Snap-
shot browser accessed by clicking on the name above the five navigation tabs.

To load a Snapshot:
1. Click the arrow next to the Snapshot name field
2. Select ‘User’ and browse the menu for your Snapshot.
3. Once clicked, the Snapshot will be loaded.

3.2. Using Browsers
STRAYLIGHT offers three individual browsers to directly search for Snapshots, Grain Source pre-
sets and Sample Source presets. In each of these browsers you can limit the search in the Results
list by selecting tags from several sound categories. Besides limiting the search, you can also
mark presets as favorites and filter by favorites in the Results list.
In this section you are provided with an overview of the browser and you will learn how to work
with the browser.
The designs and workflows of the individual browsers are identical. The overview
and workflows are written globally.
3.2.1. Opening and Closing Browsers
To open a browser:
• Click on the Snapshot name, or on the Grain Source label, or on the Sample Source label on
the pages.
The corresponding browser opens.
To close a browser:
• Click on the cross icon at the top left to close the browser.
3.2.2. Browser Overview
Each of the browsers contain the following elements:
Basic Workflows

• Select the tag(s) in the sound category of your choice.
Selected tags are highlighted, and items in the Results list are limited accordingly. You can
also multi-select tags within or across sound categories to further refine your search.
Preserved Tag Settings
After closing the browsers, STRAYLIGHT preserves the tag settings for each browser. After exiting
a browser, its tag settings are also reflected in the corresponding next preset and previous buttons
within the headers. The next preset and previous buttons indicate if they step through all available
items (Snapshots or presets) or if a filtered search is in use:
• If there are no tags selected in the browser, the next preset and previous buttons appear as
open brackets:
• If any tags have been selected, the Results list contains filtered items, the next preset and pre-
vious buttons appear as filled triangles:
3.2.4. Snapshots – Sound Types and Tags
This section gives you an overview of the sound types and a brief explanation of the tags you can
use to limit your search for Snapshots in the Snapshot browser.
STRAYLIGHT Snapshots are often designed to cover a wide range of the sonic spectrum, mean-
ing that they can cover a whole movie scene but have to be thinned out to work in a fuller musical
arrangement. Thinning can easily be achieved by disabling one of the layers and/or applying the
High/Low Pass filters, which are setup up on the Macros A and B for the majority of the presets.
Often the character of the sounds can widely be controlled by the number of notes played and the
octave range where you play them. STRAYLIGHT is very sensitive to the voicing. Wide chords
with few notes will often give you better results than a common, narrow keyspacing, which you
might use to play a standard piano patch.
Types
The sound type Types contains the following tags:
• Atmospheres: The sound is best played using a single note or just a few notes. Try octaves in
the lower register and one or two additional notes in the higher range. Atmospheres can also
be atonal or noisy soundscapes and are often more complex than pads.
• Pads: Sounds playable much like a typical polyphonic synthesizer. Not as “complex” as the At-
mosphere category but more suitable in typical arrangements with other instruments.
• Lead: Sounds which can function as lead sounds in a higher octave range.
• Transistion / Risers: The sound contains a spectral transition or movement, which is either
scanned through automatically synced to the host clock or the transition is the main parameter
on the XY pad allowing realtime control of the spectral change.
• Keys: The sound is based on keyboard instruments like pianos and organs.

13.6. Gater
The Gater controls the volume of a sound with the help of two step sequencers. This can be used
to rhythmically chop the signal and make it stutter or sound staccato. The Gater has two individual
rhythms A and B which you can crossfade using the applied modulation source.
The Gater effect can only be used once in STRAYLIGHT.
Gater effect.
(1) Modulation Connector: Selects the modulation source to be applied to the parameter.
(2) Presets: Selects a preset for the Gater effect.
(3) Rhythm A and B: Switches between the rhythms A and B.
(4) Stepping area: Adjust the steps for the selected rhythm by dragging the bars up or down.
(5) Context menu: With the options in this menu you can, for example, copy or swap the rhythms
from A to B.
(6) Division of musical timing: Determines how fast the Gater is stepping forward. You can se-
lect from 1/4 to 1/ 64 of a beat.
(7) Size: Determines how many steps the Gater provides. You can select between 2 to 32 steps.
13.7. Mod
The Mod (Modulation) effect modifies the sound in certain ways. Depending on the selected effect
mode, the effect can, for example, "thicken" the sound or split the audio signal up and delays one
version in relation to the original signal. The available effect modes with all parameters are ex-
plained in more detail below.
