Common D16 Group Phoscyon 2 Bass Line Synthesizer Plug-in Instrument Questions
How do I sync Phoscyon 2 to my DAW's tempo and start playing via MIDI?
Ensure your DAW is sending MIDI clock and start/stop messages, then in Phoscyon 2's global settings, set "Sync Mode" to "Host" and configure your MIDI input device. You may also need to activate "External Start" in the sequencer section.
Where are the Phoscyon 2 preset and pattern files located, and how can I back them up?
Phoscyon 2 saves presets and patterns in a dedicated folder, usually located within your user documents directory under 'D16 Group' -> 'Phoscyon 2'. Copy this entire 'Phoscyon 2' folder to back up your data.
How do I create a new pattern, and quickly edit its steps within Phoscyon 2?
Click the '+' button on the sequencer display to create a new pattern, then use the step buttons to activate/deactivate notes. Adjust pitch, accent, and slide directly with the dedicated knobs for each step on the main panel.
Why is Phoscyon 2 not making any sound, even though MIDI notes are being received?
First, check that the 'Volume' knob isn't muted and the 'Gate' switch is enabled in the 'Global' section. Also ensure the filter cutoff is not set to zero, as this can silence the output.
What are the key differences between Phoscyon 2 and the original Phoscyon, besides the user interface overhaul?
Phoscyon 2 introduces a vastly improved sound engine with enhanced frequency response and dynamic range, more modulation options like the "ENV Follower" and "Sub Oscillator", and new sequencer features like pattern randomization and advanced probability options per step.
