In the Editor tab, you’ll find the real meat of Chromaphone 3. The A Layer (turquoise) and B layer (red) offer the same controls, accessed by clicking the Synth tab under either one. Here, Layer A’s Synth tab offers controls for (l-r) LFO, Env, Noise, Mallet, Mixer, and the two resonators that define the character of the layer. Currently, Layer A is set to a pairing of a Closed Tube and Open Tube. You get global control over each layer at the top, so you don’t have to tab back over.
