Getting started with the Nymphes
2.1 Powering considerations
Even though the Nymphes is an analog synthesizer, it can be powered with a
simple USB cable. Giving the unit some extra mobility, you can just use a
power bank and play anywhere (with a 20.000 mAh power bank you could power and
play the unit for up to 55 hours).
Most households nowadays have at least a dozen or so USB cables and power
adapters available.
So, you’re thinking, “Can I use any USB power supply?”
Yes, but there are some things you need to take into consideration.
Not having a dedicated power adapter means that
depending on the USB power supply quality or your connection, could result in
a dirty synth and noise floor.
You can easily avoid those situations by following these simple rules:
– When you turn the Nymphes on, there is a burst of noise occurring. This is
normal but in order for this to happen, make sure you have the level of your
monitor/amp turned off.
– Power the Nymphes and all the devices connected to it, from the same mains
power line. You should specifically avoid using different mains. For example a
mains line for Nymphes and a different one for your amp/monitor that has an
internal protection circuit. This can produce a constant noise generation from
the output of the synthesizer, which can only be eliminated by resetting the
unit.
– When powering the Nymphes from a computer, if you use a DAW to work with the
MIDI CC documentation, a ground loop can be created, causing a noticeable hum.
In that case, you should power the Nymphes from a different power supply and
not from the same computer that you’re running the DAW on.
You can do that with the use of a USB data/power splitter.
– Using a very long USB cable can also cause line noise. For cleaner sounding
performance it is also better to use a USB cable that has a ferrite bead
installed.
– Make sure your USB power adapter is rated for at least 1A – Poor quality USB
power adapters should be avoided.
– Also have in mind – as mentioned before – when using a power bank, make sure
it’s a good quality one.
You can also power a keyboard controller with the same power bank.
Bad power supply (or cable) side effects
- May not boot Nymphes
- Lots of noise, abnormal sound elements
- Wobbly oscillators
- Firmware update may not work
If you have any of the above effects, replace your adapter and/or cable asap.
You should also avoid leaving the synth on power when you are not going to use
it for a long period of time (and that should be a rule for every
electrical/electronic device) for various reasons.
The most important reasons are:
- Expanded life circle
- Protection of the environment

Programming the Nymphes
The Basics of How a Synth works
You can find a lot of information on this topic all over the internet, but here are at least a few of the basic concepts that might help you understand this synth a bit more.
The oscillator serves as the source for the basic noise or sound in a synthesizer. The tone of that sound depends on the shape of the wave produced by the oscillator. Classic-style analog synthesizers usually offer a similar list of waveforms, and the Nymphes as well offer all the usual suspects: saw, square, pulse, and triangle. After a synthesizer’s waveform produces a tone, it is usually sent to the filter.
The filter does exactly that: it lets you filter out or remove harmonics from the basic waveform, making the tone brighter or duller depending on how the filter is set. Another feature of some filters is resonance or Q. This accents the harmonics near the filter cutoff frequency, providing that classic squelchy and squeaky quality that synths are so well known for. After the filter, a synth usually sends the signal to the amplification section.
The amplification section of a synth is the part that controls the amplitude or how loud the sound is. Usually, the amplification of the tone is controlled by a 4-step envelope that provides an attack phase, a decay phase, a sustain phase (where the amplitude is held constant), and a decay phase, where the amplitude drops to zero after the sustain phase. This attack, decay, sustain, and release envelope is frequently referred to as an ADSR envelope.
The last key piece of the synth puzzle is the modulation. A modulator is simply something (a source) that modulates, changes, or controls something else (a destination). In the case of a synthesizer, usually, there is a low- frequency oscillator (LFO) or an envelope generator (EG) that can be used to modulate another parameter or value on the synthesizer. For example, you can create vibrato by using an LFO to slightly change the oscillator pitch in a cyclic way. You could also use an LFO to modulate the filter cutoff value to create an auto-wah effect, alternately changing how bright or dull a tone is. The possibilities are almost endless and that is what makes programming synths such an interesting activity.
The SHIFT Button
Though there are only 14 sliders on the Nymphes, by using just the SHIFT button with those 14 sliders, you can easily access 28 parameters for controlling and programming the synth. When the SHIFT button is lit, the 14 labels on top of the sliders describe the parameter that each slider controls.
When the SHIFT button is not lit (off), then the 14 labels underneath the sliders describe what each of the 14 sliders control
You can either temporarily press the SHIFT button, and it will light up, or you can quickly double-click the shift button, and it will stay lit. Again, it’s important to remember, as long as the SHIFT button is lit, the sliders will control the parameters labeled at the top.
Oscillator
The 10 available settings in the oscillator section are controlled with the 5 sliders and the shift button. Most importantly, these settings let you program the shape, the tuning/pitch, and the amplitude of the oscillator waveform and sub-oscillator.
WAVE (slider 1) – the oscillator waveform control lets you select the shape of the continuously variable waveform, morphing between sawtooth, square, and triangle shapes.
LVL (slider 2) – the level control lets you set the amplitude or loudness of the oscillator waveform.
SUB (slider 3) – the sub-oscillato r control lets you add a square wave, pitched one octave below the pitch of the oscillator waveform
NOISE (slider 4) – the noise source control lets you add white noise mixed with the main oscillator and sub-oscillator.
LFO (slider 5) – the low-frequency oscillator control sets how much LFO 1
modulates the pitch of the waveform.
This can be used to create just a subtle vibrato to more extreme sound
effects.
PW (shift-slider 1) – the pulse-width control lets you adjust the pulse- width of the pulse or square wave, changing the characteristics of the sound. Modulating the PW with an LFO can produce a slightly-detuned sound that Nick from Sonic State loves. As long as there is some pulse wave selected, the pulse width can be adjusted. When the waveshape is strictly a saw wave or a triangle, changing the pulse width has no effect. Modulating the PW requires the use of LFO2
GLD (shift-slider 2) – the glide control (also referred to as portamento) lets you set the glide rate between successively played notes. Glide is fixed- rate, not a fixed-time, and polyphonic. Whether the glide reacts to legato playing or not is set through the menu. See the MENU MAP for how to change the legato setting. On the polyphony, note that glide is heavily dependent on the number of voices, and whether there is a free available voice or not.
DTN (shift-slider 3) – the detune control lets you detune the intervals between notes, from a slight effect to a dramatic. The detune can be used in any of the various polyphonic or unison modes, creating some incredibly thick- sounding notes.
CHORD (shift-slider 4) – the chord control lets you use the slider to choose different predefined chords that can be programmed via the MENU function. On POLY and MONO modes, this has no effect
EG (shift-slider 5) – the envelope generator control lets you program how much the filter envelope modulates the pitch of the oscillator. Important to note, envelopes are unipolar.
Filter ****
The Nymphes has a 24db lowpass (LP), a resonant filter that feeds into a 6db High Pass (HP), non-resonant filter. The 6 available settings in the filter section are controlled with the 3 sliders and the shift button. These 6 settings let you program parameters for both filters like cutoff and resonance, as well as modulations like key tracking, envelope, and LFO.
CUT (slider 6) – the filter cutoff control lets you set the cutoff frequency of the LP filter. The frequency range is from 32,7 Hz up to 16.744 Hz
RES (slider 7) – the filter resonance control lets you set the amount of resonance, also sometimes referred to as Q. At its max setting it will self oscillate.
EG (slider 8) – filter envelope generator (EG) control lets you set how much the filter envelope modulates the filter cutoff 8
HPF (shift-slider 6) – the high-pass filter control lets you set the frequency cutoff for the high-pass filter. Note, the HPF is routed in series after the LPF, giving you a band-pass effect.
TRACK (shift-slider 7) – the filter key tracking control lets you set how much the filter frequency cutoff follows the keys. When the slider is all the way up, the filter cutoff will track to the oscillator pitch at a 1:1 ratio (the cutoff will increase 1 octave for every octave the pitch of the note increases).
LFO (shift-slider 8) – the low-frequency oscillator control sets how much
the LFO 1 modulates the filter frequency cutoff.
Playing only with the filter as a source: Set up the Oscillator LVL, SUB, and
NOISE to 0% and then on the filter :
CUT = 0%, RES= 100%, EG=0%, HPF=0%, TRACK=100%, LFO= 0% .
This will allow for the filter to be in perfect tune and matched with the
oscillator’s frequency.
Envelope
The 8 available settings in the envelope section are controlled with the 4 sliders and the shift button (discussed later in the manual, these controls can also be used to program the reverb effect). The sliders allow you to shape the envelope generator or EG for modulating both the filter cutoff and the amplitude or volume of output.
Filter Cutoff and Pitch Envelope
A (slider 9) – the attack control sets how fast or how slow the envelope rises
to its peak filter cutoff value.
D (slider 10) – the decay control sets how fast or how slow the envelope drops
from its peak value filter cutoff value to its sustain value.
S (slider 11) – the sustain control lets you set the level filter cutoff to
sustain value.
R (slider 12) – the release control lets you set how fast or how slow the
envelope drops from the filter cutoff sustain value to a zero value, totally
closing the filter cutoff.
Amplitude Envelope
A (shift-slider 9) – the attack control sets how fast or how slow the
amplitude envelope rises to its peak value.
D (shift-slider 10) – the decay control sets how fast or how slow the
amplitude envelope drops from its peak value to the value the envelope will
sustain at.
S (shift-slider 11) – the sustain control lets you set the amplitude
envelope’s sustain value.
R (shift-slider 12) – the release control determines how fast or how slow the
envelope drops from the amplitude sustain value to value of zero.
LFO
The Nymphes has 2 Low-Frequency Oscillators or LFO’s referred to as LFO1 and
LFO2.
Both are bipolar and can be used to modulate various parameters on the synth.
LFO 1 is polyphonic and can only modulate 1) the frequency or pitch of the
oscillator and 2)
the filter cutoff. LFO 2 is monophonic but can be programmed as a modulation
source for 24 different destinations.
Both LFO 1 and 2 have four different rate settings accessed through the MENU,
and both can be set to 1) low, 2) high, 3) track (where the rate is determined
by key tracking), and 4) BPM (where the rate can sync to the midi clock).
Lastly, KEY SYNC can be switched on or off for both LFOs. When the Rate is set
to BPM, but no clock is sent, it automatically works on low rate mode.
RATE (slider 13) – the LFO frequency rate control sets the LFO 1
frequency or how fast it will cycle.
WAVE (slider 14) – the LFO wave shape control lets you select the wave
shape for LFO1.
Unlike the Nymphes oscillator waveforms that are continuously variable, the
LFO waveforms are five discreet (individual) waveforms including 1) triangle,
2) saw/ramp down, 3) saw/ramp up, 4) square and 5) random (sample-and-hold).
DELAY (shift-slider 13) – the LFO amplitude delay control lets you set an
amount of time or delay before the LFO amplitude increases.
FADE (shift-slider 14) – the LFO amplitude fade control lets you set an
amount of time or delay before the LFO 1 amplitude fades out. If the FADE
setting is zero, the amount of LFO modulation will remain constant.
TIP! One-Shot LFO: If the DELAY slider is set to zero and the FADE slider
is set to full ( or all the way up) then the LFO will only cycle one time, and
can also be used like a secondary envelope-shaped by the LFO waveform.
Notes about modulation
The Nymphes offers a respectable selection of modulation options, letting you
manipulate and modulate the sound in various ways. Some of the modulation
sources are not assignable, meaning they are already assigned to certain
modulation destinations.
For example, both LFO 1 and the filter envelope are already routed to the
oscillator pitch and the filter cutoff, and cannot be assigned to any other
destinations. Only the amount of the modulation can be changed by the user.
Fortunately, there are other modulation sources that offer more flexibility
and can be assigned to a large list of destinations.
How to set up the assignable modulation sources is discussed in “5. Menu
Accessible Parameters” below in the user guide.
Saving and Loading
Loading a patch
The Nymphes has 49 factory preset patches and 49 user patches. Each of the 49 storage locations, A1 through G7 can contain both a factory preset patch or a user patch. How to load either a preset or user patch is described below.
To load a patch, simply run through the following steps:
- Press the LOAD button which will then slowly blink.
- With the SHIFT button lit, turn the rotary selector to choose bank A through G. If you are already in the bank you want, you can skip this step.
- With the SHIFT button off (not lit), turn the rotary selector to the desired patch number 1 through 7.
- For this last step, it’s important to understand you have 2 options:
a. If you quickly click the LOAD button, it will rapidly blink, and a user patch will be loaded or
b. If you press and hold the LOAD button until it starts rapidly blinking, a factory preset patch will be loaded
Tips:
– You can quickly reload your current preset by double-clicking the load
button
– If you switch to a different preset than the one you are already at, the
LOAD button will start blinking at a different interval.
Saving a patch
To save a user patch in any of the 49 storage locations, just follow these steps.
- While holding SHIFT, press the SAVE button which will start flashing after being pressed.
- With the SHIFT button lit, turn the rotary selector to choose bank A through G. If you are already in the bank where you want to store your patch, you can skip this step.
- Next, turn off the SHIFT button (it should be unlit), and turn the rotary switch to your desired patch location 1 – 7.
- Finally, press the SAVE button which will flash, showing your patch is now saved.
Tips:
- You can quickly save your current preset by clicking SHIFT+SAVE and then SAVE again.
- If you switch to a different preset than the one you are already at, the SAVE button will start blinking at a different interval.
- Save and Load have a different LED blinking pattern
Menu Accessible Parameters
The menu section lets you access parameters and settings that help you further:
- program your patches and
- configure how the Nymphes operate.
To access any of the menu items, just press the MENU button, which will light up, and using the rotary selector, choose numbers 1 through 7. When you’re finished editing whatever menu option, just press the MENU button again to return to normal operation.
Play MODE (MENU item 1)
MODE Submenu # | Polyphony | Oscillators per Note | |
---|---|---|---|
POLY | 6 | 1 | |
UNI A | 2 | 1 | 6 |
UNI B I | 3 | 1 | 4 |
TRI | 4 | 3 | 2 |
DUO | 5 | 2 | 3 |
MONO | 6 | 1 | 1 |
This option lets you set how many oscillators will sound with each note, which will overall affect the polyphony as well. See the table below that describes each mode.
CHORD Edit Mode
Also accessed under the MODE submenu is the CHORD option (submenu item 7). With any of the four unison play modes (UNI A, UNI B, TRI, and DUO), this submenu option lets you program 7 different chords that are stored with the patch and can be changed with the CHORD slider (shift-slider 4). The slider accesses the 7 chords from lowest to highest, meaning when the slider is all the way down, chord EDIT 1 is playing, and as you push the slider up, it will select the next chord sequentially (EDIT 2, then EDIT 3, etc) until the slider is all the way up, and chord EDIT 7 is playing.
Programming Chords
Programming chords is fairly easy, though a bit lengthy, and naturally starts
with a click of the MENU button:
- Press the MENU button, which will light up.
- With the rotary switch, select option 1, PLAY MODE.
- Press the MENU button again, which will begin to blink.
- With the rotary switch, select option 7, CHORD EDIT.
- Press the MENU button again (which will blink faster still), and the EDIT 7 chord will begin to play automatically.
- Select the chord EDIT number you want to program, and simply play the chord, which is automatically saved.
- Select any other chord EDIT numbers, program the chords you want, and hit the MENU button to return to normal operation when you’re done.
An interesting thing to try: Adding some interesting possibilities, the CHORD selection slider (shift-slider 4) can be a modulation destination, letting you sequence through the chords using a modulation source, like the mod wheel or an LFO.
LFO 2 (MENU item 2)
This option lets you program the parameters of a second low-frequency oscillator, LFO 2, as a modulation source, and also link LFO 2 to multiple modulation destinations and set the modulation amounts. To link one of the slider parameters as a modulation destination, just move the slider for the parameter. You may have to use the SHIFT button in combination to alternate parameters a slider can control.
REVERB (MENU item 3)
This lets you activate the 4 ADSR sliders to program the reverb for the Nymphes. Using just these four sliders you can:
- Adjust the reverb space (SIZE) with slider 9.
- Adjust the decay of the reverb (DEC) with slider 10.
- Set the amount of a lowpass filter (FILT) with slider 11.
- Adjust the mix of dry and wet signal (MIX) with slider 12.
MOD W (MENU item 4)
This lets you use the modulation wheel to modulate any of the 28 slider parameters. As a quick tip, by linking the mod wheel to the oscillator LFO (slider 5) using a triangle wave, you can manually add vibrato to the sound.
VELO (MENU item 5)
This lets you use keyboard velocity (how hard you strike a note on a keyboard) to modulate any of the 28 slider parameters, assuming your keyboard controller has velocity-sensitive keys.
AFTER (MENU item 6)
This lets you use keyboard aftertouch to modulate any of the 28 slider parameters.
MIDI C (MENU item 7)
This option lets you set the midi channel the Nymphes will respond to. Press the MENU button to access the menu options. Select 7 with the rotary switch. Press the MENU button a second time to access the sub-menu (the MENU button will flash after the second press). Use the rotary switch to select 1 through 7 representing midi channels 1 through 7, and then press the MENU button again to exit.
The Four Assignable Modulation Sources
The four modulation sources accessed through the MENU (LFO 2, MOD W, VEL, and AFTER) are all set up and assigned to mod destinations in a similar way.
With the exception of LFO 2 (which cannot modulate the LFO 1 parameters), all the parameter values controlled by the sliders can be set as modulation destinations. LFO 2 can modulate 24 destinations linked to the parameters controlled by the first 12 sliders. The modulation wheel (MOD W), velocity (VEL), and aftertouch (AFTER) can each modulate any of the 28 destinations linked to the parameters controlled by the 14 sliders. It can get quite extreme, where you could modulate every slider parameter value with a modulation source if you really wanted to.
Assigning Modulations
To assign any of the four modulation sources to any of the destinations, you
merely need to:
- Press the MENU button, which will remain lit.
- With the rotary selector, select numbers 2, 4, 5, or 6, to select either the LFO 2, mod wheel (MOD W), velocity (VEL), or aftertouch (AFTER) as the modulation source.
- Select the modulation destination or destinations by moving the sliders for the parameters you want to be modulated, where the position of the slider determines the amount of modulation. If the slider is all the way up, the modulation amount will be 100%. If the slider is halfway up, the modulation amount will be 50%. If the slider is all the way down, the modulation is 0% or basically turned off.
- Press the MENU button to exit, the MENU light will go off, and the Nymphes is now back in normal operation.
Canceling Modulations
An easy way to cancel all modulation destinations for a given modulation
source is to:
- Press the MENU button,
- Select the mod source with the rotary selector, and then
- Press and hold the MENU button for one second.
- The MENU button light will go out, and any mod destinations for that mod source are now reset or turned off (see the MENU MAP for more details on this).
Modulation Behavior
An important point to note is when modulating a parameter, with the exception
of the LFO’s, the modulation amount from the source is added to the current
destination parameter setting. For example, if the programmed amplitude of the
oscillator is already maximum (the LVL setting), then you can’t use the
modulation wheel (MOD W) to increase the value anymore. It is already at its
maximum. You would first need to reduce the oscillator level setting (LVL), so
using the modulation wheel would have room to add value to the parameter and
control the increase in amplitude.
For LFO2 though, modulations will be added in a mixing method. That means that the slider value sets the starting point and then LFO 2 is mixed in there. If the LFO2 amount is at max, the slider value will have no effect.
We strongly suggest you experiment with modulations and the way they are
added, especially with LFO2, as
we consider it one of the strongest morphing points that Nymphes has to offer.
Global Settings
The global settings offer six more parameters that affect the Nymphes’ operation. These are the only parameters that are saved outside of the normal patch settings. See the MENU MAP for a graphic description of the steps outlined below.
To access the Global Settings:
- Press the MENU button, which will light
- Select option 7 (MIDI CHANNELS)
- With SHIFT lit, press the MENU button again, which will start flashing slowly
- With the rotary switch, select options 1 through 6 to access to the various Global Settings
- With either the LFO RATE slider (slider 13) or the LFO WAVE slider (slider 14), adjust the settings as desired.
The list of Global Settings
