KiwiSynth

KiwiSynth is Kiwisonic's built-in synthesizer. Where the Electric Piano and the drum machines have a fixed sound, KiwiSynth is fully editable — and it ships with a library of ready-made presets, so you don't have to build a sound from scratch unless you want to.

Picking a preset

Open the instrument navigator (the instrument button in any melodic track editor) and look for entries named KiwiSynth — . Presets are organised by category — bass, lead, pad, keys, organ, strings, guitar, and more.

Selecting a preset loads its sound and leaves the editor closed. Presets are picked for their sound, so you can keep writing without being interrupted — open the editor later only if you want to tweak the patch.

Starting from scratch

The navigator also lists KiwiSynth — New synth: a blank engine with no preset loaded. Picking it opens the editor straight away, since a blank synth only makes sense once you start shaping it.

Editing a sound

Any KiwiSynth instrument can be edited. When a track is using KiwiSynth, a gear (⚙) button appears next to the instrument button — click it to open the KiwiSynth editor. Adjust the controls and play notes to hear the changes in real time, then close the window when you're done.

Your edits are saved with the project and attached to that track, so the sound comes back exactly as you left it next time you open the song. Each track keeps its own KiwiSynth state — editing one track's synth never changes another's.

Glide between notes is part of the preset rather than a separate switch: if you want portamento, choose a preset that has it (or set it up in the editor), and the synth follows the note overlap from your sequence automatically.
