has a varying dynamic range, you might,
depending on your goal, consider engaging the
Compressor in the Input Mixer to even it out.
TIP: The easiest way to
understand the eect of this
control is to do the following:
1. Do whatever your DAW requires to set
up ARTICULATOR Evo with a speaking or
singing voice as the Control Signal.
2. In the Input Mixer, set Audio Level to -inf
and Noise Level to a comfortable level.
3. Set the Formant Extraction controls as
appropriate for your Control Signal.
4. In the Output Mixer, set Control Signal
Level to -inf and Audio Signal level to a
comfortable level.
5. While playing the Control Track, vary the
Envelope Amount control from 0 to 100
and listen to the result.
To adjust the Envelope Amount, click on
the knob and move the cursor up to turn
the knob clockwise, or down to turn it
counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC)/Option (Pro
Tools) clicking on the knob will reset it to its

EQ SECTION
The EQ Section provides one band of
traditional parametric EQ for fine-tuning the
Audio Signal (as well as the Noise Generator
output, if used).
Frequency
This control selects the
frequency of the EQ (i.e., the
frequency that will either be
increased or decreased via
the Gain control). The range is
from 100Hz to 4000Hz.
To adjust Frequency, click
on the knob and move the cursor up to
turn the knob clockwise, or down to turn it
counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC)/Option (Pro
Tools) clicking on the knob will reset it to its
default value of 1500Hz.
Q
The Q control allows you to set
the slope (and, consequently,
the bandwidth) of the EQ’s peak
or dip. Its range is 0.10 to 3.10.
High Qs result steep slopes (and
narrow bandwidth), while lower
Qs result in more gentle slopes
(and wider bandwidth). (The
easiest way to understand this is to watch the
green EQ plot while adjusting the Q and Gain
controls. All will become clear.)
To adjust Q, click on the knob and move the
cursor up to turn the knob clockwise, or down
to turn it counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC)/Option (Pro
Tools) clicking on the knob will reset it to its
default value of 0.71.
Gain
The Gain control lets you set the
amount of boost or cut that will
be applied to the Audio Signal
at the selected Frequency.
The range is from -12.0dB to
+12.0dB.
To adjust Gain, click on
the knob and move the cursor up to turn
the knob clockwise, or down to turn it
counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC)/Option (Pro
Tools) clicking on the knob will reset it to its
default value of 0.0.
Bypass
The Bypass button
allows you to bypass
the eect of the EQ section. When the button
is red, EQ is bypassed. Click the button to
toggle its state.
