Chapter 10 Modulation eects 209
Ringshifter delay parameters
The eect signal is routed through a delay, following the oscillator.
Delay parameters
•
Time knob and eld: Rotate to set the delay time—in Hz when running freely, or in note values,
including triplet and dotted notes, when the Sync button is selected.
•
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the delay to the host application tempo. You can choose
musical note values with the Time knob.
•
Level knob and eld: Rotate to set the level of the delay added to the ring-modulated or
frequency-shifted signal. A Level value of 0 passes the eect signal directly to the output
(bypass).
Ringshifter modulation
Ringshifter envelope follower modulation
The oscillator Frequency and Dry/Wet parameters can be modulated with the internal envelope
follower—and the LFO (see Ringshifter LFO modulation on page 210). The oscillator frequency
even allows modulation through the 0 Hz point, thus changing the oscillation direction.
The envelope follower analyzes the amplitude (volume) of the input signal to create a
continuously changing control signal—a dynamic volume envelope of the input signal. This
control signal can be used for modulation purposes.
Envelope Follower parameters
•
Power button: Turns the envelope follower on or o. When it is turned on, you can access the
following parameters:
•
Sens(itivity) slider and eld: Drag to determine how responsive the envelope follower is to the
input signal. At lower settings, the envelope follower reacts only to the most dominant signal
peaks. At higher settings, the envelope follower tracks the signal more closely but may react
less dynamically.
•
Attack slider and eld: Drag to set the response time of the envelope follower.
•
Decay slider and eld: Drag to set the time it takes the envelope follower to return from a
higher to a lower value.
