• Beta knob: Set the frequency range of the effect. A setting of 1 (centered) is closest to
the source sound.
• Variance knob: Introduce randomization to frequency shifts. Depending on source
material and Alpha/Beta settings, these can range from “underwater” sounds to
powerful noise clouds.
Metallize
Metallize produces classic comb filter style effects.
Tip: Experiment with drum loops to clearly hear the impact of the controls.
• Mix knob: Set the balance between the original signal and the processed sound.
• Interval knob: Set the effect frequency.
• Simplify knob: Reduce the number of effect-generated frequencies, resulting in a
simplified sound.
• Feedback knob: Set the intensity of the effect. Higher settings emphasize harmonics,
creating metallic resonances.
Shimmer
Shimmer sweeps the frequencies to varying degrees and speeds, imparting either slow
frequency shifts or fast shimmering sounds.
Tip: Try pure organ samples to clearly see the results of the effect in the real-time
spectrogram display, particularly at moderate rate settings.
• Mix knob: Set the balance between the original signal and the processed sound.
• Rate knob: Set the sweep speed.
• Shimmer knob: Set the intensity of the frequency sweep.
• Feedback knob: Adjust to introduce resonant, metallic harmonics that are reminiscent of
sounds that can be attained with comb filters.
Shuffle
Shuffle randomly rearranges blocks of bins, resulting in an increasingly abstract and
scattered sound.
Tip: Import a bell sample, and start with very low settings to see and hear the impact of
controls on the sound.
• Mix knob: Set the balance between the original signal and the processed sound.
• Factor knob: Set the number of blocks (of bins) that you want to shuffle.
• Range knob: Set the distance (number of bins) that you want to move each block.
• Bins knob: Set the number of bins contained in each block. Note that bins are numbered
(and selected) sequentially.
