Specifications

Use the Harmonic Exciter when you want to enhance or add life to your instrument

and add clarity to vocals in a mix. As you turn the Range parameter up, the

effect the exciter has on the signal increases. Select the frequency you wish to

excite with the Tune parameter.

The exciter in the NIGHTBASS is integrated within the distortion section. Located

between the tube and solid state distortions circuits, different distortion types

are enhanced in extraordinary ways.

ENVELOPE FILTER

[ENVLP FILTER], [ENV]

Parameters:

TYPE: = [ULTRA] ULTRA, SUPER, MEDIUM, NARROW, X15 SWP, RVRS LO, RVRS HI, OFF

THRESH: = [90%] 0 to 100% in 3% increments

ATTACK: = [40ms] 360, 180, 120, 80, 50, 40, 30ms

TUNE = [744Hz] 120 to 3200Hz (64 steps)

The Envelope Filter algorithm provides seven filter sweep ranges producing a

variety of WAH WAH effect sounds sweeping from low to high and high to low. Set

the Type to select the sweep width needed. Ultra has an extremely wide range,

Super a standard sweep, Medium a little less and Narrow for a tight frequency

range. When you select the X15 Swp, the NIGHTBASSis to be controlled by the

Ultrafoot. The RVRS settings sweep from high frequency to low frequency. The HI

is a wide sweep and the LO is a narrow sweep. Set the Threshold parameter to

trigger the sweep. Attack sets how fast the filter responds to playing. Adjust

your frequency sweep window with the Tune parameter.

NOTES:

1) The actual input level after the Drive control is used to trigger the envelope

filter.

2) Using a Distortion with the Envelope Filter adds some harmonic interaction to

the sound.

3) The release time is fixed at 200ms.

4) If you use the X-15 Ultrafoot, you should assign a Performance MIDI controller

to the Threshold parameter.

NOISE GATE

[NOISE GATE], [NGT]

Parameter:

RANGE = [50%] OFF to 100% in 3% increments

The Noise Gate is located last in the analog effects chain. Its one parameter,

Range, sets the threshold point of when the gate kicks in, shutting off the

signal. As the Range parameter value increases, the NIGHTBASS is allowed to gate

off higher signal levels.

NOTE:

The Noise Gate uses the input signal level to determine if it is opened or

closed.
