Enhancers
Enhancers modify the spectral content of the input signal by boosting existing spectral
content, or stimulating new ones. Two and three-band versions are provided.
Drive adjusts the input into each band. Increasing the drive will increase the eects. Range is
-79.0 to 24.0 dB.
Xfer adjusts the intensity of the transfer curves. Range is -100 to 100%.
EQ Morpher
is eect uses two four-band bandpass lters, A and B, and moves between them. is can
produce very convincing human vocal type sounds.
FreqScale osets the lter frequencies for each set of lters. After setting the lter parameters
(Freq, Gain, and Width), the FreqScale parameters will move each of the four lter
frequencies together by the same relative pitch. Range is -8600 to 8600 cents.
Morph A>B. When set to 0% the “A” parameters are controlling the lters, and when set
to 100%, the “B” parameters control the lters. Between 0 and 100%, the lters are at
interpolated positions. When morphing from A to B settings, the A lter #1 will change to
the B lter #1, A lter #2 moves to B lter #2, and so on. Range is 0 to 100%.
Compressors, Expanders, and Gates
A wide range of Compression and Expansion eects is available in the Forte. e various
eects include dierent combinations of:
• compressors with soft-knee characteristic—the compression action comes in gradually
as the signal level approaches the threshold
• compressors with hard-knee characteristic—the compression action comes in
abruptly when the signal reaches the threshold
• expanders
• multiband compressors that break the signal up into three frequency bands and
compress them all separately
• sidechains or output EQs
• reverbs and compressors in combination
• gates
• gated reverbs
All of the Compression eects use these parameters:
