Vintage Effects Suite
If you're a guitar, bass or keyboard player, you'll probably recognize the look of
our new "vintage effects" suite. They are accurate digital models of analog
"standard effects" used by live musicians. Although we have adopted the
appearance of stomp boxes and have given these effect a typical analog
sound they are ideal for studio use.
All effects of the Vintage Effects Suite are subject to a soft rule behavior –
internally, parameters are softly faded from the old to the new value. This is
particularly noticeable when presets change and is of a particular benefit when
playing in live mode.
In the following we will present the effects of this suite and explain how and
where to use them.
Analog Delay
This delay offers creative playing along with common delay effects. "Analog" in
this case means, for instance, that you can change the delay times while
playing without the risk of typical, scratching artefacts developing. Instead, the
times are softly faded out, similar to the old tape echo machines that used the
tape speed to change the delay and where the system also had a certain
sluggishness.
"analog" in terms of this delay also means that typical tape echo sounds can
be mimicked, e.g. tape speed fluctuations and reduced highs during playback
("feedback"). The feedback has a two-band filter that can be used to create
dark, high, or mid repetitions depending on the settings.
