198 EFFECTS AND PLUG-INS IN AN OVERVIEW
BeatBox - effects section
Each of BeatBox 2's drum instruments includes an effects unit which is fed in after the
actual sound synthesis and editing. Each of these effects units includes a series of high-
quality algorithms to add "audio polish" or to place the sound in a production-typical
context.
1.
FX on/off
2. Parameter controller: An effects module includes four adjustable parameters. The
fourth parameter, "Mix", is always available and the remainder possess a function
dependent upon the selected algorithm.
3. Automation: This selects the controller's parameter for the automation.
4. Effects algorithm: Click the arrow to select an effects algorithm.
The available effects algorithms are described in the following:
 Mono delay (tempo sync/millisec.)
Simple, monophonic delay effect.
Parameters
-Time: Delay time controlled by musical measure (sync) or free
-Feedback: Repetitions
-Damping: High damping of the repetition
 Stereo delay (tempo sync / millisec.)
Stereophonic repetition, separately adjustable per side
Parameters
-Left/right: Delay times, synced or free
-Feedback: Compared to mono delay, no repetition takes place in the middle position of
the feedback controller. When turned to the left, the type of delay is the so-called "ping-
pong" variety, i.e. the signal is sent alternately so that it jumps from one channel to the
other. When turned to the right, the delay effect is "dual mono", in which case left and right
sides function as two independent time-delay units.
 Chorus
