When loading the sound clone, it's important to place the play cursor at a location in the
object where all of the instruments are playing; the sound cloner uses the audio material at
the play cursor as the basis for calculation of the filter settings. The selected filter curve will
not be transferred directly into the FFT filter; initially, a spectral analysis of the target audio
material is executed at the play cursor before the selected object's filter curve is adjusted.
By default, 20 seconds will be analyzed, but the length of the area to be analyzed can be
adjusted by dragging with the mouse on the range in the arranger.
Sound cloner controls
Learn: A frequency analysis is calculated at the playback position. A dialog opens in which
the result can be saved as a special match preset.
File: The sound clone's reference is created using the selected object. This produces a
spectral image of the object. Next, the Sound Cloner preset can be saved and then
appears at the bottom of the presets list. Real-time effects are ignored in this mode when
defining the reference.
FX input: The input at the effect is used as a reference. Realtime effects looped before the
FFT filter which is used as a cloner are accounted for in this mode when defining the
reference.
Inverse: Inverts the filter curve. This function inverts the sample data within the selected
range along the amplitude axis, i. e. negative values become positive and vice-versa.
Bypass: The algorithm is removed from the signal route. This way the unedited signal can
be compared to the result of the algorithm.
FFT Filter/Spectral Analysis (Offline)
With the FFT analysis filter you have a high-quality tool at your disposal which can be used
to solve typical problems in elegant and partially completely new ways. The FFT analysis
filter is a combination of a high-quality FFT spectral analyzer and an FFT filter. The
calculated frequency response curve can be edited using a freehand tool and then sent to
the audio material. The real-time preview function allows you to work in an intuitive and
time-saving manner.
Some areas of application of this tool are:
 Checking and correction of the frequency response of the recording or mix.
 High-precision frequency measurement, e.g. for verifying the tuning of instruments.
 High-precision filtering of the finest nuances to full sample distortion without any
changes to the phase response. Phase distortion effects like deteriorated impulse
response or room impression are minimized with this. Linear-phase filters do not have
their own sound.
 Sub-bass precision correction in the low-frequency range between 10 and 50 Hz with
any increase or dampening without the effects that usually occur with filters of this kind.
Ideal for bass-heavy pop music or for removing rumbling or footsteps.
 Selectively dampens or raises the level of individual instruments or pitches from
recordings.
 Formant filter
