The Raise to Power process automatically clips any signal that
exceeds +/- 100%. This can be useful. For example, the Noise Gate
Preset amplifies a sound’s amplitude envelope and uses it to
overdrive the Raise to Power process, causing all but the quietest
parts of the sound to max out at 100%. The resulting signal is used
to attenuate the low-level sounds.
Delay
You can use the Delay process to produce many different kinds of
effects: echoes, choruses, flangers, tonal changes, pitch changes,
feedback effects, etc.
Delay has one parameter, the delay time. The delay time can be
specified in milliseconds (ms.) or as a multiple of the host tempo
(“Tempo”), depending on the setting of the ms/Tempo pop-up
menu.
Very short delay times can produce a doubling effect; slightly longer
delays can produce a slapback echo, and still longer delays can
make discrete echoes.
The maximum available delay time depends on how many sub-
modules are sharing the delay memory. Using stereo sounds and
multiple delays results in less available time per delay. If you enter a
delay time greater than the maximum available delay, the value you
entered will automatically be replaced by the maximum available
value.
Sample/Hold
The Sample/Hold process samples the source signal (after any
incoming modulations) at a user-specified time interval. It holds the
signal at that level until the end of the specified hold time and then
grabs another sample.
