by using the Dest pop-up menu.
Think of the Dest menu as a virtual patch cord from the modulator
to the appropriate field in the destination module.
distortion
Any process that distorts the shape and frequency content of a
waveform. Types of distortion include clipping, waveshaping, and
SFX Machine Pro’s Raise-to-Power and PhaseShaping processes.
Doppler effect
A pitch shift that occurs when a sound source and a listener are
moving closer together or further apart. Modulating a Delay Time in
SFX Machine Pro shrinks or stretches the waveforms, producing a
pitch shift that is analogous to the Doppler effect.
downsampling
Resampling a digital signal at a lower sampling rate. If
downsampling is not preceded by lowpass filtering, aliasing
distortion can result.
DSP
Digital Signal Processing. Digital samples and analog voltages are
both abstract representations of sound; digital signals are simply a
different type of analogy, in which the signals are quantized both in
time and amplitude and are represented by a series of numbers.
Earl Vickers effect
The phenomenon (related to the "cocktail-party effect") by which
one immediately notices whenever one's name is spoken anywhere
in a crowded room.
Echo
1. A mountain nymph who could only repeat the last words spoken
by another. Hopelessly in love with Narcissus, she faded away until
only her voice remained.
2. Repetition of a sound due to the reflection of sound waves. In SFX
Machine Pro, you can create echoes by delaying a signal and mixing
a portion of the result back into the delay’s source.
