- Index
▪
SIZE: Controls the size of the added reverb, ranging from small to vast room sizes.
▪
FRZ (Freeze): Freezes the reverb by closing the input and leaving the output open. The
SIZE control remains active in Freeze mode allowing interesting pitch effects.
Group Mode (1-Knob Control)
Works like the SIZE knob in Single mode.
14.4.24 Reverb T3
Classic Reverb with extreme room sizes, individual low pass & high pass Filter Controls,
and Freeze function like in TRAKTOR 3 and previous TRAKTOR SCRATCH versions.
Single Mode
▪
LP: LP filter in the effect loop — fully open when turned to the left.
▪
HP: HP filter in the effect loop — fully open when turned to the right.
▪
SIZE: Control the size of the added reverb, ranging from small to vast room sizes.
▪
FRZ (Freeze): Freezes the Reverb by closing the input and leaving open the output.
Group Mode (1-Knob Control)
► Works like the
SIZE
knob in Single mode.
14.4.25 Ring Modulator
The Ring Modulator is an effect that modulates the tracks by multiplying the high frequen
cy signal onto the audio material.
Single Mode
▪
AM-RM: Morphs the type of modulation from amplitude modulation in full left position
to ring modulation in full right position. Amplitude modulation sounds softer compared
to ring modulation.
▪
RAW: Controls the shape of the modulation oscillator. The oscillator is a sine wave in
full left position for smooth sounds and a filtered square wave in full right position for
harsher sounds.
▪
PITCH
: Controls the frequency of the modulating oscillator from low in full left position
to high in full right position (100 Hz — 8371 Hz).
