15.7 Perform FX
Designed for spontaneous, tactile control in recording or live performance, these eight complex
multi-effects alter motion, space, dynamics, and more for added expression.
▪ Filter: The Filter is a raw-sounding, analog-modelled LP/BP/HP filter with additional satura-
tion parameters and resonance that can be pushed into self-oscillation. For more informa-
tion see section ↑15.7.1, Filter.
▪ Flanger: The Flanger is a comb filter effect. It can behave like a standard flanger or phaser
but can also go pretty wild and sound more like a creative delay if you push the decay and
delay time.  Various  tone-shaping  controls  are  available.  For  more  information  see  section
↑15.7.2, Flanger.
▪ Brst Echo: The Burst Echo is a warm, versatile echo with plenty of character. It's great as a
dub echo but can also be used for quite extreme sound design. For more information see
section ↑15.7.3, Burst Echo.
▪ Reso Echo:  The  Reso  Echo  is a  crazy  psychedelic echo  which  can be  tightened  up  into  a
punchy resonator. For more information see section ↑15.7.4, Reso Echo.
▪ Ring: Based on a bank of ring modulators, the Ring effect adds a bell-like quality to melod-
ic sound sources. An additional plate reverb lets you pick out individual notes with your fin-
ger and have them ring out for several seconds. For more information see section ↑15.7.5,
Ring.
▪ Stutter:  Stutter  is  a  beat-mangling  effect,  great  for  adding  glitches  and  fills  to  drum  pat-
terns and more. For more information see section ↑15.7.6, Stutter.
