6 SPECTRAL SHAPING
6 SpectralShaping
The Frequency Mix (FREQ) controls allow the Transient and Sustain effects to be applied
by different amounts in different frequency ranges.
To view these controls, click the FREQ button for the Transient or Sustain section.
Transient Frequency Mix controls
This can be thought of as a frequency dependent wet/dry mix – the top of the graph is
fully Wet, the bottom is Dry.
These controls make the detection and application of the Transient and Sustain effects
frequency dependent. An important aspect of this behaviour is that it is achieved without
splittingthesignalintomultiplefrequencybands. Because of this, inserting the
Envolution plug-in into parallel routing paths will not introduce static phase-cancellation
artefacts. There are no FIR filters either, which allows the plug-in to have very low latency.
With 0% Tilt/Focus settings, Envolution is frequency-independent and
completely true to the spectrum of the input programme, unlike a multi-band
processor.
6.1 TiltMode
Tilt Mode provides ‘tilt EQ’ style control of frequency dependency. Defaulting to a smooth
6 dB/octave slope, this is very useful for gentle tone shaping. At extreme settings (-100%
and 100%), the response changes to a low-pass or high-pass filter, allowing you to
exclude low or high frequency signal components from the processing.
If you’re ever hearing too much effect in the Low or High regions, use Tilt Amount to tilt
the curve down in that region. For example, when using the Sustain section to reduce
