Ultrawave Signal Path
The diagram above is a functional representation of the signal path inside the Ultrawave. One should
note there are 2 separate signal paths to provide true stereo, stereo imaging, and other multi-
channel routing options. The multiband separation, distortion, and gain control lies in the center on
the path. Note that the multiband blocks plus EQ and filtering can be “morphed” between two
defined states via LFO, envelope or expression. For instance, one could create a clear octave up tone
in one state and then a highly distorted foldback tone in the second state. If used with an envelope,
a struck note would ring with a clear octave up tone, but then decay into highly distorted foldback
fuzz. This is one example on an infinite range of possible sound creation options. There are two
compressors in the Ultrawave, and they can be placed before or after the multiband processing.
Through use of EQ and routing options, it is possible to use the Ultrawave as a 2-band compressor.
Finally, it is possible to add phase offset tremolo to each band. Multiband tremolo adds yet another
innovative and interesting option to the Ultrawave multiband toolbox. The diagram below
summarizes the function of each block.
