The included effect plug-ins
Flanger
Flanger is a classic flanger effect with added stereo
enhancement.
The parameters are as follows:
Metalizer
The Metalizer feeds the audio signal through a variable
frequency filter, with tempo sync or time modulation and
feedback control.
Parameter Description
Tempo sync on/
off
The button below the Rate knob is used to switch tempo
sync on or off. The button is lit when tempo sync is on.
Rate If tempo sync is on, this is where you specify the base
note value for tempo syncing the flanger sweep (1/1 to
1/32, straight, triplet or dotted).
If tempo sync is off, the sweep rate can be set freely with
the Rate knob, without sync to tempo.
Range Lo/Hi This sets the frequency boundaries for the flanger sweep.
Feedback This determines the character of the flanger effect.
Higher settings produce a more “metallic” sounding
sweep.
Spatial This sets the stereo width of the effect. Turn clockwise
for a wider stereo effect.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the ef-
fect. If the Flanger is used as a send effect, this should be
set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance
with the send.
Shape This changes the shape of the modulating waveform, al-
tering the character of the flanger sweep.
Delay This parameter affects the frequency range of the modu-
lation sweep, by adjusting the initial delay time.
Manual If this is activated, the flanger sweep will be static, i.e. no
modulation. You can instead change the sweep position
manually by turning this knob.
Filter Lo/Hi These parameters allow you to roll off low and high fre-
quencies of the effect signal, respectively.
Side-Chain
On/Off
When this is activated, the modulation can be controlled
by a signal routed to the Side-Chain input. When the
side-chain signal exceeds the threshhold the modulation
will be controlled by the side-chain signal’s envelope. For
a description of how to set up Side-Chain routing, see
the chapter “Audio effects” in the Operation Manual.
Parameter Description
Feedback The higher the value, the more “metallic” the sound.
Sharpness Governs the character of the filter effect. The higher the
value, the narrower the affected frequency area, produc-
ing sharper sound and a more pronounced effect.
Tone Governs the feedback frequency. The effect of this will
be more noticeable with high Feedback settings.
On button Turns filter modulation on and off. When turned off, the
Metalizer will work as a static filter.
Mono button When this is on, the output of the Metalizer will be in mono.
Speed If tempo sync is on, this is where you specify the base
note value for tempo-syncing the effect (1/1 to 1/32,
straight, triplet or dotted). Note that there is no note value
modifier for this effect.
If tempo sync is off, the modulation speed can be set
freely with the Speed knob, without sync to tempo.
Tempo sync
on/off
The button above the Speed knob is used to switch tempo
sync on or off. The button is lit when tempo sync is on.
Output Sets the overall volume.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the ef-
fect. If Metalizer is used as a send effect, this should be
set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance
with the send.
