The included effect plug-ins
Phaser
Phaser produces the well-known “swooshing” phasing
effect with additional stereo enhancement.
The parameters are as follows:
Ringmodulator
The Ringmodulator can produce complex, bell-like enhar-
monic sounds. Ring modulators work by multiplying two
audio signals. The ring modulated output contains added
frequencies generated by the sum of, and the difference
between, the frequencies of the two signals.
The Ringmodulator has a built-in oscillator that is multi-
plied with the input signal to produce the effect.
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 phaser 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.
Width The width of the modulation effect between higher and
lower frequencies.
Feedback This determines the character of the phaser effect.
Higher settings produce a more pronounced effect.
Spatial When using multi-channel audio, Spatial creates a 3-di-
mensional impression by delaying modulation in each
channel.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the ef-
fect. If the Phaser is used as a send effect, this should be
set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance
with the send.
Manual If this is activated, the phaser 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
Oscillator LFO
Amount
Controls how much the oscillator frequency is affected
by the LFO.
Oscillator Env.
Amount
Controls how much the oscillator frequency is affected
by the envelope (which is triggered by the input signal).
Positive and negative values can be set, with center posi-
tion representing no modulation. Left of center, a loud in-
put signal will decrease the oscillator pitch, whereas right
of center the oscillator pitch will increase when fed a loud
input.
Oscillator Wave Selects the oscillator waveform; square, sine, saw or
triangle.
Oscillator Range Determines the frequency range of the oscillator in Hz.
Oscillator
Frequency
Sets the oscillator frequency +/- 2 octaves within the se-
lected range.
Oscillator
Roll-Off
Cuts high frequencies in the oscillator waveform, to
soften the overall sound. This is best used when harmon-
ically rich waveforms are selected (e.g. square or saw).
LFO Speed Sets the LFO Speed.
LFO Env.
Amount
Controls how much the input signal level – via the enve-
lope generator – affects the LFO speed. Positive and
negative values can be set, with center position repre-
senting no modulation. Left of center, a loud input signal
will slow down the LFO, whereas right of center a loud in-
put signal will speed it up.
LFO Waveform Selects the LFO waveform; square, sine, saw or triangle.
