The included effect plug-ins
StudioChorus
The StudioChorus plug-in is a two stage chorus effect
which adds short delays to the signal and pitch modulates
the delayed signals to produce a “doubling” effect. The
two separate stages of chorus modulation are completely
independent and are processed serially (cascaded).
The parameters for each stage are as follows:
Tranceformer
Tranceformer is a ring modulator effect, in which the in-
coming audio is ring modulated by an internal, variable fre-
quency oscillator, producing new harmonics. A second
oscillator can be used to modulate the frequency of the
first oscillator, in sync with the Song tempo if needed.
Ö Note that clicking and dragging in the display allows
you to adjust the Tone and Depth parameters at the same
time!
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 chorus 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 This determines the depth of the chorus effect. Higher
settings produce a more pronounced effect.
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 StudioChorus is used as a send effect, this should
be set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect bal-
ance with the send.
Delay This parameter affects the frequency range of the modu-
lation sweep, by adjusting the initial delay time.
Shape This changes the shape of the modulating waveform, al-
tering the character of the chorus sweep. Sine and trian-
gle waveforms are available.
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
Waveform
buttons
Sets the pitch modulation waveform.
Tone Sets the frequency (pitch) of the modulating oscillator
(1 to 5000Hz).
Depth Governs the depth of the pitch modulation.
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 modula-
tion 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.
On button Turns modulation of the pitch parameter on or off.
Mono button Governs whether the output will be stereo or mono.
Output Adjusts the output level of the effect.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the
effect.
