The included effect plug-ins
Chorus
This is a single-stage chorus effect. It works by doubling
whatever is sent into it with a slightly detuned version (see
also
“StudioChorus (Cubase only)” on page 35).
The following parameters are available:
Ö The modulation can also be controlled from another
signal source via the side-chain input. When the side-
chain signal exceeds the threshold, the modulation is con
-
trolled by the side-chain signal’s envelope. For a descrip-
tion of how to set up side-chain routing, see the chapter
“Audio effects” in the Operation Manual.
Cloner (Cubase only)
The Cloner plug-in adds up to four detuned and delayed
voices to the signal, for rich modulation and chorus effects.
The following parameters are available:
Parameter Description
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.
Sync button The button below the Rate knob is used to switch tempo
sync on or off.
Width Determines the depth of the chorus effect. Higher set-
tings produce a more pronounced effect.
Waveform
Shape selector
Allows you to select the modulation waveform, altering
the character of the chorus sweep. A sine and a triangle
waveform are available.
Spatial Sets the stereo width of the effect. Turn clockwise for a
wider stereo effect.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry and the wet sig-
nal. If Chorus is used as a send effect, set this to the max-
imum value as you can control the dry/effect balance with
the send.
Delay Affects the frequency range of the modulation sweep by
adjusting the initial delay time.
Filter Lo/Hi Allow you to roll off low and high frequencies of the effect
signal.
Parameter Description
Voices Allows you to select the number of voices (up to four). For
each added voice, a Detune and a Delay slider are added
in the right half of the panel.
Spatial Spreads the added voices across the stereo spectrum.
Turn clockwise for a deeper stereo effect.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry and the wet sig-
nal. If Cloner is used as a send effect, set this to the max-
imum value as you can control the dry/effect balance with
the send.
Output Allows you to reduce or increase the output gain by up to
12
dB.
Detune slider
1–4
Controls the relative detune amount for each voice. Posi-
tive and negative values can be set, from -100 to 100. A
value of zero means no detune for that voice.
Delay slider
1–4
Controls the relative delay amount for each voice. A value
of zero means no delay for that voice.
Detune Governs the overall depth of the detuning for all voices. If
this is set to zero, no detuning takes place, regardless of
the Detune slider settings.
Natural button By clicking the Natural button below the Detune knob,
you can change the pitch algorithm.
Detune –
Humanize
Controls the amount of detune variation when Static De-
tune is deactivated. With Humanize, the detune is con-
stantly modulated for a more natural effect. The value
range is from 0 to 100 (strongest detune variation).
