The included VST instruments
To assign any of these controllers to one or several pa-
rameters, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the “Mod Dest” box for one of the controllers.
A pop-up menu appears in which all possible modulation destinations
are shown. All Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope pa
-
rameters are available as destinations.
2. Select a destination.
The selected modulation destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the
modulation amount when the controller is at its full range.
• You can set positive and negative modulation values by
clicking on the value in the list, typing in a new value and
pressing the Enter key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber of modulation destinations for the controllers.
They are all listed in the “Mod Dest” box for the respective controller.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in
the list and select “Off” from the pop-up menu.
Effects (EFX) page
This page features three separate effect units: Distortion,
Delay and Modulation (Phaser/Flanger/Chorus). The Ef-
fect page is opened by clicking the EFX button at the top
of the lower half of the control panel.
• Each separate effect section is laid out with a row of
buttons that determine the effect type or characteristic
and a row of sliders for making parameter settings.
• To activate an effect, click the “Active” button so that a
dot appears.
Clicking again deactivates the effect.
Distortion
You can select between 4 basic distortion characteristics:
• Distortion provides hard clipping distortion.
• Soft Distortion provides soft clipping distortion.
• Tape Emulation produces distortion similar to magnetic tape
saturation.
• Tube Emulation produces distortion similar to valve amplifiers.
The parameters are as follows:
Delay
You can select between 3 basic delay characteristics:
• Stereo Delay has two separate delay lines panned left and
right.
• In Mono Delay the two delay lines are connected in series for
monophonic dual tap delay effects.
• In Cross Delay the delayed sound bounces between the ste-
reo channels.
The parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Drive Sets the amount of distortion by amplifying the input sig-
nal.
Filter This parameter sets the crossover frequency of the dis-
tortion filter. The distortion filter consists of a low pass fil-
ter and a high pass filter with a cutoff frequency equal to
the crossover frequency.
Tone This parameter controls the relative amount of low-pass
and high-pass filtered signal.
Level This controls the output level of the effect.
Parameter Description
Song Sync This switches tempo sync of the delay times on or off.
Delay 1 Sets the delay time ranging from 0 ms to 728 ms. If MIDI
sync is activated the range is from 1/32 to 1/1; straight,
triplet or dotted.
Delay 2 Same as Delay 1.
Feedback This controls the decay of the delays. With higher set-
tings the echoes repeat longer.
Filter A low pass filter is built into the feedback loop of the de-
lay. This parameter controls the cutoff frequency of this
feedback filter. Low settings result in successive echoes
sounding darker.
Level This controls the output level of the effect.
