The Included VST Instruments
Mystic
• If you want to random calculate a spectrum filter curve, you can choose the
Randomize function from the Preset pop-up menu.
Each time you choose this function, a new randomized spectrum appears.
Waveform Pop-up Menu
The pop-up menu at the bottom of the waveform section (the central box at the top of
the panel) allows you to select a basic waveform to be sent through filter contour A.
The options are especially suited for use with the spectrum filter.
Cut
This offsets the frequency of the filter contour, working somewhat like a cutoff control
on a standard synth filter. To use the filter contour in its full frequency range, set Cut to
its maximum value.
Morph
Adjusts the mix between the two signal paths: waveform A spectrum contour A and
waveform B spectrum contour B.
Coarse
This offsets the pitch for the impulse sound. In a typical string setup, when the impulse
sound is very short, this does not change the pitch of the final sound, but the tonal
color.
Raster
This removes harmonics from the impulse sound. As the harmonic content of the
impulse sound is reflected in the comb filter sound, this changes the final timbre.
Comb Filter Sound Parameters
Damping
This is a 6 dB/oct low-pass filter that affects the sound being fed back into the comb
filters. This means the sound becomes gradually softer when decaying, that is, high
harmonics decay faster than the lower harmonics (as when plucking a string on a
guitar, for example).
• The lower the Damping, the more pronounced this effect.
If you open the filter completely (turn Damping up to max) the harmonic content is
static – the sound does not get softer when decaying.
