The included effect plug-ins
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.
Rotary
The Rotary plug-in simulates the classic effect of a rotary
speaker. A rotary speaker cabinet features variable speed
rotating speakers to produce a swirling chorus effect, com-
monly used with organs. Rotary features all the parameters
associated with the real thing.
The parameters are as follows:
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 neg-
ative values can be set, with center position representing
no modulation. Left of center, a loud input signal will slow
down the LFO, whereas right of center a loud input signal
will speed it up.
LFO Wave-
form
Selects the LFO waveform; square, sine, saw or triangle.
Invert Stereo This inverts the LFO waveform for the right channel of the
oscillator, which produces a wider stereo perspective for
the modulation.
Envelope
Generator
(Attack and
Decay dials)
The Envelope Generator section controls how the input
signal is converted to envelope data, which can then be
used to control oscillator pitch and LFO speed. It has two
main controls:
Attack sets how fast the envelope output level rises in re-
sponse to a rising input signal.
Decay controls how fast the envelope output level falls in
response to a falling input signal.
Lock L<R When this button is enabled, the L and R input signals
are merged, and produce the same envelope output level
for both oscillator channels. When disabled, each chan-
nel has its own envelope, which affects the two channels
of the oscillator independently.
Output Sets the overall volume.
Mix Adjusts the mix between dry and processed signal.
Parameter Description
Speed (Stop/
Slow/Fast)
This controls the speed of the Rotary in three steps.
Mode Selects whether the Slow/Fast setting is a switch or a
variable control. When switch mode is selected and
Pitchbend is the controller, the speed will switch with an
up or down flick of the bender. Other controllers switch
at 64.
Speed Mod Selects the Rotary speed from 0 (Stop) to 100 (Fast).
Overdrive Applies a soft overdrive or distortion.
CrossOver Sets the crossover frequency (200–3000Hz) between
the low and high frequency loudspeakers.
