The included effect plug-ins
Chopper
Chopper is a combined tremolo and autopan effect. It can
use different waveforms to modulate the level (tremolo) or
left-right stereo position (pan), either using tempo sync or
manual modulation speed settings. The parameters are as
follows:
Octaver
This plug-in can generate two additional voices that track
the pitch of the input signal one octave and two octaves
below the original pitch, respectively. Octaver is best used
with monophonic signals. The parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Waveform
buttons
Sets the modulation waveform.
Depth Sets the depth of the Chopper effect. This can also be
set by clicking in the graphic display.
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 tremolo/auto-pan 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 (the button lights up) or off.
Stereo/Mono
button
Determines whether the Chopper will work as an auto-
panner (button set to “Stereo”) or a tremolo effect (but-
ton set to “Mono”).
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the ef-
fect. If Chopper is used as a send effect, this should be
set to maximum.
Parameter Description
Direct This adjusts the mix of the original signal and the gener-
ated voice(s). A value of 0 means only the generated and
transposed signal is heard. By raising this value, more of
the original signal is heard.
Octave 1 This adjusts the level of the generated signal one octave
below the original pitch. Set to 0 means the voice is
muted.
Octave 2 This adjusts the level of the generated signal two octaves
below the original pitch. Set to 0 means the voice is
muted.
