The included effect plug-ins
Tuner
This is a guitar tuner. Simply connect a guitar or other in-
strument to an audio input and select the Tuner as an in-
sert effect (make sure you deactivate any other effect that
alters pitch, like chorus or vibrato). When the instrument is
connected, proceed as follows:
Play a note.
The key is shown in the middle of the display. In addition, the frequency in
Hz is shown in the bottom left corner and the octave range in the bottom
right corner. If the key is wrong (e.g. if you wish to tune the E string and the
key is shown as Fb), first tune the string so that the correct key is shown.
The two arrows indicate any deviation in pitch by their
position. If the pitch is flat, they will be positioned in the
left half of the display, if the pitch is sharp they will be in
the right half.
The deviation is also shown (in Cent) in the upper area of the display.
Tune the instrument so that the two arrows are in the
middle.
Repeat this procedure for each string.
Restoration plug-ins – Grungelizer
The Grungelizer adds noise and static to your recordings
– kind of like listening to a radio with bad reception, or a
worn and scratched vinyl record. The available parameters
are as follows:
Parameter Description
Crackle This adds crackle to create that old vinyl record sound.
The farther to the right you turn the dial, the more crackle
is added.
RPM switch When emulating the sound of a vinyl record, this switch
lets you set the RPM (revolutions per minute) speed of
the record (33/45/78 RPM).
Noise This dial regulates the amount of static noise added.
Distort Use this dial to add distortion.
EQ Turn this dial to the right to cut off the low frequencies,
and create a more hollow, lo-fi sound.
AC This emulates a constant, low hum of AC current.
Frequency
switch
This sets the frequency of the AC current (50 or 60Hz),
and thus the pitch of the AC hum.
Timeline This dial regulates the amount of overall effect. The far-
ther to the right (1900) you turn this dial, the more notice-
able the effect.
