The included effect plug-ins
DaTube
This effect emulates the characteristic warm, lush sound
of a tube amplifier.
The parameters are as follows:
Distortion
Distortion will add crunch to your tracks.
The parameters are as follows:
Dynamics plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Dynamics” category.
Gate
Gating, or noise gating, silences audio signals below a
certain set threshold level. As soon as the signal level ex-
ceeds the set threshold, the gate opens to let the signal
through.
The available parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Drive Regulates the pre-gain of the “amplifier”. Use high values
if you want an overdriven sound just on the verge of
distortion.
Balance This controls the balance between the signal processed
by the Drive parameter and the dry input signal. For max-
imum drive effect, set this to its highest value.
Output Adjusts the post-gain, or output level, of the “amplifier”.
Parameter Description
Boost Increases the distortion amount.
Feedback This parameter feeds part of the output signal back to the
effect input, increasing the distortion effect.
Tone Lets you select a frequency range to which to apply the
distortion effect.
Spatial Changes the distortion characteristics of the left and
right channel, thus creating a stereo effect.
Output Raises or lowers the signal going out of the effect.
Parameter Description
Threshold
(-60–0dB)
This setting determines the level where Gate is activated.
Signal levels above the set threshold trigger the gate to
open, and signal levels below the set threshold will close
the gate.
State LED This indicates whether the gate is open (LED lights up in
green), closed (LED lights up in red) or something in be-
tween (LED lights up in yellow).
Filter buttons When the Side-Chain button (see below) is activated,
you can use these buttons to set the filter type to either
Low Pass, Band Pass or High Pass.
Side-Chain
on/off
This button (below the Center knob) activates the filter.
The input signal can then be shaped according to set
Center and Q-Factor parameters which may be useful in
tailoring how the Gate operates.
Center
(50Hz–
20000Hz)
Sets the center frequency of the filter.
Q-Factor
(0.01–10000)
Sets the Resonance of the filter.
Monitor
(On/Off)
Allows you to monitor the filtered signal.
