The included effect plug-ins
Metalizer (not in Cubase LE)
Metalizer feeds the audio signal through a variable fre-
quency filter, with tempo sync or time modulation and
feedback control.
The following parameters are available:
Phaser
Phaser produces the well-known “swooshing” phasing
effect with additional stereo enhancement.
The following parameters are available:
Parameter Description
Feedback The higher the value, the more “metallic” the sound.
Sharpness Governs the character of the filter effect. The higher the
value, the narrower the affected frequency area, produc
-
ing a sharper sound and a more pronounced effect.
Tone Governs the feedback frequency. The effect of this will be
more noticeable with high Feedback settings.
On button Turns filter modulation on and off. When turned off, Met-
alizer works as a static filter.
Mono button When this is activated, the output of Metalizer is mono.
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 modulation speed can be set
freely with the Speed knob.
Sync button The button above the Speed knob is used to switch
tempo sync on (button lights up) or off.
Output slider Sets the overall volume.
Mix slider Sets the level balance between the dry and the wet sig-
nal. If Metalizer is used as a send effect, set this to the
maximum value as you can control the dry/effect balance
with the send.
Parameter Description
Rate If tempo sync is on, this is where you specify the base
note value for tempo-syncing the phaser sweep (1/1 to
1/32, straight, triplet, or dotted).
If tempo sync is off, the sweep rate can be set freely with
the Rate knob.
Sync button The button below the Rate knob is used to switch tempo
sync on or off.
Width Determines the width of the modulation effect between
higher and lower frequencies.
Feedback Determines the character of the phaser effect. Higher
settings produce a more pronounced effect.
Spatial When using multi-channel audio, the Spatial parameter
creates a 3-dimensional impression by delaying modula
-
tion in each channel.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry and the wet sig-
nal. If Phaser is used as a send effect, set this to the max-
imum level as you can control the dry/effect balance with
the send.
Manual knob Allows you to change the sweep position manually when
the Manual button is deactivated. The value range is from
0 to 100.
Manual button Use this button to activate/deactivate the Manual func-
tion. If activated, the flanger sweep is static, i. e. no mod-
ulation takes place.
Filter Lo/Hi Allow you to roll off low and high frequencies of the effect
signal.
