Modulation plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Modulation” category.
Metalizer
The Metalizer feeds the audio signal through a variable
frequency filter, with tempo sync or time modulation and
feedback control.
Parameter/
Value
Description
Base Cutoff This sets the base filter cutoff frequency. Cutoff values
set in the Cutoff grid window are values relative to the
Base Cutoff value.
Base
Resonance
This sets the base filter resonance. Resonance values set
in the Resonance grid window are values relative to the
Base Resonance value. Note that very high Base Reso-
nance settings can produce loud ringing effects at cer-
tain frequencies.
Glide This will apply glide between the pattern step values,
causing values to change more smoothly.
Filter Mode This slider selects between lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP)
or highpass (HP) filter modes (from left to right respec-
tively).
Sync 1/1 to
1/32 (Straight,
Triplet or Dotted)
This sets the pattern beat resolution, i.e. what note values
the pattern will play in relation to the tempo.
Output Sets the overall volume.
Mix Adjusts the mix between dry and processed signal.
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 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, the
Metalizer will work as a static filter.
Mono button When this is on, the output of the Metalizer will be in
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, without sync to tempo.
Tempo sync
on/off
The button above the Speed knob is used to switch
tempo sync on or off. The button is lit when tempo sync is
on.
Output Sets the overall volume.
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the ef-
fect. If Metalizer is used as a send effect, this should be
set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance
with the send.
