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:
Restoration plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Restoration” category.
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
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
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.
