E ects Description
Cathedral
Simulates the reverberation heard in big cathedrals. This e ect is characterized
by a long reverb and very speci c echoes. It works well with solo instruments
and vocals.
Concert
Simulates the reverberation in a mid-size concert hall. The preset is well suited for
all natural instruments such as piano. When used sparingly, it also gives vocals an
interesting touch, for example, in ballads.
Club
Simulates the cozy atmosphere of a mid-size jazz club or theater. This reverb is
characterized by its early re ections and short decay. The preset works well with
vocals, electric piano, drums, saxophone and other instruments.
Chamber
Simulates the typical characteristics of a chamber. The preset is well suited for
drums, guitars and vocals or whenever you need an unobtrusive reverb to breathe
some life into a signal.
Gold Plate
Simulates the legendary sound of a gold foil reverb plate as used in former studio
reverb units. This e ect features a very dense sound of its own and is particularly
suited to produce a very distinct reverb, e.g. for drums and vocals.
Gated Reverb
Simulates the reverb type cut o by a gate, which was very popular in the 80’s.
This e ect was typically used with snare or kick drums, but can be used to achieve
interesting e ects with other instruments too.
Reverse Reverb
Produces a reverb which has its reverb tail reversed. Consequently, the reverb
volume does not decrease over time but increases. This preset can be used for
unusual e ects with the most varied kinds of signals. A very popular application is
to use it for snare drums.
Ambience
Provides the signal with spatial information, however, does not produce an
audible reverb. The preset works well with drums, keyboards, guitars and vocals or
whenever you need an unobtrusive room sound without reverb.
Delay
Produces several echoes/delays of the input signal, reduces them in level and adds
them to the original signal (echo e ect). Use the Delay preset to create e ects
which are very interesting in terms of rhythm. This preset can be used for virtually
any instrument. It is particularly useful for keyboards, guitars and vocals.
Chorus
Adds a warm touch to the original signal, giving more body and width. Chorus can
be used for virtually any signals which should sound a bit fuller.
Flanger
Gives a signal a wonderful “retro” touch. Flanger has always been a popular
e ect for guitars and keyboards, but you can also produce interesting sounds in
combination with drums, vocals or other signals.
Phaser
This e ect adds a copy of the input signal, however, shifted in phase. Phaser is a
traditional guitar, electric piano and keyboard e ect, but you can also produce
distinctive e ect sounds in combination with drums or other signals.
Rotary
Simulates the accelerating, braking and rotating movements of a Leslie loudspeaker
system. The fast rotation produces a characteristic tremolo e ect. Traditionally, this
is an e ect for electronic organ, however, it can also be used for other signals.
Pitch Shift
This e ect adds another signal to the original signal, below or above the
original pitch.
This e ect is particularly suited to enhance the sound of guitars and vocals
by a soft detuning, or can be used for extreme voice e ects heard in comic or
animated movies.
Delay + Reverb
This is a useful combination of the Delay and Concert e ects which works
particularly well with guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Chorus + Reverb
Combines the Chorus and Club e ects, providing a classic e ect for guitars
and electric pianos.
