Vacuum VTA Controls
The VTA (Vacuum Tube Amplifier) section acts
as the master volume control for Vacuum, and is
the final place where saturation and distortion
can be introduced to the signal.
Vol Sets the overall volume.
Shape Adds a variable amount of tube satura-
tion to the final output signal.
Vacuum Arp Controls
The Arp section controls the Arpeggiator: a fea-
ture that creates rhythmic arpeggios when one
or more MIDI notes are played and held down.
On/Off Turns the arpeggiator on and off.
Speed Sets the speed of the arpeggio in rhythmic
values that are synchronized to the session
tempo.
In between each setting, there are two unlabeled
settings for triplet and dotted rhythms. Experi-
ment with different settings until you find the
rhythm you want.
