Effect reference

MODE Section

Mode

Selects between two operation modes: Classic (default setting) and Feedback. Whereas Classic mode generates a cleaner and more precise compression, Feedback mode introduces a subtle change in transient shape and frequency responsiveness. The memory-based envelope detection along with the knee-dependent ratio and gain give this mode a typical vintage feel.

DEPTH Section

Threshold

This value determines the threshold at which the Compressor starts to work.

Knee

This parameter defines how the Compressor starts to work: with a low setting, the transition into compression is soft, whereas with a high setting, the Compressor abruptly starts to work once the threshold is reached.

Amount

The amount of compression effect, often called ratio in typical applications.

TIME Section

Attack

Use Attack to adjust how fast the Compressor reacts on the incoming signal: the more you dial it to the right, the slower it will react. Longer Attack times let more transients through.

Release

The time the compressor will take to stop compressing after the input signal falls below the threshold. With longer release times it takes more time to get back to normal.

OUTPUT Section

Gain

Use Gain to adjust the volume of the resulting signal; sometimes called “make-up gain” as it can be used to compensate for any reduction in the signal induced by the settings above.

INPUT Section

Source

Selects the audio signal you want to use as side-chain signal to control the Plug-in. Available options are None (side-chain deactivated, default setting), the outputs of all (other) Sounds , and the outputs of all (other) Groups.

In the menu these outputs are labeled as follows:

For Groups: [Group name] (e.g., Drums)

For Sounds: [Group name]: [Sound name] (e.g., Drums: Kick)

In the selector display these outputs are labeled as follows:

For Groups: [Group name] (e.g., Drums)

DEPTH Section

Threshold

This value determines the threshold at which the Gate starts to work. Higher values will let only the loudest parts of the signal through the Gate.

TIME Section

Attack

Use Attack to adjust how fast the Gate reacts to the incoming signal: the more you dial it to the right, the slower it will react, resulting in a softer transition between the gated and the not gated parts of the signal.

Hold

The Hold parameter is used to determine how long the gated signal is held; lower values will result in a more "choppy" effect.

Release

The time the Gate will take to release the input signal after it rises above the threshold.

SATURATION

Controls the saturation in the feedback path, producing a dirtier, compressed sound.

Feed

Sets the length of the burst of audio to feed into the delay input whenever the effect is initially activated. Shorter burst lengths (e.g. 100-150ms) are useful for picking out notes or drum hits. Longer burst lengths (up to a second) can be used to repeat musical phrases. Set to maximum (>99%), the feed is continuous, deactivating burst mode entirely and simply feeding the delay whenever the effect is on.

MODE

Mode

Select an effect.

TOUCHSTRIP

Engage

Activates the effect.

Frequency

Controls the frequency of the filters in the filter bank, altering the tonality of the signal.

ECHO

Time

Sets the delay time.

Feedback

Sets the delay feedback.

Pump

Controls the amount of compression applied to the feedback loop.

- In Wet Only mode, the dry signal is muted entirely, which is useful for placing the effect on a send.

COLOUR

Resonance

Controls the resonance of the filters in the filter bank. More resonance emphasizes the "singing" effect.

MODE

Mode

Select an effect.

TOUCHSTRIP

Engage

Activates the effect.

Frequency

Controls the frequency of the ring modulators.

OSC

Spread

Controls the frequency spread of the ring modulators. At low Spread values, the ring modulators converge to a single modulation frequency. At higher Spread values, the oscillator frequencies become further apart.

Sets the smoothing rate of the control position, allowing for pitch slides as you activate different values.

REVERB

Rev Time

Controls the decay time of the plate reverb.

Rev Mix

Controls the dry/wet mix of the plate reverb.

Length

Can be assigned to Length (loop length, by default) or Pitch (relative pitch) using TS Assign.

TS Assign

Assigns the control to Length or Pitch.

STUTTER

Gate

Applies a volume envelope to the loop, exaggerating the "stutter" effect, especially at short loop lengths. Setting the parameter to 100% effectively disables the envelope whereas the gating is most extreme at 0%.

Pitch

Parameter controls playback pitch (relative to pitch when the effect is engaged) when the controls are assigned to Length, and the Length parameter controls loop length when the control is assigned to Pitch. Otherwise each of these parameters has no effect and is respectively hidden.

LOOP

Direction

Controls the looping direction—Forward (always forward), Reverse (always reverse) or Both. In Both mode, direction is forwards by default on engage and whenever the most recent control movement was upwards, or reverse whenever the most recent control movement was downwards. The Direction parameter is available only when the TS Assign is set to Length.

Quantize

Quantizes the loop length and start point to the song position and tempo. When Quantize is off, the loop length is continuously variable and measured in milliseconds, and no quantization takes place. Quantization is especially meaningful if direction is set to Reverse or Both, since it's during reverse playback where a poorly timed loop will sound completely off-time.

MODE

Mode

Select an effect.

TOUCHSTRIP

Engage

Enables and disables the effect.

Position

Controls the tremolo and vibrato rate and depth, within the ranges defined by the Min and Max parameters on the second page.

Sets the vibrato mode. Two are available: Varispeed, which modulates the playback speed of the audio, much like moving the pitch control on a turntable or tape player, and Freq Shift, which uses a modulated frequency shifter. Freq Shift produces a somewhat detuned sound due to the nature of the frequency shifting—low frequencies are more audibly shifted than high frequencies. Varispeed scales pitches evenly across the audible range, but it introduces small fluctuations in timing.

Attk/Rel

Controls the speed at which the effect comes on after turning the effect on and tails off after releasing the effect.

Stereo

Controls the stereo width of the modulation.

DEPTH RANGE

Depth Min

Controls the amplitude of the modulation when the parameter position is set to 0%.

Depth Max

Controls the amplitude of the modulation when the parameter position is set to 100%.

DEPTH RANGE

Rate Min

Controls the rate of the modulation when the parameter position is set to 0%.

Rate Max

Controls the rate of the modulation when the parameter position is set to 100%.

MODE

Mode

Select an effect.

TOUCHSTRIP

Engage

Engages the turntable brake, enabling scratch control. When released, the effect is bypassed entirely.

Position

Controls the brake speed (higher = slower brake), the scratch position (higher = forward) and the delay time (higher = longer delay time).

SWIRL

Delay Time

Controls the delay time range. Longer values produce a delay effect. Shorter values result in a comb filtering effect. The Position parameter acts as a further scale factor on this delay time.

Feedback

Controls the delay feedback.

Freq Shift

Controls a frequency shifter in the delay feedback loop. At 12 o'clock, the frequency shifter is deactivated. Swirling, alien and metallic sounds can be made by enabling the frequency shifter and increasing the feedback.

Wet Level

Controls the level of the delay effect.
