Distortion / Saturation
Parameter
Value range
Unit
Description
Type
OD, DS
Choose between two methods of effect generation with different characteris-
tics: OD (Overdrive) and DS (Distortion). While Overdrive models the character-
istics known from tube amplifiers, Distortion provides the distortion characteris-
tics typical of transistor amplifiers.
Drive
0-100
%
This parameter controls the intensity of the effect (scaling up frequency
amplitudes).
The values range from 0% (linear) to 100% (max. drive amount).
Frequency
250Hz - 8kHz
Hz
This parameter determines the frequency spectrum that is affected by the
chosen effect type. If you prefer to saturate only the lower end of the frequency
spectrum, set the desired filter frequency for the underlying low-pass filter with
a transition steepness of 12 dB.
Post Gain
(-∞) – 0
dB
Adding this effect type will considerably amplify the output signal. With Post
Gain, you can attenuate the mix again at the output channel. The values range
from --∞ (mute) to 0 (min attenuation).
Chorus
Parameter
Value range
Unit
Description
LFO-Wave
Sine, Triangle
Determines the displacement waveform of the underlying low frequency
oscillator (LFO). This is a control curve outside the audible spectrum of human
ears (below 20 Hz, see also modulation rate). With the waveform, you can give
the effect distinctive characteristics. Sine produces smooth characteristics,
while triangle is known for sawtooth-like sound characteristics of the delayed
duplicate.
Rate
0-10
Hz
Controls the speed of the LFO displacement and thus the speed of the fwaver-
ing sound. This parameter controls the length of the period of the LFO wave-
form.
Depth
0-127
Controls the intensity of the effect by adjusting the height of the LFO amplitude.
The parameter values range from 0 (off) to 127 (intense).
Flanger
Parameter
Value range
Unit
Description
Rate
0-10
Hz
Controls the length of the LFO waveform period and thus the frequency of the
generated sweep.
Depth
0-127
Controls the intensity of the effect by adjusting the height of the LFO amplitude.
The parameter values range from 0 (off) to 127 (intense). Always starting at
high frequencies, specify how far the underlying LFO-controlled comp filter is
allowed to advance into the low-frequency spectrum as it sweeps back and
forth.
Delay-Time
0.125 -10
ms
Specify the delay time for the duplicated signal.
Feedback
0-127
Controls the number of signal copies feeding back into the effect unit to
enhance the Comp Filter effect until it fades. Select low fader positions for less
feedback signals and high fader positions for lots of feedback signals and a
strong enhancement of the filtering.
