to volume changes in the input signal. Together, they shape the dynamic nature of the
distortions. Note that if Envelope is set to zero, they will have no effect.
Cut or boost the device's nal signal level with the Output dial.
Aliasing can be reduced by enabling Hi-Quality mode, which can be accessed via the
(PC) /

(Mac) context menu. This improves the sound quality, particularly with high
frequency signals, but there is a slight increase in CPU usage.

EQ Eight
The EQ Eight Effect.
The EQ Eight effect is an equalizer featuring up to eight parametric lters per input channel,
useful for changing a sound's timbre. It extends the functionality of the former EQ Four
device, and is fully backward-compatible with EQ Four presets.
The input signal can be processed using one of three modes: Stereo, L/R and M/S. Stereo
mode uses a single curve to lter both channels of a stereo input equally. L/R mode provides
an independently adjustable lter curve for the left and right channels of a stereo input; M/S
mode (Mid/Side) provides the same functionality for signals that have been recorded using
M/S encoding.
When using the L/R and M/S modes, both curves are displayed simultaneously for reference,
although only the active channel is editable. The Edit switch indicates the active channel,
and is used to toggle between the two curves.
The lters can switch between six responses. From left to right in the display, these are:
