Basic mOdules

Sound controls

This chapter describes the various components of the plugin and all of its controls.

Basic modules

There are three main processing modules:

• 

The 

Ensemble

 module is key to producing delay and/or amplitude modulation-based effects, such as 

chorus, ensemble, rotary speaker 

 

and 

tremolo

. It features emulations of vintage units as well as numerous original modes.

• 

The two 

Multi Filter

 modules offer a broad selection of 

Filter types

, including 

resonant filters, formant filters, phasers

  

(some of them modelling classic devices), 

EQs

 and hybrid combinations. Each 

Multi Filter

 can be modulated using either 

 

or both of the two 

Modulators

 (see below).
