Cosmonaut Voice
(RTAS and AudioSuite)
The Cosmonaut Voice plug-in is a radio and
shortwave simulator. Use it to add squelch or
noise to tracks.
How the Cosmonaut Voice is Used
Cosmonaut Voice is, in simple terms, an ampli-
tude-driven noise generator with adjustable sen-
sitivity, selectable noise type (beep or squelch),
and an additional RFI/static noise generator.
Cosmonaut Voice provides controls on-screen
for Threshold, Noise, and Beep/Squelch.
Threshold
Sets the point at which the selected
voice (beep or squelch) is triggered. Turning
Threshold clockwise raises the threshold and in-
creases sensitivity (resulting in more triggering);
turning Threshold counter-clockwise decreases
sensitivity.
Noise
Raises or lowers the amount of RFI/static
noise mixed in with the signal (independent of
the Beep/Squelch or Threshold controls). Turn-
ing Noise to the right adds a more constant
noise “bed” behind the Beep/Squelch effect;
turning Noise to the left decreases the ambient
noise, resulting in sharper Beep/Squelch cut-in.
Beep/Squelch
Sets the voice mode between
Beep (NASA-style radio beep) and Squelch (noise
burst).
