7.3 Multi FX 7 MULTI PARAMETERS
7.3 Multi FX
The T¨ o¨ or¨ o offers time-domain effects that are based on the repetition of the original
signal at different intervals. The delay time of each effect can be modulated by an internal
LFO. The effects are applied to all parts of the multi with the same intensity.
Press the module button AMP to access the parameters of the multi fx.
In normal mode, the Length, Feedback and Mix parameters can be edited via the
second, third and fourth encoder. To edit the Mode, Speed and Depth parameters,
alternate mode has to be enabled via the ALT button.
7.3.1 Length
Sets the delay time and therefore the frequency of the repetitions. The range of this
parameter covers a span from a few milliseconds up to 780ms. Depending on the setting,
you can get results in a wide range from thickening the sound with barely noticable delays
up to rhythmic patterns.
7.3.2 Feedback
The feedback parameter controls the amount of repetitions that are generated. When set
to maximum, infinite repetitions are generated, allowing drones and lush ambient sounds.
7.3.3 Mix
This parameter sets the level of the effect signal that is mixed with the dry signal. The
level of the dry signal is not affected by this setting.
7.3.4 Mode
This parameter chooses which effect is being used:
No effect Mono delay Chorus / Flanger Stereo delay
ˆ
The mono delay repeats the original signal a defined number of times. The repe-
titions are progressively degraded, they lose their loudness, dynamic precision and
some of their frequency content.
ˆ
Although the chorus/flanger effect does not feel like a delay, it uses the same ground
principles. The repetitions are closer and modulated, the perceived effect is a con-
stant variation of the sound spectrum giving it a thicker character. This effect has
multiple uses, try to experiment with different settings!
ˆ
The stereo delay is very similar to the mono delay. The essential difference is the
repetitions come first from the left channel and then from the right channel and so
on. It gives a nice stereo image to the sound.
