P112 DM:WIDEFLANG SoftSlider LFO RATE 50
MA:B12P1 OVERTHETOP1 MB:B12P2 OVERTHETOP2
This preset can be used with either two mono sources, or one stereo source. One channel glides with
a positive resonance, the other flanges with a negative resonance. This preset sounds extra heavy
with pre-fader sends going to each input. The LFO, which is preset to 0.24Hz with a triangle
waveform, can be slowed down or sped up with the SoftSlider and ultimately determines the speed
of the flange glides in each Machine.
MA: B12P1 OVERTHETOP1
This preset should be used pretty much through the box, i.e. send it a pre-fader signal, then mix only
the returns. The Flange Delay is patched to the LFO. When properly modulated, the flange delay
glides between 9.5ms and 18ms. The base delays are set to 10ms with a positive feedback gain.
Over the top cancellation occurs as the glide delay passes over the 10ms base delay.Remember,
the LFO lives in the Setup domain, so if you load the effect into a setup where there is no LFO activity,
the preset will sound “hollow” and resonant!
MB: B12P2 OVERTHETOP2
Similar to OverTheTop1, except the flange delay glides between .08 ms and 10.7ms. This flange
delay is patched to the LFO. The base delays are set to 10ms, with a negative amplifier gain. Over
the top cancellation occurs as the glide delay passes over the 10ms base delay. The channel outputs
are reversed such that the left input will pass through to the right output and vice-versa.Remember,
the LFO lives in the Setup domain, so if you load the effect into a setup where there is no LFO activity,
the preset will sound “hollow” and resonant!
P113 DM:X-TRAFFIC SoftSlider DELAY MACH B 50
MA:B12P4 EKOZ MB:B12P0 SKY DELAYS
This preset has cross panning (ABAL and BBAL) patched between the source inputs of each
Machine. That is, the left input signal will pan between Machine A and Machine B; the right input will
do the same thing in the other direction. One idea might be to take a pair of related tracks (say a
couple of different sounding keyboards) and auto — “cross traffic” them between Machine inputs.
The rate of the input pan is set by the LFO. Remember, the LFO (set to 0.14Hz with a triangle
waveform) is also patched to the flange glides in both Machine A and Machine B. The SoftSlider will
increase and decrease the Left and Right Delay outputs in Machine B.
MA:B12P4 EKOZ
EKOz makes use of the flange gliding delay and several recurring echoes. Real Lexicon
meat and potatoes effect.
MB: B12P0 SKY DELAYS
This preset combines a bit of giding delay along with all sets of delays. Delays 1 and 2 are set short
with feedback and “tuned” diffusion gains. Delays 3 and 4 are also set short and crossfeed into 2 and
1, respectively. The is a small amount of post delay (LDLY and RDLY), and these two post echoes
are patched to the SoftSlider. Use the SoftSlider parameter to adjust post delays to match the tempo.
When the SoftSlider is set to 0, Sky Delays is sort of a chorused cluster echo - very similar to a bright
resonant small room. Beautiful effect on stacked vocals.
P114 DM: GEARUP SoftSlider INPUT PAN 0
MA:B15P3 UP SHIFT MB:B15P5 EKO SHIFT
The SoftSlider controls the input routing from each input to each processor. The default is Left In /
Right In to Mach A / Mach B. The Meters are set to read each of their respective inputs which becomes
integral to the way EKO Shift works.
MA: B15P3 UP SHIFT
A sweet sounding microshift up +7cents. There is a slight “chorus edge” due to a modest amount
feedback around a 0ms delay line.
MB: B15P5 EKO SHIFT
The Left-Meter is negatively patched to the feedback (FBK) parameter, such that when signal is
present, delay feedback is reduced; when the signal disappears, feedback is increased. This is a
very interesting effect when the delay fits the beat of the music.
