2.9 Spin & Duck ADJUST: Spin Rate 0–127
In this preset, panning is combined with 6-voice chorus delays and reverb to produce a
rich spacious effect. ADJUST controls the panning rate. 0 = slow, 127 = fast. The delays
are tempo controlled and ducked by input level. They won’t be heard during active
passages, but will fade up in the spaces between phrases.
3.0 MultiFxFade ADJUST: FX Mix 0–100
In this preset, the AR envelope is used to create a moderate fade-in of chorus, delay and
reverb effects. ADJUST controls the mix of chorus/delay and reverb. The Soft Row has
all the essentials for tweaking the three basic effects, as well as the AR envelope
parameters so you can fine tune the fade in rate and threshold. Try this with guitars and
keys.
3.1 Ghost ADJUST: FadeShape 0–100
Source material is accompanied by a ghostly image of itself. Not quite reverb, not quite
backwards audio. ADJUST controls the contour of the fade in of the effect. This preset
works well with short percussive sources as well as more sustained ones.
3.2 Ghost Flange ADJUST: FadeShape 0–100
This is a variation of Ghost with some flanging added. Try this with lead guitar. ADJUST
controls the contour of the fade in.
3.3 GhostVibrato ADJUST: FadeShape 0–100
Another Ghost variation. This one will produce a delayed vibrato on sustained notes.
ADJUST controls the contour of the fade-in.
3.4 AutoFadeIn 1 ADJUST: FX Mix 0–127
This preset senses input level to produce an automatic volume swell into a chorus/delay
reverb effect. Sounds great with guitar and keyboard chords.The fade in rate is moderate.
ADJUST controls the mix of chorus/delay and reverb effects. The Soft Row includes
parameters for all three effects as well as the envelope parameters which set the
characteristics of the fade-in.
3.5 AutoFadeIn 2 ADJUST: Fade Rate 0–100
This variation of AutoFadeIn allows you to set the fade-in rate with ADJUST.
3.6 AutoFadeIn 3 ADJUST: Rvb Lvl 0–127
This variation of AutoFadeIn 1 has shorter delay times and a lighter touch on the chorus
effect. ADJUST sets the mix of chorus/delay and reverb effects.
3.7 ChordSwells ADJUST: Rvb Lvl 0-127
A more dramatic version of AutoFadeIn. The fade time is quite long, and the chorus and
delay effects are fairly strong. Try it with sustained piano or guitar chords. ADJUST
controls the mix of chorus/delay and reverb.
3.8 BowedChords ADJUST: FX Mix 0–100
A more subtle version of AutoFadeIn. Chorusing is turned off and delays are more
subdued. This is essentially a volume swell into reverb. Use it to pull cello-like tones from
sustained notes or block chords. Very nice with grand piano. ADJUST sets the mix of
clean echoes and reverb.
3.9 BowedEchoes ADJUST: FX Mix 0–100
In this preset, input level controls echo feedback as well as triggering the fade-in.
Feedback is reduced when the signal is loud and turned up when the signal fades out.
This produces echoes with soft attacks that appear when the input signal drops. ADJUST
controls the mix of echoes and reverb.
