6.5.1 Parameters
Master Section
•
Beat switch
: With the Beat switch you select whether the value in Time control should be
indicated in seconds (Sec) or in beats (Beat), ie in quarter notes.
•
Master Time control
: Determines the maximum delay of the three taps.
•
Master Feedback control
: Defines the feedback intensity.
Echo Section
•
Time control
: Determines the delay of each echo (in percent) relative to the value set in
Time control in the Master section
•
Sensitivity control
: Changes the impact of the control signal (received via Macro Control)
on the echo’s Time control (in percent), by the value you set.
•
Lowpass control
: Determines the cut-off frequency of the Lowpass filter that is applied to the
signal in the feedback loop. The value in Lowpass control can range from 1.0 to 22050 Hz.
•
Highpass control
: Determines the cut-off frequency of the Highpass filter that is applied
to the signal in the feedback loop. The value in Highpass control can range from 1.0 to
22050 Hz.
•
Allpass control
: Determines the cut-off frequency of an Allpass filter, which is similar to
the Allpass 4 function in the Filter Module in the Patch Window. Allpass filters let all
frequencies pass through, but change the signal’s phase depending on the filter frequen-
cy. The Allpass filter produces its most impressive results when the parameters are
modulated, thus creating phasing effects.
•
Gain control
: Defines the output signal’s level of the respective echo (in dB). A value of
-6dB reduces the signal level by half.
•
Pan control
: Positions the respective echo signal in the panorama of the output signal. A
0 value corresponds to a position at the extreme left, 1 a position at the extreme right
and 0.5 to the middle.
•
Feedback control
: Sets the level of an echo’s signal, which is routed back to the input, as
a percentage of the original signal’s level.
