About the Effects
ReCycle features three effect processors, Envelope, Equalizer, and Transient
Shaper, that can be used to further manipulate audio loops.
D D D D
All effects are applied globally, i.e. they will affect all slices equally
in a loop.
D D D D
To be able to apply the effects, Preview mode must be activated.
To activate Preview mode for a file you must first set up the left and right lo-
cators, specify the length and time signature of the loop and create a suffi-
cient number of slices (see the previous chapter). You could also load REX2
(ReCycle’s native file format) files for further processing of course, in which
case these settings have already been made and you can apply effects in
Preview mode directly.

The principle “what you hear is what you get” applies when you ap-
ply effects, like with all the other Preview mode functions.
Open the Effect Panels
The three Effect buttons (from left to right); Envelope, Transient Shaper and
Equalizer.
The three Effects each have their own panel, containing the parameters. By
clicking on one of the effect buttons located to the left of the transport controls
on the Toolbar, the corresponding panel is shown below the toolbar. You can
also open the effect panels from the View menu.

The top to bottom order of the Effect panels also reflects the inter-
nal signal path of the effects.
If all are activated, Envelope is always the first effect in the signal path, the
Transient Shaper is the second, and Equalizer is the last.
