54
First band right freq*
The first band’s frequency of the right channel.
Range: 20Hz-16kHz.
First band right bandwidth*
The bandwidth of the first band’s right filter. The bandwidth
is described in octaves.
Range: 0.05-2.5 octaves
Second band is identical to first band.
Connect an LFO or an expression pedal to the
two frequency parameters using the Modifier Matrix.
Mix*
Mixes between direct sound and filter sound.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the block.
Phaser
A Phaser in general is a group of comb filters that are swept
back and forth by an LFO within a certain frequency range.
When the comb filter sound is mixed with the direct signal,
the moving phasing sound is created due to the constant
moving phase cancelation of the combfilter frequencies in
the direct signal. The parameters available in the Modifier
Matrix are marked with an asterisk*.
PHASER
Mod link
Enables you to bypass the internal LFO of the Phaser, and
control the sweep manually through the Modifier Matrix.
When set to “Shape” the Speed entrance in the Modifier
Matrix works as manual control over the Phaser. “Speed”
lets the Phasers internal LFO handle the modulation.
Speed*
Controls the speed of the moving filters in the Phaser.
Tempo
The Tempo parameter sets the relationship to the global
Tempo e.g. if you set it to 1/4T you will get quarter note
triplets of the tapped tempo. 1/4 equals the BPM (tapped
Tempo).
The subdivisions available are, 16/1 (16 bars for performing
one period), 8/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, and 1/2-1/32 in straight,
dotted and triplet notes - 1/4 equals BPM (beats per minute).
If you select “Ignored” the current parameter will use the
Preset value and will not be affected by the Global Tempo.
Depth*
Adjusts the Depth of the phasing filters.
Order
Sets the number of filters used to produce the Phaser. The
three possibilities - 4, 8 and 12 are very different sounding.
Check them out.
Feedback Level*
Controls the amount of feedback in the Phaser. Note that this
parameter can be negative, meaning feedback in reversed
phase.
Range
With the range parameter you can choose whether the Phaser
should work in the low or the high frequency area.
Mix*
Mixes between direct sound and phaser sound.
A Phaser is an additive effect, meaning that to
achieve the best performance a certain amount of
direct signal should be let through. Best Phaser
results are achieved with the Mix parameter set to
40-50%.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the block.
Resonator
The Resonator is a parallel group of four short delays with
massive feedback, each creating a resonant comb filter with
a different family of harmonic frequencies. This adds a sonic
(possibly harmonic) quality to transient signals like drums or
speech. The parameters available in the Modifier Matrix are
marked with an asterisk*.
