XFX
XFX stands for ‘EXTREME EFFECTS’… it lives up to the name, as we’ll now explain.
Applies to: Lead Vocal
MIDI Voices
XFX Style
There are seven different XFX styles. You can choose between a Stutter effect, Chopper effect, Ring Modulation,
Flanging and even a SideChain Pumping Compressor. Each XFX Style has two dedicated mod parameters that
you can apply to tailor the XFX in question to suit your current inspiration.
XFX Style: Stutter
Stutter is an extreme effect that chops incoming audio into smaller time
divisions and quickly repeats those divisions, resulting in a stuttering
sound. At the largest time divisions you’ll hear the audio as rhythmic
repeats, while at the smallest time divisions, the audio cycles so quickly
that it produces a different pitched tone (or buzz) for each division.
Stutter will armed for sampling your Lead Vocal as soon as you select the
Style. Just vocalize and stuttering will begin!
Stutter Mod 1:
Division
Stutter Mod 1
controls the size of the stutter division in real time. The
Quarter Note
division is indicated by a
white LED, while all other divisions are light blue LEDs.
Stutter Mod 2:
Level
Stutter Mod 2
changes the level of the stutter
audio, relative to your Lead Vocal.
On the ring, Level is indicated from one up to all
LEDs lit up in Cyan.
Range: Off, -10 to 0 dB
Pausing Stutter
You can put the Stutter effect on hold at any time by turning the XFX toggle off. Your stutter sample won’t be
lost while the effect is turned off.
