The Transducer effect
The Transducer effects block uses distortion and steep filters to
emulate the sound of radios, phones and devices that generally
degrade the quality of an audio signal.
A note about feedback
Sustained squealing (also known as feedback) can occur when
the Transducer effect is active and the mic is near a PA speaker
or monitor. Each Transducer style has a slightly different suscep-
tibility to feedback. In the case of a particular preset/Transducer
style causing feedback, lower the output level of the Transducer
effect and try raising the Gate Threshold described below.

Style parameter
The Style parameter lets you select from a range of pre-
authored styles. The last style, “Beatbox”, is unique in that it
temporarily overrides the global Tone feature to restore bass
frequencies specifically for creating bass-heavy vocal beatboxing.
Drive parameter*
The Drive parameter adjusts the amount of distortion for the
current style.
Filter parameter*
The Filter parameter adjusts the tone of the current style with
the application of steep filters (EQ). Each style has it’s own
filter sound.
Control parameter
The Control parameter sets Hit on/off status.
See “Assigning Hit effects using the Control parameter”.
