Sound Parameters
123 Iridium Manual
•
PickUp simulates an electrostatic pickup. This dri-
ve type sounds very interesting, when the audio
signal level is modulated.
•
Diode generates a typical diode distortion.
•
Crunch is a sinusoidal waveshaper. It generates
FM-like sounds that can be extremely distorted.
Tap on the corresponding effect parameter to open a pop-
up menu for further settings (not all settings are available
for all effect parameters):
•
Normal : parameter change is about 1%.
•
Fine : parameter change is about 0.1%.
•
Super Fine : parameter change is about 0.01%.
•
Set Default : sets the parameter to its default value.
•
Set Last Loaded : resets the parameter to the last
loaded value from the current sound patch.
•
Modulations : opens the Mod menu to sets up a modu-
lation for this parameter. How to set up a modulation
can be read in ‘The Modulation Mode’
chapter.
•
MIDI Learn CC : activates MIDI Learn, which maps an
incoming MIDI control change to this parameter.
Compressor
An Compressor reduces signals which exceed a certain
Threshold level in volume by an adjustable Ratio . The
speed of this level reduction is controlled by Attack , when
the signal starts to exceed the threshold, and Release ,
when it drops below the threshold again.
Ratio
Sets the amount of gain reduction (compression) applied
to signals above the set threshold. A ratio of 4:1 means that
for every 4 dB the input level increases, the output level
increases by 1 dB.
