•
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.
•
Cuff
is a distortion inspired by a legendary guitar
effect pedal from the early 1970s.
•
Gain
: offers an adjustable gain level.
Gain
increases the
level of the audio signal. With
Gain Phase
you can
switch the phase of the signal between
Normal
and
Reverse
.
•
Comb + / Comb -
: a comb filter is basically a very
short delay that can be controlled in length and feed-
back. The delay time is so short that you can’t hear its
individual taps but rather a colorization of the original
signal created by peaks or holes in the frequency
spectrum. The frequency of the colorization is set by
the delay length, which is controlled through
Freq
,
while the amount of colorization is set by the Comb fil-
ter feedback, which is controlled through
Feedback
.
Quantum offers two comb filter types (+ and -) which
differ in the shape of the peaks.
•
Bit Crusher
: produces lo-fi sound effects by decima-
ting and truncating the audio signal.
Bits
determines
the bit resolution of the audio signal.
Rate
determines
the amount by which the audio samples are decimated.
At the lowest setting no processing takes place. Higher
settings eliminate more and more of the information
describing the original audio signal, turning it into un-
recognizable noise.
•
Ring Mod
: offers a ring modulator.
Freq
sets the fre-
quency for the ring mod oscillator while
Depth
deter-
mines the intensity of the ring modulation effect.
•
Nave LP 12 / LP 24
: offers a lowpass filter with
resonance as in the Waldorf
Nave
synthesizer. This
filter type was implemented due to compatibility
reasons because Quantum can load sound programs
from
Nave
.
Freq
controls the cutoff frequency while
Reso
controls the emphasis.
•
PPG LP 12 / LP 24
: offers a lowpass filter with
resonance as in the Waldorf
PPG Wave 3.V
synthesizer.
Freq
controls the cutoff frequency while
Reso
controls
the emphasis.
•
Largo LP 12 / LP 24
: offers a lowpass filter with
resonance as in the Waldorf
Largo
synthesizer.
Freq
controls the cutoff frequency while
Reso
controls the
emphasis.
