Both
Repeat
For this modifier the selection parameters behave somewhat differently. First of all, only
the Center and Falloff parameters are used. The Spread parameter has no effect. The
center frequency sets the upper limit of the partial spectrum that will be repeated. All the
partials above this limit will be replaced by copies of the low spectrum partials and offset in
frequency by multiples of the center frequency. The
Falloff
controls the progressive
attenuation of these copies. The first specific parameter
Harmonic
forces the center
frequency to the closest harmonic frequency when set to +100. This has the effect of
ensuring that the partial copies remain harmonic if the originals where. At value -100 the
center frequency is unconstrained. The second specific parameter
Mix
controls the dry /
wet mix of the effect.
Mirror
The Mirror modifier has a very similar effect to the Repeat modifier but instead of copying
the partials with offset, it also flips the partial frequencies every odd numbered copy. Odd
numbered copies thus have their lowest frequency partials equal to the highest frequency
partials of the original partials. However complicated this may seem, this mimics the effect
of sampling the wave form with a sampling rate equal to the center frequency.
Randomize
The Randomize modifier is a fast way to create brand new wave forms by adding noise to
both level and pitch of the partials. The effect does not vary over time. The
Amount
parameter controls the amount of shuffling both in level and pitch while the second specific
parameter
Seed
, determines the noise distribution. Changing this will completely change
the random values in unpredictable ways.
