CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE

Fade
creates a crossfade between the old and new delay times. This sounds similar
to time stretching if the delay time is gradually changed. Fade mode is the default
option.
Jump
immediately jumps to the new delay time. Note that this will cause an audible
click if the delay time is changed while delays are sounding. Jump mode corresponds
to the default behavior prior to Live 8. When loading Sets that were made in earlier
versions, Jump will be selected automatically.

Spectrum
The Spectrum Device.
Spectrum performs realtime frequency analysis of incoming audio signals. The results are
represented in a graph, with dB along the vertical axis and frequency/pitch along the
horizontal. The peak levels are retained on the graph until the song is restarted. Note
that Spectrum is not an audio effect, but rather a measurement tool - it does not alter the
incoming signal in any way.
The Block chooser selects the number of samples that will be analyzed in each measurement.
Higher values result in better accuracy, but at the expense of increased CPU load.
Channel determines which channel is analyzed - left, right or both.
The Refresh slider determines how often Spectrum should perform an analysis. As with the
Block parameter, this allows for a tradeoff between accuracy and CPU load. A fast response
time is more accurate, but also more CPU intensive.
