Complex Effects
These algorithms create walls of sound or rhythmic patterns, depending on the settings. They can sound like a
combination of rotary speakers and reverb. Mod rate is set by the PDL/TIME knob and TAP footswitch.
8.
Universe M1
. This complex algorithm has prominent phasing and panning. The CHARACTER knob controls
phasing and panning depth.
9.
Universe M2
. A flanger-based complex effect. The CHARACTER knob controls mod depth.
Freeze Reverbs / Microsamplers
A set of improved algorithms from the Shift Line Force. The DECAY knob now works as a wet/dry signal mix. The
CHARACTER knob controls an additional resonant low-pass filter which works across the whole frequency range and
can completely mute the frozen signal. The HPF and LPF knobs work as usual, allowing for fine tweaks to the frozen
signal.
The signal is initially captured and frozen as soon as you press the ON footswitch. Once you’ve captured a signal
fragment, you can press the TAP footswitch to capture a new one. Press and hold the HOLD footswitch to detune the
frozen signal in the direction set by the PDL/TIME knob (down if under 12 o’clock, up if over 12 o’clock).
10.
Force Roar
. An octave-up microsampler with an organ-like sound character.
11.
Force OctDn
. An octave-down microsampler for hefty sound textures.
Banks & Programs
The Astronaut V has 33 program slots, which are split into 3 banks of 11 programs. To select a bank, move the BANK
switch to the desired position:
●
UP:
UD (User Defined).
The LED above the ON footswitch glows purple. This is essentially a “favorites” bank.
You can freely add programs and algorithms to this bank. The first program in the UD bank is also the Quick
Access program which you can engage by double-tapping the ON footswitch or via external control.
●
CENTER:
FX (Effects).
The LED above the ON footswitch glows red. This bank contains various effects: delays,
arpeggiators, complex effects and microsamplers. The algorithms in this bank have fixed positions.
●
Вниз:
RV (Reverberation).
The LED above the ON footswitch glows blue. This bank contains various reverb
algorithms ranging from traditional to experimental. The algorithms in this bank have fixed positions.
Turn the PROGRAM knob to select a program within the currently selected bank.
User Defined
(UD)
“Favorite” programs which can be freely added or overwritten.
By default, the UD bank has the programs listed
below. You can freely change each of those programs (including switching to a different algorithm).
The LED above the ON footswitch glows purple.
To select a program, set the PROGRAM knob to the desired position.
Programs in this bank correspond to MIDI PC messages 22-32. The values are shown in brackets in the list below.
