The routing of effects is based around 16 stereo FX buses. Each effect has an input bus on the top left and an output bus on the top right. You can change the order of these effects once they are added. The effects are processed in the order found in the mixer, from top to bottom. This means you can have several effects chained in serial on 1 bus and change the order in which they process the audio. Alternately you could also have several effects reading the same bus in parallel.
The numbered On/Off button turns the effect On/Off. When off the effect is bypassed but still sends audio to the output bus.
Note: When any lighter control in an effect (for example "room" in GVerb) is changed, it will cause the effect to temporarily cut out. This is because a new effect has to be created with the new value and the old one deleted.
If you send a MIDI Program change to the effect's in port & channel then it will recall that preset. You can find the MIDI In settings in the Preset Manager menu.
GVerb
A two-channel reverb based on the "GVerb" LADSPA effect by Juhana Sadeharju (kouhia at nic.funet.fi).
- IN - amp of input signal.
- room - size of the room.
- time - reverb time.
- damp - high frequency rolloff. 0 damps the reverb signal completely and 1 not at all.
- dampIn - same as damp control but on the input signal.
- spread - control on the stereo spread and diffusion of the reverb signal.
- dry - amount of dry signal.
- early - amount of early reflection level.
- taill - amount of tail level.
- OUT - amp of output signal.
- highPass - low frequency damping on the input signal. The high pass filters frequency below it.
- delayL - post delay on the left channel.
- delayR - post delay on the right channel.
FreeVerb
FreeVerb is Blackrain's reverb coded from experiments with Faust.
- IN - amp of input signal.
- mix - dry/wet balance.
- room - room size. Range 0..1
- damp - Reverb HF damp. Range 0..1
- OUT - amp of output signal.
- hi pass - low frequency damping on the input signal. The high pass filters frequency below it.
- low pass - high frequency damping on the input signal. The low pass filters frequency above it.
- delayL - post delay on the left channel.
- delayR - post delay on the right channel.
PitchShifter
A time domain granular pitch shifter. Grains have a triangular amplitude envelope and an overlap of 4:1.
- IN - amp of input signal.
- pitch - the steps of the pitch shift.
- rand P - the maximum random deviation of the pitch.
- rand T - a random offset of time dispersion in seconds is added to the delay of each grain. Some dispersion can alleviate a hard comb filter effect due to uniform grain placement. It can also be an effect in itself. Time dispersion can be no larger than window size.
- size - the size of the grain window in seconds.
- OUT - amp of output signal.
Delay
An all pass delay line with linear interpolation.
- IN - amp of input signal.
- mix - dry/wet balance.
- time - delay time in beats or seconds.
- beats - set the units of delay time to beats or seconds.
- decay - time for the echoes to decay by 60 decibels.
- OUT - amp of output signal.
Drive
A distortion effect, which cross-fades between 5 different wave-shaping functions.
- drive - amount the signal is driven before been distorted.
- type - cross-fade between the 5 types of distortion: tanh, soft, distort, clip and fold.
- OUT - amp of output signal.
Ring Mod
A Ring Modulation effect.
- Freq - frequency of the oscillator.
- Mix - dry/wet balance.
- OUT - amp of output signal.
