User Interface Front
RANGE
Defines the behavior of the FREQUENCY knob (aka The Big Knob) .
FINE frequency shifting amount range from -200 Hz to 200 Hz
WIDE frequency shifting amount range from -20 kHz to 20 kHz
SYNC frequency shifting amount is synchronized to host tempo. This mode is useful
when creating AM or phaser effects with short feedback delays.
FRE-
QUENCY knob lets you choose the synchronized rate with which a full cycle
completes. (Use SIDEBAND A for upwards sweeping effects and SIDEBAND
B for downwards sweeping.)
Because of how Rack Extensions work internally the FREQUENCY knob will move if
you change the RANGE mode. There are actually three separate frequency shift pa-
rameters which you will also notice if you automate the knob or make MIDI controller
assignments. Among other things, this is necessary to provide the correct tooltip hint
depending on
RANGE mode.
FREQUENCY (shift amount)
The big center knob around which everything revolves: the amount of frequency shift-
ing. Notice that turning the knob clockwise shifts the frequencies up for
SIDEBAND B ,
but down for SIDEBAND A . Even with zero frequency shifting the "phases" of the input
signal frequencies will be distorted (as you will notice if you mix Echobode with the
source signal).
PHASE
When the frequency shifter is at 0 Hz or synchronized to the beat, this knob is useful to
adjust the phase distortion in a precise manner. You can use it to tune the spectral
"notches" and "peaks" that are produced when using
MIX and / or FEEDBACK .
SIDEBAND
Lets you blend the two frequency shifted sidebands. At extreme settings you will have
the cleanest frequency shifting. In between you will obtain a more or less attenuate
