ALESIS GRIP Legacy Series Audio Processor Synthesizer - Manual (Page 22)

4 A Tour of the GRIP
When using the GRIP on
program material – such as
a CD or LP - you should
set the XOVER knob to a
low setting so that the unit
doesn’t process the vocals
or other lead instruments.
For your reference, the
graphs at the right provide
examples of typical
frequency response curves
for bass, kick drums and
vocals.
XOVER OUT Button
This button toggles a high-
pass filter on the main
outputs. When you engage
the button, frequencies
falling below the setting of
the XOVER knob are
removed from the main
outputs (but are still
present in the XOVER
output). This allows you to
separately route the sub-
bass present in the GRIP’s
signal.
When the XOVER button is not engaged, the main outputs
carry the GRIP’s total output signal, limited only by the LO
CUT knob.
SUB BASS LEVEL Knob
This controls output level of the GRIP’s sub-harmonic
synthesizer. This signal consists of the bass frequencies
produced by the GRIP that were not present in the original
signal.
BASS DRIVE Knob
This knob controls the action of a pair of multi-band
limiters acting on the Bass and Sub-Bass signals. You
should treat it as a tone control. Turning the knob clockwise
gives you a rounder sound with longer sustain, and turning
it counterclockwise gives you a faster, more dynamic sound.
