Master controls
Out Gain
This control adjusts the overall output level of Maul, useful for attenuating the gain added by its
drive stages.
Mix
The Mix control sets the balance between the original input signal (towards the left of the control)
and the processed signal (towards the right of the control).
Limit
Activating the Limit button engages a soft limiter on Maul's output. Note that the signal can still
exceed 0db if it contains very fast attacks.
Saturate
The Master section's Saturate button activates a saturation circuit which is applied to the entire
output signal. The saturation behaviour is dependent on the signal level. Note that this function is
not a peak clipper - the signal can still exceed 0dB.
Hi Def
Enabling the Hi Def button results in processing audio internally at a higher sample-rate,
minimising aliasing artifacts. The sound quality is better but comes at the expense of higher C PU
usage.
Bypass
C lick this button to bypass Maul, so that the input signal is passed to the output unaffected.
Learn
This button activates MIDI Learn mode, which allows you to map MIDI C C s (continuous
controllers) to Maul's parameters.
