Special FX with Speech
The Special FX presets were created to quickly call up
sounds which are notoriously time consuming to re-create
in the post production environment.
How to load a Special FX preset
1. Navigate to the browser and set the Source Filter to
“Speaking” and the Application Filter to “Special FX”,

Tips for designing a Special FX
• Mix: experiment with using “Pre” for FX sends and
turning off the Dry, VirtuaLead and Harmony levels.
• FX Routing: try routing an FX send signal into µMod.
Then route µMod intro Delay, and Delay in Reverb.
• Modulated Noise: select a Transducer Noise Style. Set
the routing to VirtuaLead. Then set the VirtuaLead µMod
send to pre and set the VirtuaLead level to “off”.
• Harmony: create a custom scale in “Scale” mode where
each note is assigned to the same note. This creates
interesting monophonic voices.
