MIXER PARAMETERS

Effects Level (in Hush; Chorus; Delay; Reverb and Hush; Pitch Shift; Delay; Reverb

configurations)

This controls the level of the entire effect signal. This control should be set

relative to the levels of the Left and Right Direct signals. In configurations

which do not include a master Effects Level, the single effect level parameter

(Chorus Level, Delay Level, etc.) is considered the master Effect Level control.

Left and Right Direct Levels

These controls allow for the left and right Direct signal levels to be set indi-

vidually, thereby allowing for panning of the Direct signal to the left or right

output. These controls are available in all configurations.

Direct Hush

This determines whether the direct signal passes through the digital HUSH

®

section of the Intellifex LTD or bypasses it. Selecting "Post" will pass the Direct

signal through the HUSH

®

system while selecting "Pre" will bypass this section.

(Note: Selecting "Post" converts a stereo direct signal to mono.)

Chorus Level, Delay Level, Reverb Level, etc.

In configurations which include a Master Effects Level control, these control

the level of each individual effect (Chorus, Reverb, etc.). These should be set

relative to each other when defining individual levels. In configurations which

do not include a Master Effects Level control, the individual effect level acts as

a Master effect level.

Left and Right Regeneration (in all configurations except Hush

®

; Reverb )

Configurations which include chorus or delay effects provide individual left

and right regeneration level controls to determine the number of times the

delayed signals are repeated. Regeneration is achieved by feeding the delayed

output back into the input. Higher levels of regeneration will result in more

repeats.

Intellifex LTD software version 1.01 and above includes the added feature of

Regeneration Limiting. This feature guards against the possibility of overload-

ing the processor when using high regeneration levels in configurations where

a combination of multiple voices is panned to the left or right. If the regenera-

tion level is set too high, the Intellifex LTD triggers the Regeneration Limiting

and a limit is internally set for the regeneration. This limit can not be exceeded

by increasing the Regen L or Regen R parameter values in the Mixer section.

If, for example, in the Hush; Chorus; Delay; Reverb configuration, Voice 1 is

panned to the left and the Regen L parameter is set to its maximum level,

panning a second voice to the left regeneration loop will trigger the Regenera-

tion Limiter and reduce the regeneration to a level such that runaway regen-

eration will not occur. The original regeneration level can be reset only by

recalling the preset, or, by accessing the Regen L parameter, decreasing its

value and setting it back to its original value after removing the second Voice

from the regeneration loop. This feature of the Intellifex LTD is particularly

desirable in live situations where panning and regeneration levels may be

controlled by continuous controllers.
