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

Left/Right Direct Levels

These controls allow for the left and right Direct signal levels to be set
individually, 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 Online 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.

The Intellifex Online provides a

Regeneration Limiting feature, which guards

against the possibility of overloading the processor when using high
regeneration levels in configurations where a combination of multiple voices
is panned to the left or right. If the regeneration level is set too high, the
Intellifex Online 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
Regeneration Limiter and reduce the regeneration to a level such that
runaway regeneration 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
Online is particularly desirable in live situations where panning and regen-
eration levels may be controlled by continuous controllers.
