Effects Parameters
8-24
CentrAtten (Attenuation) is the amount the signal level drops as it is panned through the
center of the stereo image. For the smoothest tracking, a widely accepted subjective reference
is -3dB. Values above -3dB will cause somewhat of a bump in level as an image passes
through the center, while values below -3dB will cause a dip. Range is -12 to 0 dB.
Tremolo
Depth controls the amount of attenuation applied when the LFO is at its deepest excursion
point. Range is 0 to 100%.
LFO Phase
shifts the phase of the tremolo LFO relative to the beat reference. Range is 0.0 to
360.0 degrees.
50% Weight
is the relative amount of attenuation added when the LFO is at the -6dB point.
This causes the LFO shape to bow up (positive values) or down (negative values). Range is
-16 to 3 dB.
L/R Phase
sets the phase relationship of the channels. “In” flips the left channel’s LFO out of
phase, with the result that the effect turns into an auto-balancer. “Out” leaves the left LFO
alone.
Pitcher
Pitcher applies a filter to the input signal which has a series of peaks in the frequency
response.
These peaks are normally adjusted so that their frequencies are all multiples of a specific,
selectable frequency, which imposes a strong sense of pitch at the selected fundamental
frequency.
Pitch
. The fundamental pitch imposed upon the input, in MIDI note numbers from C-1 to
G9. Ptch Offst is an offset from the pitch frequency in semitones, from -12.0 to 12.0. It can
be useful to assign pitch bend, a ribbon, or another continuous controller to this parameter
through a MOD.
Odd Wts
, Pair Wts, Quartr Wts, Half Wts are parameters that control the shape of the
frequency response of Pitcher. An exact description of what each one does is, unfortunately,
impossible, since there is a great deal of interaction between them. For more information
