THE BLOCKS

Example: If LFO phase is set 180º, the Left and Right will be
exactly opposite.

LFO PHASE

Pan Center
Using this parameter, you can move the center of the Panner.
NOTE: Large increments of the Pan Center, in combination
with a broad Depth, will cause the Panner to pan beyond a
normal stereo image.
Width (Only in Surround Panner)
Controls the Width of the Panner. When Width is set to more
than 100%, the Panner will pan beyond a normal stereo
image. Check it out.
Mix*
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the block.

Stereo Enhancer

The Stereo Enhance sub-algorithm is very simple. It is
widening the stereo image by adding small amounts of delay.
The parameters available in the Modifier Matrix are marked
with an asterisk*.

STEREO ENHANCE

Mix*
Mixes between direct sound and effect.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the block.

EQ

Number of blocks: 1
Processing power: 19-22% per block
The EQ block contains two different sub-algorithms: Fixed
five band parametric EQ and modulatable four band
parametric EQ. Both of these EQs are true stereo.

Fixed parametric

The parametric EQ contains two shelving filters (#1 and #5)
and three bell filters (#2, #3, #4).
A low shelving filter is a filter that works from a certain
target frequency on down, meaning everything below the
target frequency will be adjusted. A high shelving filter is
equal to low shelving but now all the frequencies above the
target are adjusted.
A bell filter is a filter that works around a target. This means
that a certain number of the adjacent frequencies are
adjusted. The affected number of adjacent frequencies is
adjusted by the BW (bandwidth) parameter. The parameters
available in the Modifier Matrix are marked with an
asterisk*.

PARAMETRIC EQ

Freq 1-5
Use the freq parameter to set the target frequency of the
current band.
Slope/BW (bandwidth) 1-5
Use the Slope parameter to adjust the steepness of
the shelving filter. Bandwidth adjusts how broad the bell
filters are.
Gain 1-5
Use the gain to boost or cut the target frequency. All filters
can boost or cut +/-12dB.
Mix*
Mix between direct sound and effect.
