Audio Damage Replicant 1.5 - Manual (Page 12)

If the RETRIG button is engaged, Replicant stops playing the repeated audio it is currently playing and begins
playing and repeating the newly selected beat. If the IGNORE button is engaged, Replicant ignores the new
beat trigger and continues playing the audio it is repeating.
Whether or not the MODE buttons have any effect depends on the settings of the LENGTH and REPEATS
controls. For example, if the LENGTH is 1/64 and the REPEATS is 2, then the same thing happens regardless
of how the MODE buttons are set because Replicant will be finished playing two repetitions of 1/64 th of a
measure by the time it reaches the next triggered beat (since the beat triggers can occur at most every 1/16 th
of a measure). On the other hand, if the length is ¼ the seq mode buttons do have an effect, since it always
takes more than 1/16
th of a measure to repeat 1/4 th of a measure.
Direction Controls
The REVERSE MODE buttons and the REVERSE RAND slider cause
Replicant to play repeated audio backwards. The REVERSE RAND
slider determines how likely it is that audio will be played backwards.
If the slider is at the far left, Replicant will never play backwards. The
further that the slider is moved to the rigth, the more likely it is that Replicant will play backwards.
The REVERSE MODE switches let you choose one of two different backwards-playback modes. If the
CONSTANT switch is illuminated, every repetition of a particular repeated beat will be played in the same
direction, either forwards or backwards. The likelihood that the repetitions of a beat will be played backwards
is set by the REVERSE RAND slider. If the SCATTER switch is illuminated, Replicant will possibly reverse
playback direction with each repetition of any repeated beat. The likelihood that the direction reverses is set
by the REVERSE RAND slider. If the slider is set to the far right, the playback direction reverses with each
repetition, so the repeated audio first plays forwards, then backwards, then forwards, etc.
3. Filters
Replicant has two 2-pole filters (four if used in a stereo context), one low-pass filter and one high-pass filter.
These filters can be adjusted to alter the timbre of the looped audio. For instance, you can use the low-pass
filter to create a “darker” sound, or the high-pass filter to create a “thinner” sound.
The graph-like LPF and HPF filter controls set the corner frequencies
and resonance values of the corresponding filter. Dragging the white
circle left and right changes the filter‟s frequency and dragging it up and
down changes the resonance. Since the filters have complementary
frequency responses, the controles in some sense operate opposite from
