Each waveshaper type has its own character and behaviour. However they all consist of the fol-
lowing 2 controls:
Drive (0 dB to 60 dB)
This is the input gain to the effect, in dB.
Tone (dull to bright)
The tone control is a 6 dB per octave lowpass filter. The brightest tone is achieved at the maxi-
mum setting. As the parameter is decreased, more of the high frequency content of the signal is
filtered.
Ring Modulators
• SIN RING
• TRI RING
These ring modulators multiply the audio signal of the layer’s sample with a sine wave (SIN
RING) or a triangle wave (TRI RING), resulting in strange new timbres and harmonics. They both
feature the following controls:
Freq (semitones)
The pitch of the sine or triangle wave, in semitones.
Mix (dry to wet)
This control allows you to control the blend between dry (0) and wet (100) signals.
Bit crushing type effects
• BIT-REDUX
• SR-REDUX
• BIT-CRUSH
These effects degrade the resolution of audio, and are perfect for emulating some of the charac-
teristics of vintage samplers and sampling beatboxes, or simply for mashing your sound beyond
recognition into the realms of raw digital noise.
• BIT-REDUX
This is a bit-depth reduction effect.
Bits (24 to 2)
This parameter sets the bit-depth between 24 bits and 2 bits.
Mix (dry to wet)
This control allows you to control the blend between dry (0) and wet (100) signals.
