• SR-REDUX
This is a sample-rate reduction effect.
Freq (low to high)
The Freq control adjusts the sample rate. At the lowest point, the sample rate is 27.5 Hz, while it
is 28160 Hz at the highest setting.
Mix (dry to wet)
This control allows you to control the blend between dry (0) and wet (100) signals.
• BIT-CRUSH
Bit-crush combines bit-depth and sample-rate reduction.
Bits (24 to 2)
This parameter sets the bit-depth, from 24 bits to 2 bits.
Freq (low to high)
The Freq control adjusts the sample rate. At the lowest point, the sample rate is 27.5 Hz, while it
is 28160 Hz at the highest setting.
Oscillators (Oscs)
• SIN-OSC
• TRI-OSC
• SAW-OSC
• SQR-OSC
• PULSE-OSC
The Oscillator effects are not strictly effects at all: in fact, they are basic synthesis tools, for creat-
ing basslines and beefing up kicks with extra sub bass, or any number of analog-style sounds.
When an Osc effect is selected on a Pad layer, it replaces the sample (although the sample is
still used for FM – see below). Therefore, if you want to hear the original sound of the layer, you’ll
need to create a new layer with a sound on which to insert the Osc.
There must be a sample
loaded onto the layer for an Osc unit to function.
Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square and Pulse waveform shapes are provided.
These Oscs are affected by pitch modulation from the FX Envelope (with the Pitch depth amount
turned up) and from the Pitch Graphs. Therefore, it is possible to create melodic sequences. This
can be even more interesting when automating the Pitch Graphs with the Instant Graph Record-
er host automation parameter.
While the Oscillators replace the sound of the sample on the layer, the sample does actually
interact with the Oscs in a couple of ways.
