Available algorithms
There are 10 effect instances available in total ( 5 per Bus ), but only 8 different algorithms since there are some dupli-
cates for more commonly used ones ( EQ and Dynamics ).
Distortion
The Distortion is an emulated diode-clipper style distortion effect with pre compression and optional crossover.
The Distortion effect
The following parameters are available:
Pre amplification
• Dynamics - (Single-knob compressor) Turn clockwise to increase the amount of compression for the input signal
prior to clipping.
• Before - Decides where the compressor is located in the signal flow. This makes a difference only when Crossover
is active. If Crossover is disabled, this parameter does nothing and compression is performed before clipping;
• Clip - Compression is done after the signal is divided into two bands and applied only on the higher band
(the Clipper’s input) and before clipping.
• Split - Compression is applied before the signal is split into two bands, so affects Higher and Lower bands.
Crossover
• Enable - Enables the 2-way Crossover . When activated, the signal is split into two separate frequency bands;
Lower , which bypasses the Clipper and goes directly to the Distortion’s output. Higher , which goes into the
Clipper , so only higher tones are distorted while lower frequencies remain intact. If Crossover is disabled then
other parameters from this section remain inactive.
• Split Freq. - Decides the frequency where the signal is divided into two bands.
• Gap - Sets the gap between Lower and Higher bands;
• If the Gap = 0 then the two bands are conjoined.
• If the Gap > 0 then the bands are disjoint and there’s a gap between Lower and Higher bands; the bigger
the value, the greater the gap (expressed in Octaves ).
• If the Gap < 0 then the bands overlap. The lower the value, the bigger the common part of the bands
(expressed in negative Octaves ).
