Harmonic Exciter; Envelope Filter - Art SGX-2000 User Manual

NOTES:
1) The Tube Drive Contour control on the front panel does not do anything when a
tube distortion is not part of the effect chain.
2) The Bite parameter of the distortion effect does not do anything when a tube
only distortion is present in the effects chain.
3) You may also use the DRIVE control on the front panel of the SGX 2000 to
adjust the amount of saturation in the distortion.
4) Use the Tube CONTOUR control to adjust the Response/frequency/characteristic
sound of the tube.

HARMONIC EXCITER

[HAR-EXCITER], [EXC]
Parameter:
RANGE: OFF to 100% in 3% increments [34%]
Use the Harmonic Exciter when you want to enhance or add life to an instrument
and add clarity to vocals in a mix. As you turn the Range parameter up, the
effect the exciter has on the signal increases.
The exciter in the SGX 2000 is integrated within the distortion section. Located
between the tube and solid state distortions circuits, different distortion types
are enhanced in extraordinary ways. Applied to Turbo Tubes for instance, it adds
thickness to distortion. It acts like a "harmonic superdrive" control with Solid
Super. Add it with Solid Warm type and it brings out the growl of the distortion.

ENVELOPE FILTER

[ENVLP FILTER], [ENV]
Parameters:
TYPE: = ULTRA, SUPER, MEDIUM, NARROW, X15 SWP, RVRS LO, RVRS HI, OFF [ULTRA]
THRESH: = 0 to 100% in 3% increments [90%]
ATTACK: = 360, 180, 120, 80, 50, 40, 30ms [40ms]
TUNE = 120 to 3200Hz (64 steps) [1079 Hz]
The Envelope Filter algorithm provides seven filter sweep ranges producing a
variety of WAH WAH effect sounds sweeping from low to high and high to low. Set
the Type to select the sweep width needed. Ultra has an extremely wide range,
Super a standard sweep, Medium a little less and Narrow for a tight frequency
range. When you select the X15 Swp, the SGX is to be controlled by the Ultrafoot.
The RVRS settings sweep from high frequency to low frequency. The HI is a wide
sweep and the LO is a narrow sweep. Set the Threshold parameter to trigger the
sweep. Attack sets how fast the filter responds to playing. Adjust your
frequency sweep window with the Tune parameter.
NOTES:
1) The actual input level after the Drive control is used to trigger the envelope
filter.
