4-24
4.0 SnareTools 1
Natural snare reverb with ADJUST providing "crack" control. Detune is added to the
original input before both are sent to the reverb. FX Mix controls the blend of dry vs.
pitched signal to achieve optimal "crack". Stereo In/Stereo Out.
4.1 SnareTools 2
Trippy backwards effect. Reverb feeds the pitch shifter. Mono In/Stereo Out.
4.2 SnareTools 3
Inverse snare reverb with "crack" control via ADJUST. Detune is added to the original
input before both are sent to the reverb. FX Mix controls the blend of dry vs. pitched signal
to achieve optimal "crack". Mono In/Stereo Out.
4.3 TomTomTools
Turns oatmeal boxes into cannons. Stereo In/Stereo Out.
4.4 Slap Up BPM
A tuned percussion plate with a slap predelay. Great for unpitched percussion. Use
ADJUST to tune the pitch of the reverb above the pitch of the percussion.
4.5 Slap Dn BPM
A variation with ADJUST tuning the reverb below the pitch of the percussion source.
4.6 Thick Slap
This preset detunes the reverb above and below the original source. A great alternative
for thickening drum sounds.
4.7 RepeatSlaps
Pitched reverb echoes produce arpeggios. Try this with any short percussive track for an
interesting effect. ADJUST controls the amount of feedback (decay of the arpeggio).
4.8 AutoScratch
Run a rhythm bed or drum machine into this preset and it will "scratch it" in tempo.
ADJUST adds reverb. Press Tap twice to lock in the rhythm.
4.9 Stop n Go
A more radical version of AutoScratch.
0.0 PullThePlug!
Use this special effect to simulate the sound of a tape machine, juke box (etc.) running
down when the power has been cut off in the middle of a tune. Turn ADJUST from 1 to
0 to cut the power, and from 0 to 1 to turn it back on.
0.1 Stargate
A dramatic special effect that transforms a single percussive sound into a spatial wash
of ascending and descending pitches. Try this with single drum hits or short sound effect
samples. ADJUST controls the rate of the ascent/descent.
0.2 WhiteHole
A variation of Stargate that transforms a single sonic event into a randomized series of
pitched echoes. ADJUST controls the pitch and delay deviation.
0.3 MotherShip
Need some processing for lift-off or acceleration effects? This effect delivers. Drive it with
a single impulse or short sound effect to produce a spatial glide that ascends to the limits
of audibility. ADJUST controls the rate of ascent.
