The MISC category provides primarily modulated and pitch-varying effects.
C s
Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the other
signals vary in pitch very slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up trac s and to add body to guitars
without colouring the original tone. Chorus can also be used with discretion to thic en a vocal trac .

T em l
Tremolo/Pan creates rhythmic changes in signal amplitude. Tremolo is obtained by setting Phase to 0 degrees, and
affects both channels amplitude simultaneously. If the Phase is set to 180 degrees, an AutoPanner effect is generat-
ed, with the amplitude of one channel being raised whilst that of the other channel is lowered.
i t
Phase controls whether the pitch of both channels is modulated together, or in an opposite direction.
R t
Rotary spea er cabinets were designed to provide a majestic vibrato/choir effect for electronic theatre and church
organs. The most well nown rotary spea er is the Leslie Model 122, which has two counter-rotating elements: a

effects - from subtle detunes to full interval shifts up or down a two octave range. The Pitch Shift effect is a chromat-
ic shifter, meaning all notes of the scale are shifted by the same interval. Pitch Shift is very useful with guitar trac s,
monophonic synth lines, or where special vocal effects are needed.
Det ne
Detune adds a slightly pitch-shifted version of the original source, thic ening the sound. This creates a particularly
effective simulation of double-trac ing. Also a great alternative to the Chorus effect, adding the richness of a chorus
without the audible sweep caused by the chorus rate.
