Saturation - SoundToys echoboy User Manual

THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - THE STYLE EDITOR

SATURATION

The Tweak Menu's saturation controls work in conjunction with the
Saturation knob found on the main Control Panel. These two knobs
allow saturation to be dialed in for either the just delay (the Decay Sat
control) or for the total overall signal (the Out Sat control) independent-
ly. Saturation can add presence, fatness, definition, warmth and charac-
ter to your echoes and can help them sit in the mix in a less (or more)
obvious way.
Below both controls is an LCD-style menu defining the type of satura-
tion - options are:
Clean – Well, a clean sound, with some limiting as saturation or levels
are turned up.
Tape – High frequency compression and low-end distortion typical of
high quality tape.
Warm – A more dramatic warm distortion.
Pump – A dramatic popping, pumping limiter effect.
Dirt – Grungy and dirty, a little harder edged.
Hard Limit – Hard limiting, will pump if you hit it hard.

Soft Limit – A fairly smooth limiter.
Warm Limit – Smooth and warm as you turn up the saturation and
levels.
Bright Limit – A bright-sounding limiter that will enhance air and
breathiness.
Note: If you are creating your own style preset be sure to set the front
panel saturation knob to the default setting (12 o'clock, or straight up),
and adjust the saturation levels using the controls found in the Tweak
Menu.
