Fade - Elektron Analog Heat MKII User Manual

7.7.1 FADE

FADE offers the possibility to fade in/out the LFO modulation. Positive values give a fade-out, negative
values give a fade-in. A middle position (0) results in no fade in/out. The fade curve is restarted each time
the LFO triggers. For more information, please see "7.4.4 TRIG" on page 23. (-64–63)
7.7.2 MODE
Selects between four different modes of LFO behavior.
• FREE is the default free-running mode. The LFO run continuously, never restarting or stopping.
• TRIG The LFO run continuously, but restarts on the event of an envelope trig.
• HOLD The LFO run continuously, but on the event of an envelope trig, the output LFO level is latched
and held still until the next envelope trig
• ONE The LFO does nothing until the event of an envelope trig. It then runs for one complete cycle and
then stops. This setting makes the LFO function similar to an envelope.
• HALF The LFO does nothing until the event of an envelope trig. It then runs for a one-half cycle and
then stops.
7.7.3 DEST1
Sets the modulation destination of the LFO. For more information, please see "APPENDIX B: MODULA-
TION SOURCES AND DESTINATIONS" on page 30.
7.7.4 DEPTH1
Sets the amount of how much the LFO affects the modulation destination. A negative value gives an
inverted modulation. (Range -128.00–127.00.)
8. TIPS & TRICKS
Here you can find a couple of different examples of some of the things you can do with the Analog Heat.
8.1 ADDING SATURATION TO THE HIGH REGISTER
You can use the Analog Heat to add saturation to the high-frequency register of a full range mix. This is
useful when you want to introduce some subtle harmonics to the mix, without distorting the overall sound.
1. Select the SATURATION circuit and the HIGH PASS 2 filter.
2. Connect your sound source to the Analog Heat and make sure that the volume of the sound source is as
strong as possible.
3. Make sure the input level is correctly set. For more information, please see "3.2 SETTING THE INPUT
SENSITIVITY LEVEL" on page 10.
4. Start by setting DRIVE to 0, WET LEVEL to 127, and DRY/WET to 0. Set the filter RESONANCE to 0 and
FREQUENCY to 100.
5. Increase DRIVE until you start to hear a little saturation in the higher registers, but not so much that the
saturation gets too dominant. The processed signal is lower than the bypassed signal, so you should ad-
just the preset volume (For more information, please see "7.1.4 VOL" on page 20.) to match the active
and bypassed state to be able to A/B test correctly.
6. Tweak DRY/WET and DRIVE until you find a nice balance and the sound you want. If you want to use the
EQ, remember that only HIGH EQ affects the sound, since the low frequencies are filtered out.
8.2 PSEUDO-COMPRESSION
You can use the Analog Heat to emulate a compressor and/or expander by using the Envelope Generator.
This is useful if you want to add some extra pump to drums, or to liven up a flat sound. In this example, you
should use a highly dynamic sound source, with sharp transients, such as drums.
1. Select the CLEAN BOOST circuit and disable the filter by pressing both [FILTER TYPE] keys at the
same time. All filter type LEDs should be turned off.
2. Connect your sound source to the Analog Heat and make sure that the volume of the sound source is as
strong as possible.
3. Make sure the input level is correctly set. For more information, please see "3.2 SETTING THE INPUT
SENSITIVITY LEVEL" on page 10.
4. Start by setting DRIVE to 0, WET LEVEL to 127, and DRY/WET to 127.
