the echo effect has a nice trail: keep the amount knob open and pause the player
to hear it.
Delay
the Delay effect is the second delay effect in the croSS fX suite; one of the main
differences between Echo and Delay is that Delay uses a fixed delay time of 1/2
beat; the delay time is in sync to the tempo of the current track. let's have a look
at the parameters you can control with the fX amount knob:
•
the dry/wet range for Delay is 0% (only dry) to 100% (only wet).
•
Delay uses a fixed delay time of 1/2 beat, which is controlled by the current
playback Bpm of the track.
•
the possible feedback values range from 0% to 65% and are equally distributed
over the knobs positions.
•
Delay uses a low-pass filter on the effect signal. It kicks in when the Amount
is at 80%. the start cut-off frequency is 14 kHz and it goes down to 500 Hz, the
more the amount knob is turned clockwise. at the same time the resonance
(Q factor) of the filter increases. The resonance causes those tones near the
cut-off frequency to be emphasized and the other tones to be attenuated. the
effect of the filter is more prominent when the resonance is higher. Further-
more, with higher resonance values, filters tend to produce an oscillation by
themselves; this effect is called self-oscillation and creates interesting sounds.
Phaser
the phaser effect uses a phase-shifted copy of the input and mixes it with the origi-
nal signal. When the original and the phase-shifted signal are combined it creates
one or several notches in the frequency spectrum; those frequencies are elimi-
nated in the output signal. this creates the typical frequency sweep of the phaser.
To get the phase shifted copy the signal is sent through an all-pass filter; this filter
type lets all frequencies pass through, but it changes the phase response.
you can control the following parameters with the fX amount knob:
•
the possible feedback values range from 0% to 75% and are equally distributed
over the knobs positions.
•
the depth can be set between 75% and 100%; the possible values are equally
distributed over the knobs positions.
