Introduction Warbler Warbler is at heart a vibrato effect, with additional controls that allow chorus/flange/ delay type effects, as well as quite unusual hybrid sounds that aren’t easily categorised. The vibrato depth ranges from subtle modulations to extreme pitch effects. The vibrato LFO (low frequency oscillator) can be set from 0Hz to 5kHz and is controlled by 3 knobs to allow accurate control over the whole range.
System Requirements Mac OS X Warbler requires at least Mac OS X version 10.2.8. Version 10.4 or higher is recommended. The plugins are Universal Binaries and so will work on PowerPC or Intel Macs. The Audio Unit version will work in any Audio Unit host.
Your registration key allows you to install Warbler on up to 3 different computers (useful if for example you have a desktop computer in the studio and a laptop for live use).
You’ll find audio samples demonstrating the effects below on the Expert Sleepers website. Vibrato effects When you first load Warbler, its default settings give a simple vibrato effect. The speed of the vibrato is set by the 3 speed knobs, and its depth is set by the 2 depth knobs. For nor- mal vibrato, the range of the second speed knob (‘Fine’) and the first depth knob (‘Fine’)
It amounts to different typical delay times (20-30ms for chorus vs. 1-10ms for flange) and flange having a feedback path. Warbler offers delay times from below 1ms to more than 1s, and offers feedback, so clearly can offer a wider range of effects than is usual for a simple chorus/flange.
Speed LFO The Speed LFO modulates the Speed value set above. It has simple speed and depth controls. Depth The 2 depth knobs together set the main LFO depth. Their values are simply added. The readout above the knobs shows the current depth setting currently being used (NB this also takes into account the effect of the Depth LFO - see below).
brato effects. • 1 - ‘Saw Up’. The pitch rises from a minimum to a maximum value then suddenly falls back to the minimum. • 2 - ‘Saw Down’. The pitch falls from a maximum to a minimum value then suddenly rises back to the maximum.
Preferences Pressing the ‘Prefs’ button brings up a dialog where various prefer- ences are set. These settings are shared by all instances of Warbler, and are not stored with presets. The top section shows the product version. The central section will show your serial number once you’ve bought a...
