3 WIDTH KNOB AND CV INPUT
The width knob adjusts the overall 'stereoness',
from 0 % (mono mix), through 100 % when set
centrally (no change to the stereo image), and
beyond up to 200 %.
The width CV input is used to modulate this
parameter at 20 %/V. You can achieve extremely
wide stereo sound this way, but keep an eye on
the phase correlation!
4 MID/SIDE TILT KNOBS, SWITCHES AND CV
INPUTS
Enhance 2 uses mid/side processing, a powerful
technique for sculpting stereo material. Two new
channels are derived from the stereo pair: the
mid channel contains only the centred material
that is common to left and right, while the side
channel isolates the stereo content which differs
between both sides. This makes for very intuitive
processing.
The tone of each of these channels can be easily
adjusted using the tilt filters. They smoothly
morph from a +6 dB bass boost and full treble
cut when set fully counter-clockwise, to a full
bass cut and +6 dB treble boost when set fully
clockwise. The centre positions are flat (unity
gain).
The corner frequency for each filter can be
toggled between bass (250 Hz) and treble (1 kHz)
using the range switches.
Modulate the tilt filters using the CV inputs.
Moving from flat to either extreme tilt requires a
5 V of CV.
5 STEREO INPUTS
Connect your pair of stereo source signals here.
The entire signal path is DC-coupled.
Mono signals can be processed using just the left
input socket, as there is normalisation to the
right. Keep in mind that in this case, due to the
lack of stereo content, only the balance and mid
tilt features will be functional.
6 MID/SIDE OUTPUTS
These are the mid/side outputs of the stereo
processor. You can use these for further mid/side
processing using external modules.
Keep in mind that for most stereo signals, the
mid signal will be much stronger, as there is
typically more mono than pure stereo material;
or in other words, a high phase correlation.
Both outputs are inverted with respect to the
input signals.
7 MID/SIDE INPUTS AND STEREO OUTPUTS
This mid/side decoder allows you to convert a
mid/side
pair
independent from the stereo processor, except
for the normalisation from the processor's
outputs to the decoder inputs.
This means that if you do not wish to perform any
additional mid/side processing, you can simply
use the module's stereo inputs and outputs
directly. Otherwise, you can plug your processed
mid/side pair into this decoder and get standard
stereo outputs. External processing of only the
mid or the side channel is possible as well.
Note that the phase correlation meter uses the
decoder's stereo outputs as its source pair. This
means that the meter will also take in account
any external mid/side processing that may
influence the phase correlation.
Also be aware that while Enhance 2's entire
signal path is DC coupled, the meter will only
respond to audio frequencies. To complement
the module's inverting mid/side outputs, this
decoder is inverting as well, restoring the proper
phase relationship of your stereo signals.
