Adding Saturation To The High Register - Elektron Analog Heat +FX Quick Manual

2. Connect your sound source to the Analog Heat +FX and make sure that the volume
of the sound source is as loud 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 13.
4. Start by setting LEVEL to 127, and MIX to 63. Set FREQUENCY to 64, and RESO-
NANCE to 0.
5. Press the [MOD] key, and then use NAVIGATION to access the LFO1 page 2, and
change DEST1 to FILTER PAN and set DEPTH1 to around +64.
6. Press the [MOD] key again and navigate to LFO1 page1 and set SPEED to your liking.
You should now hear a phasing effect applied to your sound. Try playing around with the
LFO waveforms, speed, and depth, as well as the filter frequency. The different Filter
Types have a different impact on the sound when you use the filter frequency panning.

6.2 ADDING SATURATION TO THE HIGH REGISTER

You can use the Analog Heat +FX 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 +FX 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, LEVEL to 127, and MIX 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 adjust the preset volume to match the
active and bypassed state to be able to A/B test correctly.
