0.0 PullThePlug!
Use this special effect to simulate the sound of a tape machine, juke box (etc.) running
down when the power has been cut off in the middle of a tune. Turn ADJUST from 1 to
0 to cut the power, and from 0 to 1 to turn it back on.
0.1 Stargate
A dramatic special effect that transforms a single percussive sound into a spatial wash
of ascending and descending pitches. Try this with single drum hits or short sound effect
samples. ADJUST controls the rate of the ascent/descent.
0.2 WhiteHole
A variation of Stargate that transforms a single sonic event into a randomized series of
pitched echoes. ADJUST controls the pitch and delay deviation.
0.3 MotherShip
Need some processing for lift-off or acceleration effects? This effect delivers. Drive it with
a single impulse or short sound effect to produce a spatial glide that ascends to the limits
of audibility. ADJUST controls the rate of ascent.
0.4 XplodeDown
Use this preset to add more drama to special effects (or even single drum hits). This preset
transforms the input source into an eerie downward glide with ADJUST controlling the
rate of the glide.
0.5 Xplode Up
A variation of XplodeDown with the input source transformed into an upward glide.
0.6 DialogCloner
A special effect for speech, this preset creates the effect of several people speaking at
once. Four additional voices are added above and below the pitch of the input source.
ADJUST controls the tuning spread of the four clones.
0.7 Toon Voices
Changes the character of vocals for special effect dialog tracks. ADJUST selects several
different pitch shift amounts to create a range of characters from scary monsters, to
chipmunks, to talking bees.
0.8 Evil Voice
Downward pitch shift and a touch of reverb are used to turn a normal male speaking voice
into something decidedly dark and nasty. ADJUST allows you to dial the appropriate
touch of evil.
0.9 Evil Echoes
This special effect has echoes that change pitch as they repeat. ADJUST controls the
amount of shift per repeat. 1-49=descending pitch, 50=no pitch change, 51-100=ascend-
ing pitch.
1.0 Pitch Across
A single note produces a 4-voice panned delay. ADJUST controls the amount of pitch shift
for the four voices. Small values produce detuning. The maximum value (100) produces
a major arpeggio. The delay rhythm is tempo-controlled. Press Tap twice to lock in with
the beat.
