REMIX EFFECTS

4.0 Super Ball!
This preset will let you turn any source into a bouncing ball. Run a
track or instrument, click ADJUST to 1 and back to 0 and sit back.
The effect captures a stereo sample on the fly, loops it and
decreases the loop size as it repeats. (Reverb is added while the
loop plays.) When the loop size gets to zero, the effect resets and
starts sampling the inputs again. The loop size is tempo controlled.
Press Tap to synchronize it with rhythmic material.
4.1 LevlStutter
Delays are driven by input level (high level = shorter delays). The
delays are also driven by tempo. Works best for deconstructing
dialog, but is also interesting with any audio with lots of holes.
4.2 Freeze 2 of 8
This stereo preset automatically freezes 2 beats out of every 8. Press
Tap to synchronize the effect with the source material. ADJUST lets
you set the feedback level when the loop is off. Be sure to try this
one with a dance mix, or MIDI drum patterns.
4.3 Freeze 2over3
A slightly more diabolical version of Freeze 2 of 8. This preset also
loops 2 out of every 8 beats, but the left and right delays are set to
different rhythmic values. The result is a 2 against 3 pattern that
alternates between the left and right channels. ADJUST sets the
feedback for both delays while the loop is off.
ADJUST: Bounce It 0–1
ADJUST: Mstr Fbk 0-100
ADJUST: Feedback 0–100
ADJUST: Feedback 0–100
4.4 Freeze&Speed
This preset allows you to grab and freeze portions of the source
material on the fly. Click ADJUST from 0 to 1 to freeze the loop. It
will repeat infinitely, but will grow more diffused as it repeats. Click
ADJUST back to 0 to turn the loop off. The loop will speed up for a
short time before turning off. The AR Release parameter (found in
the Soft Row with other goodies) sets the speed-up time. The loop
size is tempo controlled. You can change it on the fly by pressing
Tap while the loop is off.
4.5 ADJToFreeze
Click ADJUST to create an infinite stereo loop of the input source.
Click it again to stop the loop. A little reverb is added while the
loop is on. The loop size is tempo controlled. Change it on the fly
by pressing Tap while the loop is off. The preset is set to freeze 1
beat, but you can set any rhythm you want by changing the Soft
Row delay parameter values.
4.6 ADJToFreeze2
The same basic loop effect as ADJToFreeze, but the delays are set
to different values for the left and the right side. In this preset a 2
against 3 pattern will be created.
4.7 FSw2 Freeze
A very useful infinite delay effect. Press Tap to establish the tempo.
Use ADJUST to set the feedback level. Foot switch 2 is patched to
turn infinite repeat on and off.
