Bleen A has a stereo resonator feeding a stereo amplitude
modulator, which is, in turn, sent to both the outputs and the
inputs of a cascaded echo. The output of the cascaded echoes
is sent to an auto-panner before it too is sent to the outputs.
ENVELOPE increases the amplitude modulation speed and de-
creases the resonator tuning so that, as signals get louder, the speed
of the amplitude modulation increases and the tuning value de-
creases.
This effect has a tunable resonator which allows you to emphasize
diffferent frequencies based on the value of RESONANCE 2. The
amount of resonance is controlled by RESONANCE 1. At higher
values, this will produce a pronounced ringing at the tuned fre-
quency. As ENVELOPE can control this tuned frequency, many
unusual dynamic effects can be created by playing with the envelope
and resonance controls.
DEPTH 1 controls the amount of signal sent to the amplitude
modulator. For any effect to be heard, this must be set to a value
greater than 1. Amplitude is modulated 90 out of phase. High values
of RATE 1 can produce "ring modulator" effects.
This Preset is an example of a dramatic special effect driven by the
dynamics of the input signal. This works particularly well with sources
that produce short percussive sounds.
