General Interaction; Change Of Status And Selecting An Effect - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

6.1 General Interaction

The Effect Window is divided into several sections:
•
On top you find the elements for using the basic functions, e.g. the On/Off button for the
entire Effect section or the Input Mixer.
•
In the lower Master section you have access to the different parameters, which allow you
to regulate the active effect's main parameters. In the case of the effect called Echoes,
we have the maximum delay time.
•
The lower section features the special parameters allowing a more differentiated interven-
tion into the sound processing, such as the delay times for the single delay lines of an
echo effect.

6.1.1 Change of Status and Selecting an Effect

The Effect switch turns the Effect section on and off. If you use a simple sound without ef-
fects, you can reduce the CPU load caused by ABSYNTH 5. To turn the Effect section on
or off, click on the colored field labeled Effect (directly underneath the Navigation Bar's File
menu). Turning the Effect module in the Patch Window on or off has the same effect on the
operating status of the Effect Window.
In the same section you find the Effect Selector, a list of six available effect types.
►
To choose an Effect, click on the name of the desired effect.
Only one effect can be active at any given time. In the list, the currently active effect mode
is marked by a status light and is highlighted. Each newly selected effect is reflected in the
lower section of the Effect Window, where the individual parameters of the selected effect
are indicated.
