Shaper Section - Native Instruments Reaktor Spark Manual

4.3 Shaper Section

The Shaper section allows you to fatten up the sound.
Wave-shaping adds interesting amplitude-dependent sound colors. The amount of distortion
and harmonics added to the signal is controlled by the Shaper D K . It determines the
riVe nob
input gain of the Shaper section.
The S - S K lets you crossfade between two characteristic sounds resulting from two
at ine nob
wave-shaping curves: a parabolic saturation curve and a Sine curve, which folds back the
waveform of larger signals.
Similarly, the 2 h K lets you change the harmonic content of the signal resulting from
nD nob
the wave-shaping. At zero the shaping curves are symmetric, creating mainly odd harmonics.
With larger values the curve gets increasingly asymmetric and the amount of the 2nd and
other even harmonics is increased.
