Special Section - Native Instruments Reaktor Spark Manual

4.4 Special Section

The special section houses key parameters that determine the composition of the feedback signal.
The first unit encountered by the signal entering the Special section is the polyphonic Voice
Delay. The delay time of the voice delay is set with the D
on which frequencies will be excited in the feedback path. You can use the delay also in the
forward signal, just mix it with the other output signals by using the D
a coloring or chorusing effect. The D
When D t is not zero the actual delay time depends on the note that is being played.

and stronger phasing effects. Use this to brighten up the sound at higher shift frequencies or
to create a stronger phasing effect at lower shift frequencies. The F
controls the amount of frequency shifted (wet) signal mixed to the non-frequency shifted (dry)
signal before it gets sent to the output of this unit.
