Five Fx - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Cutoff
Dampens the high frequency output of the Overdrive effect.
Please note that the setting of the Mix parameter doesn't affect the strength of the overdrive
effect but only the volume of it. Therefore, you can get a very strong overdrive with a low
volume when you turn up Drive and turn down Mix.

Five FX

This effect type is a combination of five different effects. You can easily use that as a replacement for
one of the above mentioned effect types. The quality of Five FX is the same as if you use an individual
effect, only its parameter set is reduced. The effects and their order is as follows:
• Sample & Hold is a sample rate reduction effect
• Overdrive is the same as the above mentioned effect
• Ring Mod allows to ring modulate the effect input signal with another signal
• Chor/Dlay is a combination of a Chorus and a Delay effect.
You should turn the Mix control fully up with this effect type because you probably want the
sample rate reduction to process the whole signal. The Ring Mod and the Chor/Dlay effect
have their own mix control.
Sample & Hold
Controls the output sample rate. 44.1kHz means that the signal is unaffected while other values
reduce the sample rate of the sound to the respective rate. You will hear a lot of aliasing when you
lower the sample rate but this is great for so-called "lo-fi" sounds.
Overdrive
Controls the amount of distortion of the signal. Please note that the signal might become a little louder
when you increase this parameter.
Ring Mod
Controls the level of ring modulation between the input signal and a second signal that can be chosen
with Source.
