THE BLOCKS
QUAD TAP DELAY
Quad Tap Delay
Tap 1-4
Sets the delay time of the four taps. Maximum delay time
per tap is 1480 ms.
Tempo 1-4
The Tempo parameter sets the relationship to the global
Tempo e.g. if you set it to 1/4T you will get quarter note
triplets of the tapped tempo. 1/4 equals the BPM (tapped
Tempo).
If you select "Ignored" the current parameter will use the
Preset value and will not be affected by the Global Tempo.
Feedback 1-4
Adjusts the amount of Feedback from each of the four taps.
NOTE: The sum of the four feedbacks are limited to 100%.
Levels 1-4
Sets the level of each of the four taps.
Pan position 1-4
Controls the panning of the four Delay taps.
Lowcut 1-4
Cuts off frequencies lower than the selected. The slope of
the filter is 12dB/octave.
Highcut 1-4
Cuts off frequencies higher than the selected frequency. So if
you feel that there is too much treble in your signal, you
remove this by adjusting the highcut filter down. The slope
of the filter is 12dB/octave.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the Delay block
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.

The Drive
The Drive block
The Drive is a post distortion. It can be used for effects
purposes like overdriving a Delay, a Flanger or a Phaser etc.
or simply to crank the overall sound a bit.
Drive
The Drive parameter is simulating the In-gain of a distortion
device. The extra In-gain is automatically compensated on
the Output level, to avoid any clipping internally.
Brightness
Brightness is used to reduce the amount of high frequency
content in the distorted signal. The Brightness control is flat
when set to 100%.
Body
Body is used to reduce the amount of low frequency content
in the distorted signal. At heavy distortion the Drive will
emphasize a lot of low frequencies, which can be somewhat
annoying. These problems can be reduced by the Body
parameter. A number of preamps and pedals on the market
combine a lowcut filter with their In-gain to compensate for
the exact same problem.
Smasher
The Smasher is used to change the character of the distortion
by emphasizing even order harmonics. Setting this parameter
to a high value, will smash your signal. Try to experiment
with the character of your distortion.
Out Drive
Outdrive is simulating the kind of distortion that you would
get from the output stage of an amplifier.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the Drive block.
Connect this parameter to the Envelope follower in
the Modifier Matrix to eliminate noise from the Drive.
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
