The Effect Blocks - TC-Helicon VoiceTone Create.XT Product Manual

The Effect Blocks

Each Style in Create XT is made up of some
combination of four "blocks" which can be thought of as
separate effect processors. These are organized as
follows on the front panel:
F F X X
The FX block incorporates the Transducer
HardTune blocks. The Transducer creates filtered
and distorted effects such as megaphones and
telephones. The HardTune effect is similar to the
extreme pitch correction sound of artists such as T-
pain, Kanye West and Cher.
μ
M M o o d d
This is the "micromod" block that creates sounds
that modulate such as chorus and flange.The
effects can also use detuning to add thickness or
create wild special effects.
Getting To Know Create XT
D D e e l l a a y y
The Delay block produces echo effects such as Slap,
Ping Pong, and Tap Tempo. Slap echo is the shortest
of these and recreates the first echo effects used in
the 1950's. Ping Pong is longer and will bounce from
side to side in stereo. Tap Tempo echo has echo
repeats that follow the beats of your song. For more
information on Tap Tempo see "Using Tap Tempo"
and
later in this chapter.
R R e e v v e e r r b b
This effect simulates the effect of being in an
acoustic space. Factory reverb effects include rooms,
halls and styles that simulate electromechanical
devices used in the past to imitate "real" acoustic
space such as plates and springs.
Mod
Factory styles have predefined settings for each block.
For example, one may have the Reverb block configured
as a small, reflective room and another may have a large
dark-sounding hall.
