Product description

EQ
• • Parametric EQ: Dedicated 5-band equalizer with full-parametric bell filters that allows for a very flexible and exact tone shaping of the signal
  • LPF (Low Pass Filter): Passes the lower frequencies of an audio signal and attenuates the frequencies that reside above a certain cutoff frequency - the slope of the high-frequency roll off determines how radically these frequencies get attenuated by the filter
  • HPF (High Pass Filter): Passes the higher frequencies of an audio signal and attenuates the frequencies that reside below a certain cutoff frequency - the slope of the low-frequency roll off determines how radically these frequencies get attenuated by the filter

Advanced EQ
• • Filter: The LPF, HPF, BPF, Band Reject creative filter can be modulated by many different sources, including an LFO (free running or synched to the host's tempo), an envelope follower or a programmed sequence (free running or synched)
  • Aural Exciter: Produces subtle effects that help to shape individual sounds in the mix, generating synthetic harmonics on the transients and adding more details to any kind of signal

Dynamics
• • Compressor: Helps to reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal, the range between the highest peaks and the lowest levels present in a signal
  • Limiter: Also reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal but in a much more radical way with ratios settings of at least 10:1 or much higher
  • Gate and Frequency Gate: Helps eliminate unwanted low-level noise from an audio signal, and in combination with a HPF or LPF, effectively keeps all unwanted signal out of the mix

Advanced Dynamics
• • Transient Shaper: Helps to exaggerate or attenuate the transient (attack) and/or the tail (sustain) of any audio signal
  • De-Esser: Compressor that only reacts on a rather narrow pre-filtered part of the frequency range of the audio signal, traditionally used to eliminate the high-frequency S-sibilants
  • Multi-Band Compressor: Offers individual compression settings of threshold; attack and release time, and makeup gain in up to four isolated adjustable frequency bands
  • Mastering Limiter: Generally used as the last unit in the signal chain on a master fader to set and control the maximum output level of the mix, and to prevent any signal passing through the upper-level barrier

Distortion and Saturation
• • Distortion: Adds special overtones to audio resulting in an "overdrive" effect sound that's generally associated with amplifiers, effects pedals and also clipped audio
  • Special Distortion: Big Muff Pi guitar pedal to pure metal distortion
  • Tape Simulator: Simulates the various effects of an analog tape recorder including bias, tape speed, wow and flutter

Guitar Amps, Cabinets and Effects
• • Amplifiers: Emulations of different amplifier models used to create classic and complex distortion and guitar amp settings
  • Cabinets: impulse responses (IR) of different cabinets to simulate the exact sound of an amp cabinet combination, also including an 8x10" and a 1x15" bass cabinet
  • Overloud: Tone enhancer processor that adds warmth and vibrancy by applying a combination of compression, EQ and harmonic generation
  • Bitcrusher: Reduces the bit resolution of any audio-signal and simulates a lower sampling rate
  • Wah-Wah: Type of guitar filter that produces characteristic vowel-shaped sounds
  • Vibrato: Classic guitar effect
  • Tremolo: Similar effect to the vibrato but with its own characteristic sound
  • Rotary Speaker: Based on the circuit simulation of the Leslie tube amplifier and on the impulse responses recorded from a set of Leslie 122 speakers
  • Octaver: Classic octave pedal emulation that adds another higher or lower octave to the audio signal

Modulation Effects and Stereo Field Manipulation
• • Chorus: Simulates the ensemble effect of multiple identical instruments playing the same part with slight variations in tempo, sound and pitch, resulting in a shimmering, widening and thickening of the audio signal
  • Flanger: Produces a constantly shifting and phasing tone of the original audio signal by splitting it up into two signals and dynamically delaying one against the other
  • Phaser: Modeled after one of the most famous and versatile phaser effects
  • Stereo Enhancer: Generates stereo widening effects with full control of the stereo position and width of a stereo track without adding artificial stereophony

Reverbs and Delays
• • Reverbs: Various reverberation algorithms for room, plate and spring reverb programs
  • Hall Reverb: Produces the sound of a "hall" type acoustic space - large, long and rich
  • Inverse Reverb: Reverse characteristic of a classic reverb
  • Tape Delay: Echo-type effect, typically a tape delay that results in echoes that get increasingly more distorted with each echo repetition
  • Filter Delay: Echo effect where the frequency of the echo repetitions can be adjusted
