(Mac) modier while dragging vertically in the X-Y display changes the frequency
band's Q (bandwidth).
The Pinch Effect section adds odd harmonics to the input signal. These distortions typically
occur 180 degrees out of phase, creating a richer stereo image. The Pinch Effect has the
same controls as the Tracing Model, but generates a rather different sound.
The Drive control increases or decreases the overall distortion amount created by both the
Tracing Model and Pinch.
There are two distortion modes: Soft and Hard. The Soft Mode simulates the sound of a
dub plate, while Hard Mode is more like that of a standard vinyl record.
The stereo/mono switch determines whether the Pinch distortion occurs in stereo or mono.
Set it to stereo for realistic simulation of vinyl distortions.
The Crackle section adds noise to the signal, with noise density set by the Density control.
The Volume control adjusts the amount of gain applied to the noise.
