CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE 298
Gain boosts or attenuates the level of the processed signal, while the Dry/Wet control
adjusts the balance between the dry input signal and the signal sent to Corpus's processing.
Turning Dry/Wet down will not cut resonances that are currently sounding, but rather stop
new input signals from being processed.
Corpus contains a built-in limiter that automatically activates when the audio level is too
high. This is indicated by the LED in the upper-right corner of Corpus's display.
21.9 Dynamic Tube
The Dynamic Tube
Effect.
The Dynamic Tube effect infuses sounds with the peculiarities of tube saturation. An in-
tegrated envelope follower generates dynamic tonal variations related to the level of the
input signal.
Three tube models, A, B and C, provide a range of distortion characteristics known from
real amplier tubes. Tube A does not produce distortions if Bias is set low, but will kick in
whenever the input signal exceeds a certain threshold, creating bright harmonics. Tube C
is a very poor tube amp that produces distortions all the time. The qualities of Tube B lie
somewhere between these two extremes.
The Tone control sets the spectral distribution of the distortions, directing them into the
higher registers, or through the midrange and deeper.
The Drive control determines how much signal reaches the tube; greater Drive yields a
dirtier output. The intensity of the tube is controlled by the Bias dial, which pushes the
