3) Oscillator: Adds square wave to both left and right of the input source material. Gain controls
volume, and Hz controls frequency.
4) Stutter: Cuts the source material in and out. The leftmost position is off. When turning the
knob clockwise, the stutter starts at a low speed and increases. As the knob is rotated, the
cutting of the material starts to produce an audible tone, which increases in frequency.
5) Digitize: Samples and holds the source material. The leftmost position is off. As the knob is
rotated clockwise, the music sounds like the sampling rate and bit depth of the material is being
reduced to give you a grainy digital effect.
6) Phaser: Creates a heavy chorusing and filtered effect known as Phasing. As the knob is rotated
clockwise, the Phasing sound increases in pitch and in intensity. ***Use the engage button to
activate this function.
7) Band Pass: Uses both the high pass and the low pass filter to select a frequency range for the
output. You can start out with the High Pass filter in the leftmost position and the Low Pass
filter in the rightmost position. The music starts out normally and as the high pass knob is
turned clockwise and the low pass knob is turned counterclockwise, the low end (bass drum) and
high end (hi hat) will disappear. Both knobs can be moved in the same direction to select a
specific frequency range. ***Note the band pass filter function is different from EQ’s. The
EQ’s will only boost or cut three specific frequency ranges, low end, midrange, and high end.
8) Band Cut: Uses both the high pass and the low pass filter to select a frequency range for cutting
from the output. You can start out with the High Pass filter in the rightmost position and the
Low Pass filter in the leftmost position. The music starts out off. As the high pass knob is
turned counterclockwise the high end will come in (high hats). As the low pass knob is turned
clockwise, the low end (bass drum) will come in. Both knobs can be moved in the same
direction to cut the low, mid, or high range output. ***Note the band cut filter function is
different from EQ’s. The EQ’s will only boost or cut three specific frequency ranges, low end,
midrange, and high end.
9) Cue: Use for cueing the fully wet effect sound through the headphones. You can test the effect
sound by doing this with the Wet/Dry slider in the dry position and then moving it to the Wet
position when the correct effect sound is achieved.
Some effect suggestions:
1) The signal flow of the effects section is in order from left to right then top to bottom. This allows
effects to be combined in a logical way. For example, the noise may sound bland to you, so you
can digitize it and use a band pass filter for an interesting effect. If digitize sounds too harsh then
you can use a band pass filter and cut out the high end for another unique effect.
2) An important thing to keep in mind is to experiment and see how many new and innovative effects
you can create. Try using the oscillator as well as the noise generator to create analog synth type
of effects over music. Filter it using the other effects to create the sound you want. Take this
