light to indicate that MUTATOR Evo is in fact
receiving the clock signal from your host.
In Tempo Sync Mode, the Dialect control lets you
select what division or multiplier of the beat will
define the length and position of each speech
segment. The choices are:
4/4 (4 beats)
3/4 (3 beats)
2/4 (2 beats)
1/4. (dotted quarter note)
1/4 (quarter note)
1/4T (quarter note triplet)
1/8. (dotted 8th note)
1/8 (8th note)
1/8T (8th note triplet)
1/16. (dotted 16th note)
1/16 (16th note)
1/16T (16th note triplet)
1/32. (dotted 32nd note)
1/32 (32nd note)
1/32T (32nd note triplet)
NOTE: It should be noted that Alienize
is a real-time function, i.e., it doesn’t
simply analyze and reverse sections of
a pre-recorded track. You could, in fact, connect
a microphone and have MUTATOR Evo Alienize
your voice as you speak or sing. Try it. It’s fun.
ANOTHER NOTE: Because the Alienize
function needs to store up a small bit of
your speech before it can start Alienizing it, there
will be a short delay between the beginning of
the audio and when the alienized voice begins to
sound (the exact delay depends on the selected
Dialect setting). Conversely, depending on exactly
when your audio ends, the alienized voice may
continue for a very brief time after you stop while
the last alienized segment is completed. (Think of
it as Alien Timeshift.)
To set the Dialect, click on the knob and move the
cursor up to turn the knob clockwise, or down to
turn it counterclockwise. The numeric display will
indicate the segment length (in arbitrary units or
beat divisions depending on Dialect mode).
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking on the knob will
reset it to its default value of 10.
INPUT/OUTPUT SECTION
Here’s where you can adjust the output level,
bypass the entire plug-in, and get a visual
representation of the before and after versions of
your audio.
Output Volume
This control applies
gain or attenuation
to the output signal.
Since MUTATOR Evo’s
various functions can
substantially increase or
decrease the level of the
input, you can use this
control, in combination
with the output level
meter, to ensure that
your output is at an
appropriate level without
clipping.
To adjust output volume,
click on and move the
fader to the desired
position. The numeric
display will indicate in dBs
the exact amount of gain
or attenuation applied.
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC)
clicking anywhere in the
fader track will reset the
control to its default value
of 0dB.
Output Level Meter
Use this meter in
combination with the
output level control to
set the optimum output
level. Ideally, the meter
should peak in the
upper area of its range
without repeatedly
pegging at 0 dB.
