3. Set the Formant Extraction controls as
appropriate for your Control Signal.
4. In the Output Mixer, set Control
Signal Level to -inf and Audio Signal

5. While playing the Control Track, vary
the Envelope Amount control from
0 to 100 and listen to the result.
To adjust the Envelope Amount, click on the
knob and move the cursor up to turn the knob
clockwise, or down to turn it counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking on the knob
will reset it to its default value of 100 (maximum
amount).
EQ SECTION
The EQ Section provides one band of traditional
parametric EQ for fine-tuning the Audio Signal (as
well as the Noise Generator output, if used).
Frequency
This control selects the
frequency of the EQ (i.e., the
frequency that will either be
increased or decreased via the
Gain control). The range is from
100Hz to 4000Hz.
To adjust Frequency, click on
the knob and move the cursor up to turn the knob
clockwise, or down to turn it counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking on the knob will
reset it to its default value of 1500Hz.
Q
The Q control allows you to set
the slope (and, consequently,
the bandwidth) of the EQ’s peak
or dip. Its range is 0.10 to 3.10.
High Qs result steep slopes (and
narrow bandwidth), while lower
Qs result in more gentle slopes
(and wider bandwidth). (The
easiest way to understand this is to watch the
green EQ plot while adjusting the Q and Gain
controls. All will become clear.)
To adjust Q, click on the knob and move the
cursor up to turn the knob clockwise, or down to
turn it counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking on the knob will
reset it to its default value of 0.71.
Gain
The Gain control lets you set the
amount of boost or cut that will be
applied to the Audio Signal at the
selected Frequency. The range is
from -12.0dB to +12.0dB.
To adjust Gain, click on the
knob and move the cursor up
to turn the knob clockwise, or down to turn it
counterclockwise.
Command (Mac)/Alt (PC) clicking on the knob will
reset it to its default value of 0.0.
Bypass
The Bypass button
allows you to bypass
the effect of the EQ section. When the button is
red, EQ is bypassed. Click the button to toggle its
state.
Display
The EQ Section Display provides a real-time
graphic representation of the Control Signal (red
plot), the Audio Signal (blue plot) and the EQ
curve (green plot).
