UltraChannel
The UltraChannel user interface is a compact yet intuitive environment that uses consistent conventions
throughout. It should take you no time at all to effortlessly navigate through each part of the plug-in.
UltraChannel is comprised of the following discrete components, which collectively or individually provide
you a robust and precise tone-shaping and frequency-manipulation environment.
• Input
• Gate
• Compressor
• O-Pressor
• 5-Band Parametric EQ
• Micro Pitch Shift Module
• Stereo Delays
• Output Stage
Clicking the In/Out button enables or disables that particular module. Because of its modular design,
the signal processing sequence can be shuffled. For instance, you can click on upper left corner of the Gate
module and drag it to the right of the Compressor, thereby switching the order of those functions. You can
move the Gate, Compressor, O-Pressor, and EQ modules to any position in the processing signal chain
you wish. The Input, Micro Pitch Shift, Stereo Delays, and Output stages, however, are static, the input
coming before, and others coming after the routable sections. The remainder of this manual describes
the characteristics of each module, their controls, their capabilities, their technical specifications, and any
tips or tricks.
3.1 Input
This stage is where the signal is introduced into the E-Channel plug-in. Its sequence cannot be shuffled,
and it cannot be disabled. The active signal is represented dynamically on the bar input meter, from -60
dB to 0 dB.
The Input module is comprised of the following features and controls:
3.1.1 Invert Phase
Click this button to invert (reverse) the phase of the input signal.
3.1.2 Input Meter
The Input section contains a large mono or stereo meter which shows signal level from -60 dBfs to 0 dBfs.
This meter is stretched to have more resolution at higher levels.
