▪ Filter: The Filter is a raw-sounding, analog-modelled LP/BP/HP filter with additional satura-
tion parameters and resonance that can be pushed into self-oscillation. For more informa-
tion see section ↑14.7.1, Filter.
▪ Flanger: The Flanger is a comb filter effect. It can behave like a standard flanger or phaser
but can also go pretty wild and sound more like a creative delay if you push the decay and
delay time. Various tone-shaping controls are available. For more information see section
↑14.7.2, Flanger.
▪ Brst Echo: The Burst Echo is a warm, versatile echo with plenty of character. It's great as a
dub echo but can also be used for quite extreme sound design. For more information see
section ↑14.7.3, Burst Echo.
▪ Reso Echo: The Reso Echo is a crazy psychedelic echo which can be tightened up into a
punchy resonator. For more information see section ↑14.7.4, Reso Echo.
▪ Ring: Based on a bank of ring modulators, the Ring effect adds a bell-like quality to melod-
ic sound sources. An additional plate reverb lets you pick out individual notes with your fin-
ger and have them ring out for several seconds. For more information see section ↑14.7.5,
Ring.
▪ Stutter: Stutter is a beat-mangling effect, great for adding glitches and fills to drum pat-
terns and more. For more information see section ↑14.7.6, Stutter.
▪ Tremolo: Tremolo is a tremolo/vibrato effect, useful for adding expression and movement on
the fly. For more information see section ↑14.7.7, Tremolo.
▪ Scratcher: At its most basic, Scratcher allows you to apply a turntable "brake" to the incom-
ing signal and then scratch it, as if on vinyl. But an additional pitchshifter delay, linked to
the Smart Strip position, adds a wealth of sonic possibilities, from simple thickening to ali-
en-sounding sweeps. For more information see section ↑14.7.8, Scratcher.
14.7.1 Filter
An analog-modeled High, Low, and Band-pass filter capable of yielding raw, natural-sounding
results using saturation and resonance. Roll off the highs for a thick, murky veil, or use the
resonance to create sounds that float into self-oscillation infinity.
