Special eects
VINYLIZER: This eect adds clicks and/or noise to your audio signal,
simulatingold vinyl records and tape recorders.
SAMPLER: This sampler allows you to record up to ve seconds of program
material. Use Edit A for recording and Edit B for playback of the sampled material.
◊ To clear the contents of the sampler, select a different effect.
VOCODER: The vocoder, an old acquaintance, has become popular again due to
the disco renaissance (hear it in “Around the World” by Daft Punk or “California”
by 2Pac). A control signal (usually a voice) is used in the right channel to modulate
another signal which lies on the left channel (usually a synthesizer sound).
Itsounds as if the synthesizer is talking (robot voice).
VOICE CANCELER: The voice canceler is a very eective Karaoke eect. It allows
removal of mono vocal parts in stereo recordings. The bass part, however,
remains untouched.
RESONATOR: A resonator simulates an oscillating system that amplies a specic
frequency. The resonator implemented here has a resonance frequency that can
be modulated with positive and negative feedbacks of up to 100%.

Eects algorithm combinations
(multi-eects programs)
Eects 61 to 71 are multi-eects algorithms, which allow dierent eects to be
used simultaneously. Eect 61, for example, can make a solo guitar “wider” with
chorus and simultaneously add a room reverb. Please note that you can modify
the structure of a multi-eect (see chapters 3.1 and 3.6.4).
CHORUS & REVERB: This algorithm combines the popular chorus with a gold
plate eect (as in algorithm 2).
FLANGER & REVERB: The combination of anger and reverb eects.
LESLIE & REVERB: The input signal, modulated to a degree that you specify,
is then processed with a reverb eect. This eect works especially well with
keyboards and guitars.
PITCH & REVERB: The pitch shifter can be detuned in semitone or cent steps.
The reverb, on the other hand, can be controlled in time and mixing ratio.
DELAY & REVERB: Delay and reverb are the most common combinations for
vocals, solo guitars, etc. The reverb used here is a gold plate, a room that features
a distinctive brilliance and can be used in many ways.
TREMOLO & REVERB: The intensive variation in volume of the tremolo gains
more depth and wideness with the reverb.
PHASER & REVERB: The combination of a classic stereo phaser and a
reverbeect.
CHORUS & DELAY: While the chorus can contribute to a wideness of the signal,
interesting repetition eects can be adjusted with the delay. Vocals can be given
a distinctive eect without making the voice sounding blurred.
FLANGER & DELAY: This eect is just right for creating a modern,
slightly “spacey” vocal sound.
PITCH & DELAY: A repetition of the audio signal, with an oscillatory eect added
by the pitch shifter.
TREMOLO & DELAY: A fast or slow, intensive variation of volume, which is
additionally processed with a panorama eect.
