Parameter Range Description
VCF Input Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Trims the input to the formant filter so that clipping does not occur.
VCF Dry Amt Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Controls the level of the DDL signal to be mixed with the output of the
formant filter.
Shape 1 A, E, I, O, U, AA, AE, AH,
AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Select the first shape of the formant filter.
Shape 2 A, E, I, O, U, AA, AE, AH,
AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Select the second shape of the formant filter.
Shape 3 A, E, I, O, U, AA, AE, AH,
AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Select the third shape of the formant filter.
Shape 4 A, E, I, O, U, AA, AE, AH,
AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Select the fourth shape of the formant filter.
FormantWarp -12 to +12 semi Shifts all formant frequencies up or down, warping the “size” of the
formant filter.
AutoPan Depth 0% to 100% Controls the depth of the auto-panning function after the formant filter.
LFO Rate 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0.0Hz
to 20.0Hz
This parameter controls the rate of pitch modulation which creates a
chorusing effect. To achieve chorusing, this rate must be very low.
LFO Shape Triangle, Sine, Sawtooth,
Square, Asym, Step
Determines the shape that the LFO will use for pitch modulation.
LFO 2 Rate 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0.0Hz
to 20.0Hz
This parameter controls the rate of the second LFO.
LFO 2 Shape Triangle, Sine, Sawtooth,
Square, Asym, Step
Determines the shape that the second LFO will use for pitch modulation.
Dly1 Time 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0ms to
630ms
Sets the amount of delay time for the first independent delay.
Dly1 Level Off, -49.5dB to +12.0dB Adjusts the volume of the delayed signal against the original dry signal.
Dly1 Feedback -99% to +99% Determines the amount of signal that will be fed from the output back
into the input, increasing the number of repeats in the delay.
Dly1 Damping 100Hz to 21.2kHz Controls the cutoff of a low pass filter on the feedback signal, which
adjusts the amount of damping to the feedback signals. The higher the
number, the more the signals are damped.
Dly2 Time 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0ms to
630ms
Sets the amount of delay time for the second independent delay.
