The Effects
57
DETUNE - Sets the amount of pitch detune for the delay line for the Plex Detune and Plex Shift
types.
DIRECTION - Sets direction of the pitch shifter. Reverse can be used for atmospheric textures.
SPLICE LEN - Sets the amount of overlap in the audio snippets. A low setting will make the echoes
more discrete whereas a high setting will tend to smear the echoes.
SHIFT - Sets the amount of pitch shift for the delay line for the Plex Shift type.
FREQ - Sets the center frequency of the delay line output filter.
Q- Sets the ‘Q’ of the delay line output filter. Higher values result in narrower bandwidth. The
Axe-Fx uses a constant power algorithm so higher Q’s increase the gain of the filter. As such, use
caution as overloads could result with some program material.
DIFF TIME -
When using the Quad-Tap mode this sets the length of the diffuser as a percentage of
the maximum.
DUCKER ATTEN -
Sets the attenuation depth of the ducker. A setting of 20 dB, for example, will
decrease the echo level by 20 dB when the input level is above the threshold. Set to 0 dB to defeat
the ducker.
DUCKER THRESH -
Sets the trigger threshold of the ducker. If the input signal exceeds this value
the delayed signal will be attenuated by an amount equal to that set with the
DUCKER ATTEN
control.
DUCKER REL TIME -
Sets the rate at which the ducker releases the attenuation when the input
signal falls below the threshold.
LFO RATE - Controls the frequency of the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Use low settings with
higher depths for slow moving sounds. Increase the rate for vibrato effects. Set fully CCW to sync
the LFO to the Global LFO1 oscillator.
LFO TEMPO - Locks the rate to the global tempo. For example, if the global tempo is 120 bpm and
the tempo is set to a quarter note (1/4) then the LFO rate will be 2 Hz (120 bpm / 60 seconds = 2).
To ignore the global tempo set the tempo control to
NONE.
LFO DEPTH - Sets the maximum delay variation. Higher depths increase the amount of detuning.
Usually the rate and depth settings should be varied inversely, i.e. if you increase the rate decrease
the depth however some unique sounds can be obtained using high rates and depths.
FDBK SEND - Sets the feedback send tap for the Quad-Series type.
FDBK RET - Sets the feedback return tap for the Quad-Series type.
