The Presets
P212 DM:WideFlang
EA:605 OverTheTop1 EB:606 OverTheTop2
This preset can be used with either two mono sources, or one stereo source. One channel glides with a positive resonance,
the other flanges with a negative resonance. This preset sounds really awesome with a pre-fade mono send going to each
input. The LFO, which is set to 0.22Hz with a triangle waveform, determines the speed of the flange glides in each Machine.
MchA EP:605 OverTheTop1 This preset should be used pretty much through the box, i.e. send it a pre-fader signal, then
mix only the returns. The Flange Delay is patched to the LFO. When properly modulated, the flange delay glides between
9.5ms and 18ms. The base delays are set to 10ms with a positive feedback gain. Over the top cancellation occurs as the
glide delay passes
over
the 10ms base delay.
!Remember, the LFO lives in the Setup domain, so if you load the effect into
a setup where there is no LFO activity, the preset will sound “hollow” and resonant!
MchB EP:606 OverTheTop2 Similar to OverTheTop1, except the flange delay glides between .08 ms and 10.7ms. This
flange delay is patched to the LFO. The base delays are set to 10ms, with a negative amplifier gain. Over the top cancellation
occurs as the glide delay passes
over
the 10ms base delay. The channel outputs are reversed such that the left input will
pass through to the right output and vice-versa.
!Remember, the LFO lives in the Setup domain, so if you load the effect into
a setup where there is no LFO activity, the preset will sound “hollow” and resonant!
P213 DM:X-Traffic
EA:612 Chorus+EKOz EB: *Sky Delays
This preset has cross panning (ABAL and BBAL) patched between the source inputs of each Machine. That is, the left input
signal will pan between Machine A and Machine B; the right input will do the same thing in the other direction. One idea might
be to take a pair of related tracks (say a couple of different sounding keyboards) and cross pan them between Machine inputs.
The rate of the pan is set by the LFO. Remember, the LFO (set to 0.14Hz with a triangle waveform) is also patched to the
flange glides in both Machine A and Machine B.
MchA EA:612 Chorus+EKOz Chorus+EKOz makes use of the flange gliding delay and several recurring echoes.
MchB EB:610 *Sky Delays This preset combines a bit of giding delay along with all sets of delays. Delays 1 and 2 are
set short with feedback and “tuned” diffusion gains. Delays 3 and 4 are also set short and crossfeed into 2 and 1, respectively.
The is a small amount of post delay (LDLY and RDLY), and these two post echoes are patched to the Soft knob. Use the
Soft knob parameter to adjust post delays to match the tempo. By itself, *Sky Delays is sort of a chorused cluster echo —
very similar to a bright resonant small room. Beautiful effect on stacked vocals.
P214 DM:*GearUp
EA:803 *Up Shift EB:805 Env*EKOShift
This preset has both Machines linked to the Soft knob value location. As you advance the Soft knob parameter, the delay
line lengths will get progressively longer.
MchA EP:803 *Up Shift A sweet sounding microshift up +7cents. There is a slight “chorus edge” due to a modest amount
feedback around a 0ms delay line. The Soft knob controls the delay line length.
MchB EP:805 Env*EKOShift The Soft knob parameter controls the delay line length, and the L-Meter is negatively
patched to the feedback (FBK) parameter, such that when signal is present, delay feedback is reduced; when the signal
disappears, feedback is increased. This is a very interesting effect when the echo fits the beat of the music.
