RESONANT CHORDS EFFECTS STET
4.1 Rez Climber ADJUST: Tuning 0–60
Try this preset with dialog or unpitched source material. It is a
special effect that dynamically sweeps the resonators through the
2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pitches of the harmonic series. The sweep is
controlled by the AR Env, which is triggered by mono input level.
ADJUST sets the fundamental pitch for the series.
4.2 Chord Walk ADJUST: High Cut 0–50
This preset uses the resonators to generate a rhythmic chord
pattern from unpitched source material. ADJUST controls the high
frequency content of the chords. The time switches, Sw 1 and Sw
2 are used to change the chord root-note and mode and also vary
the rhythm. Listen to this effect with a simple kick, snare and hi-hat
pattern as an input source. Press Tap twice to synchronize the
tempo of the effect with the tempo of the drum pattern.
4.3 Mars Bars ADJUST: High Cut 0–50
In this preset, the resonators are used to create a truly weird and
spacey special effect. Use any continuous sound effect, dialog, or
even instrumental tracks as source material. The tuning of the
resonators is swept slowly through a series of pitches by the LFO.
The resulting sound is quite unusual (an orchestra from another
planet?). ADJUST controls the overall high frequency content of the
effect. Be sure to check out the Soft Row, which contains
parameters for tuning, voice assignment and more.
4.4 ModalImpulse ADJUST: Tone 0–50
The resonators in this preset are tuned to arpeggiate a modal 7th
chord. ADJUST changes the overall tone of the arpeggiated notes.
The rhythm of the arpeggio is tempo controlled. Press Tap twice to
synchronize it to the beat. The effect works well with single
percussion hits (try it with kick or snare). You can change the key,
scale, and root note of the arpeggio by playing with the Pitch sub
parameters in the Soft Row. You’ll also find controls for reverb and
delay there as well.
4.5 Major Minor ADJUST: Tone 0–50
This effect in this preset builds a 6-note modal chord one note at a
time. Use a single percussion hit as an input source (a slowly
repeating snare hit works well). The notes in the chord are added
slowly over 24 beats. The effect is tempo controlled. Press Tap
twice to synchronize it to the beat. ADJUST changes the overall
tone of the chord notes. As the chord builds, it is changed
rhythmically between major and minor scales. The root note of the
chord is also changed in a rhythmic manner. The LFO controls the
rate of the build and the major minor shift. Switch 2 controls the
changing root notes.
4.6 MIDIChords ADJUST: Sparkle 0–5
This preset is driven by MIDI Note Number. Resonators follow the
note in a diatonic tone cluster. ADJUST controls the brightness of
the resonators. If the audio source is the same as the MIDI source
(a synthesizer), the effect is a little like harmonization. If the audio
source is different, the effect is much harder to describe. This
preset will pass audio if there is no MIDI input.
