ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 99
6.7.1 Master Section
The Master section of the Aetherizer contains the parameters for the effect’s post-delay sec-
tion. These are:
• Beatswitch: With the Beat switch you select whether the value in the nearby Post-delay
Time control should be indicated in seconds (Sec) or in beats (Beat), ie in quarter notes.
• Post-delayTimecontrol: Denes the post-delay duration.
•
Post-delayFeedbackcontrol: Denes the proportion of the incoming signal that is sent
to the post-delay’s feedback loop (range: 0.00 to 99.99%).
•
Post-delayLowpasscontrol: Adjusts the cutoff frequency (in Hertz) of a lowpass lter
within the feedback loop.
• Post-delayGaincontrol: Adjusts the gain (in dB) of the delayed signal.
6.7.2 Grain Cloud Parameters
Grain Section
The Grain section, in the lower left part of the Aetherizer, holds parameters controlling the
grain cloud’s properties:
•
Predelaycontrol: Denes the position in the incoming signal at which the grains are
taken. Increasing the Predelay value makes the grain start later in the input signal.
• Ratecontrol: Rate at which the input signal is chopped (in other words, it is the number
of grains taken from the input signal during one second).
• Feedbackcontrol: Amount of grain-level feedback.
•
GrainDurationcontrol: Adjusts the length of each grain. This parameter inuences the
density of the sound: less duration means less overlapping grains, thus making the sound
thinner.
!
Note that the actual grain duration is also related to the chosen Rate: the faster the Rate,
the shorter the grains.
