Effects / Delay
Effects section
At the bottom right of the V-Station’s panel is a section where you can program the V-Station’s
effects.
The V-Station has six effects - delay (echo), reverb, chorus (which can also produce flanging
and phasing effects), distortion, EQ and panning - which can be used simultaneously. To edit
the effects, simply click on the LEDs. As the different effects are selected, the controls to the
right of the LEDs change to reflect the controls available for the currently selected effect type.
One control, however, that is consistent to all six effects is the LEVEL control - this sets the
level of the signal going to the selected effect - the higher the level, the more of the effect you
will hear.
Another parameter that is consistent between all six effects is the ON/OFF switch - this is used
to disable all six effects in one convenient action. If you want to remove one effect from the
chain, set its LEVEL control to zero (i.e. fully counter-clockwise).
Note: The effects use a fair chunk of CPU processing power. If you find performance is being
affected, disabling the V-Station’s effects with the ON/OFF button can significantly reduce the
strain.
Delay
The first effect in the list is DELAY. The delay effects parameters are:
TIME Knob
Controls the amount of time it takes for the delayed signal to be heard after the original signal.
FEEDBACK Knob
Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay input. No feedback
produces a slapback echo effect - just one delayed sound with no repeats. Small amounts of
feedback produce repeated sounds resulting in a multiple echo effect. Large amounts of
feedback can produce infinite echoes.
WIDTH Knob
This sets the Stereo spread between the long and short Delay times. With a width setting of
zero, both delays appear in the middle of the stereo field (Mono). At maximum width setting,
the longer delay will appear on one output and the shorter on the other, producing a dramatic
stereo effect.
