DELAY-EFFECTS
Studio Delay
The Studio Delay algorithm will give you a clear
reproduction of the material fed to the M350.
To soften the Delay (as it is commonly done in
studio productions), the Studio Delay uses a
subtle yet significant HiCut at a relatively high
crossover frequency.
Triplets Delay
Tap the tempo in 1/4 notes and the delay
repeats will play in 1/4 note triplets according to
the tapped tempo.
Soft Delay
The Soft Delay rolls of the high-end frequencies
slightly, giving you delay repeats with less edge
that very often blend better and sound more
natural in the mix.
PingPong Delay
The PingPong Delay basically pans the delay
repeats from left to right and back while
keeping the input signal at its original position.
This gives a very wide-spread special effect.
Slapback Delay
The Slapback delay is a very short delay with
only a single or a few repeats. It is commonly
used as a “doubling-effect”, making the
processed material seem more massive. Short
slapback delays are also often used on funky
rhythm guitars – a bit longer on rockabilly guitar
or vocals.
Compressor
Compression basics
A compressor is a tool used to reduce the
dynamic content of a signal. When the signal is
above the set threshold, the compressor starts
reducing the output level according to the set
ratio. A signal with a reduced dynamic range is
much easier to control and will have a more
consistent sound in any audio production.
Illustration:
Be aware that compression is a powerful tool.
Applying the right amount of compression to
specific instruments will create a homogenous,
well-defined result. Applying too much
compression will probably create a less
musical, flat and uninteresting sound.
Compressor Controls
For optimal “ease of use” we have simplified
and reduced the common compression
controls to the following controls:
Drive (
TIMING KNOB
)
The higher the Drive setting is, the lower the
Threshold point is set – and the harder you
will “hit” the Compressor. In other words:
The higher the Drive setting, the more
compression is added.
Ratio (
FEEDBACK
/
DEPTH KNOB
)
This parameter sets the amount of gain
reduction of the signal above the
“Threshold” – see Drive parameter.
