Every sound mode has a common set of controls:
- SAMP: Sample Crusher, reduces bit depth and sample rate at higher settings.
- PITCH: Sets the pitch shift interval from -1 octave to 1 octave, in semitones.
- P.MIX: Sets the mix of the pitch shifter effect from dry to fully wet.
- VOL: Sets the overall volume of the effect, unit is at 50%.
- TONE: Sets the overall brightness of the sound.
Each sound mode also has its own unique controls, accessed on the MAIN controls page.
- STRETCH MODE - This mode records the input signal into a sample buffer, and then plays it back in real-time. Great for glitchy delay effects, random reverse, or freaky feedback.
- PLAY sets the playback speed and direction, with forward at 0% and reverse at 100%. Middle settings will slow down and pitch down the audio.
- SIZE sets the sample buffer size, shorter buffers will sound choppy.
- FEED controls the amount of sampled signal fed back in to the buffer, for repeat and echo effects.
- AIR MODE - Grainy, lo-fi reverb effect similar to very early digital and analogue reverberation devices. Early reflections and slow build times make this a unique textural tool.
- SIZE controls the decay time and simulated size of the reverb chamber effect.
- SOFT sets the diffusion amount, higher settings are smoother sounding.
- PDLY controls the pre-delay time before the reverb effect occurs.
- RING MODE - Balanced “ring” modulation effect, adds extra frequencies to the original tone that are mathematically related but not harmonically related. Wild.
- FREQ controls the carrier frequency of the modulator. This frequency is added and subtracted from the input.
- RAND applies a random frequency for “sample and hold” dial-tone effects. Sounds like a very sick robot.
- DPTH sets the range of the RAND modulation.
- CUBE MODE - Math-based cubic distortion and fuzz effect, with tunable resonant filter.
- DRIV controls the distortion drive amount, higher settings also add some octave fuzz
- FILT sets the resonant filter cutoff frequency
- RESO tunes the resonance of the filter, set to minimum to bypass the filter effect
- FREQ MODE - Frequency shift effect, adds or subtracts a set frequency from the input signal. Like pitch shift but all of the intervals are broken. It’s horrible.
- SHFT frequency shift amount, smallest shifts are in the center of the range
- FEED controls feedback, increases intensity of the shift and delay effects at high settings
- DLAY sets delay time after the shift effect. Set to minimum for phaser-like tones, set to maximum for spiral echo
- effects.
- WAVE MODE - Time based modulator, used for chorus, vibrato, flanger, and FM effects.
- RATE sets the modulation speed, from very slow up to the audible band. At higher speeds the modulation is in the audio band and sounds pretty weird.
- DPTH controls the amount of modulation. We let you modulate it all the way, don’t complain if it gets gnarly.
- FEED applies feedback to the modulation, higher settings sound more like flange and lower settings more like chorus.
