DoubleDelay
 
This effect provides two separate delays that can be either tempo 
based or use freely specified delay time settings. Cubase LE automat-
ically provides the plug-in with the tempo currently used in the project. 
The parameters are as follows: 
Parameter Description  
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Double-
Delay is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum (100%) 
as you can control the dry/effect balance with...

You can also change parameters in the graphic display window. This 
works as follows:  
•  
If tempo sync is on, you can set the Tempo Sync 1 parameter by drag-
ging the light blue handle left and right. 
When tempo sync is off, this sets the Delay Time 1 parameter.
 
•  
You can set the Pan 1 parameter by dragging the light blue handle up 
and down.  
•  
The dark blue handle works in the same way but for the correspond-
ing second delay parameters.

ModDelay
 
This is a delay effect that can either be tempo-based or use freely 
specified delay time settings. The delay repeats can also be modu-
lated. The parameters are as follows: 
Parameter Description  
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If ModDelay 
is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you can con-
trol the dry/effect balance with the send.

DaTube
 
This effect emulates the characteristic warm, lush sound of a tube am-
plifier. It is usable both as an insert effect and a send effect: 
Parameter Description  
DriveRegulates the pre-gain of the “amplifier”. Use high values if you want an 
overdriven sound just on the verge of distortion.
Balance This controls the balance between the signal processed by the Drive pa-
rameter and the dry input signal. For maximum drive effect, set this to its 
highest value....

Distortion
 
The Distortion effect plug-in is capable of producing anything from a 
soft “crunch” to all-out distortion.
The parameters are as follows: 
Parameter Description  
Input Sets the Input level.
Output Sets the Output level. As distortion generates harmonics, it increases the 
level of the processed signal. You can use the Output fader to compen-
sate for the level increase.
Shapes Determines how much the input signal is affected by the distortion effect....

Overdrive
 
Overdrive is a distortion-type effect, emulating the sound of a guitar 
amplifier. A selection of factory styles is available. Note that these are 
not stored parameter settings, but different basic overdrive algorithms, 
with the style names indicating the basic character of each algorithm. 
The parameters are as follows: 
Parameter Description  
Input Sets the input level. 
Output Sets the output level. As overdrive generates harmonics, it increases the...

Dynamics
 
Dynamics is an advanced dynamics processor. It combines three sep-
arate processors: Autogate, Compress and Limit, covering a variety of 
dynamic processing functions. The window is divided into three sec-
tions, containing controls and meters for each processor.  
Activating the individual Processors
 
You activate the individual processors by clicking on their labels. Acti-
vated processors have highlighted labels.

Autogate section
 
Gating, or noise gating, is a method of dynamic processing that si-
lences audio signals below a certain set threshold level. As soon as 
the signal level exceeds the set threshold, the gate opens to let the 
signal through. Autogate offers all the features of a standard noise 
gate, plus some very useful additional features, such as auto-calibra-
tion of the threshold setting, a look-ahead predict function, and fre-
quency selective triggering....
