Flanger
 
Flanger is a classic flanger effect with stereo enhancement. Parameters 
are as follows: 
Parameter Description 
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If the 
Flanger is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you 
can control the dry/effect balance with the send. 
Tempo sync 
on/offThe button above the Rate knob is used to switch tempo sync on or off. 
The button is blue when tempo sync is on, and white when it is...

You can also change parameters in the graphic display window. This 
works as follows: 
• 
If tempo sync is on, you can set the base note value by clicking the 
waveform and dragging left and right. 
When tempo sync is off, this sets the Rate parameter.
 
• 
You can set the Depth parameter by clicking the waveform and drag-
ging up and down. 
This means you can freely adjust Rate and Depth at the same time by clicking and 
dragging.

Metalizer
 
The Metalizer feeds the audio signal through a variable frequency fil-
ter, with tempo sync or time modulation and feedback control. 
• Note that clicking and dragging in the display allows you to adjust the 
Sharpness and Tone parameters at the same time!
 
Parameter Description 
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Metalizer 
is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you can con-
trol the dry/effect balance...

Phaser
 
The Phaser plug-in produces the classic “swooshing” sound that 
characterizes phasing. It works by shifting the phase of the signal and 
adding it back to the original signal, causing partial cancellation of the 
frequency spectrum.
You can also change parameters in the graphic display window. This 
works as follows: 
• 
If tempo sync is on, you can set the base note value by clicking the 
waveform and dragging left and right. 
When tempo sync is off, this...

• 
You can set the Feedback parameter by clicking the waveform and 
dragging up and down. 
This means you can freely adjust the Rate and Feedback at the same time by clicking 
and dragging.
 
• 
By click-dragging the blue/green line in the display left or right you 
can change the Stereo Basis parameter.

Ringmodulator
 
The Ringmodulator can produce complex, bell-like enharmonic sounds. 
Ring modulators work by multiplying two audio signals. The ring modu-
lated output contains added frequencies generated by the sum of, and 
the difference between, the frequencies of the two signals. 
The Ringmodulator has a built-in oscillator that is multiplied with the 
input signal to produce the effect.

LFO Waveform Selects the LFO waveform; square, sine, saw or triangle.
LFO Speed Sets the LFO Speed.
LFO Env. Amount Controls how much the input signal level – via the envelope gen-
erator – affects the LFO speed. Positive and negative values can 
be set, with center position representing no modulation. Left of 
center, a loud input signal will slow down the LFO, whereas right 
of center a loud input signal will speed it up.
Invert Stereo This inverts the LFO waveform for...

Rotary
 
The Rotary plug-in simulates the classic effect of a rotary speaker. A ro-
tary speaker cabinet features variable speed rotating speakers to pro-
duce a swirling chorus effect, commonly used with organs. Rotary 
features all the parameters associated with the real thing. The included 
presets provide good starting points for further tweaking of the numer-
ous parameters.
The parameters are as follows: 
Parameter Description

Directing MIDI to the Rotary
 
For real-time MIDI control of the Speed parameter, MIDI must be 
directed to the Rotary.  
• 
Whenever the Rotary has been selected as a Send or Insert effect, it 
will be available on the “out:” pop-up menu for MIDI Tracks. 
If Rotary is selected on the “out:” menu, MIDI will be directed to the plug-in from the 
selected Track.

Symphonic
 
The Symphonic plug-in combines a stereo enhancer, an auto-panner 
synchronized to tempo and a chorus-type effect. For best results, ap-
ply the Symphonic effect to stereo signals.
The parameters are as follows:  
Parameter Description 
Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Sym-
phonic is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you 
can control the dry/effect balance with the send.
