Introduction
 
This document describes the VST effects from old versions of Cubase 
VST (Cubase VST 5 and earlier), included for reasons of compatibility.

Cubase 5 audio effect plug-ins
 
Autopole
 
The Autopole is a filter effect containing two separate filters capable of 
operating in four different modes, an Envelope Generator and an LFO 
with four different waveforms. It also lets you choose between three dif-
ferent Signal Routing modes to control how an incoming signal should 
be sent through the filters.
The Autopole should be used as an insert effect. If you want to apply 
it on several...

The parameters for the different “sections” of the Autopole are the fol-
lowing: 
The Filters
 
Parameter Description  
Filter Mode buttons 
(LP, BP, HP, Notch)These buttons let you decide in which mode the Filter should op-
erate:
LP: This is a Low-Pass Filter that “filters out” the high frequency 
content of the incoming signal, according to a certain set thresh-
old level. Only signals below the threshold will pass through.
BP: This is a...

Signal Routing
 
By clicking one of the three buttons, you choose how an input stereo 
signal will pass though the filters. The signal flow chart to the left of 
the buttons indicates the path:  
•  
Option # 1 will have the signal from each channel pass through both 
of the filters in series (one after the other).  
•  
With option # 2, the signal from each channel will pass through both 
of the filters in parallel, and then be mixed at the...

LFO
 
These are the controls for the Low Frequency Oscillator, used for 
adding continuous filter movement, wah-wah effects, etc: 
Output Controls
 
Chopper2
 
Chopper2 is an earlier version of the Chopper plug-in, included for 
reasons of compatibility. It has the same parameters as Chopper with 
the addition of independent input and output level settings. 
Parameter Description  
Frequency This slider controls the speed of the LFO. The...

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 Values Description  
Input -24dB to 0dB Sets the Input level.
Output -24dB to 0dB 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 Linear,...

Karlette
 
The Karlette is a four-channel delay that emulates a “tape-loop” echo. 
The four “tape-heads” can be set to a certain note value or a certain 
time, depending on whether Tempo Sync is activated or not. 
For the four “tape-heads”, you can set the following parameters:
In addition, the following global parameters are available: 
Parameter Description  
Delay With the sync button activated, the delay can be set to a note value...

Metalizer2
 
The Metalizer2 is an older version of the Metalizer plug-in, included for 
reasons of compatibility. 
MIDIComb
 
This is a comb filter, which can be described as one or several very 
short delays with high feedback, causing resonating peaks at certain 
frequencies. To operate, the MIDI Comb needs both audio and MIDI 
input. While the MIDI Comb is used as an insert effect on an audio 
channel, the signals that actually trigger it...
