Filter Effects 
221Morph Filter
Morph Filter allows you to mix low-pass and high-pass filter effects, allowing for creative
morphings between two filters. You can specify the filter shapes independently for filter
shape A and B.
Filter Shape B
Here, you can choose between several high-pass and band-rejection filter
shapes.
Filter Shape A
Here, you can select a low-pass or a band-pass filter shape.
Morph
Allows you to mix the output between the two selected filters.

222Resonator Shape
Defines the basic sound character of the effect. Each shape is a unique
combination of different filter types for the low, mid, and high frequency bands.

Cutoff
Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter, that is, the center frequency of the
formant region.
Resonance
Adjusts the resonance of the filter. The resonance determines how much the
formant region is emphasized. At higher settings, the filter self-oscillates, which
results in a ringing tone.
Gain
Adjusts the input gain of the filter. The gain determines the level of the formant
region.
LFO Modulation Source
Allows you to select the LFO that modulates...

square wave is produced.
•Ramp is similar to the Saw waveform. Shape increasingly puts silence
before the sawtooth ramp up begins.
•Log produces a logarithmic modulation. Shape continuously changes the
logarithmic curvature from negative to positive.
•S & H 1 produces randomly stepped modulation, where each step is
different. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S & H into
a...

225Gain Low/Gain High
These parameters determine the gain of the filter for the low and high pedal
positions.
Slope
Here, you can choose between two filter slope values: 6 dB or 12 dB.

Amplifier
This effect emulates the sound of an amplifier with speakers.
There are different amplifiers and speaker models you can combine.

226High Damp
Attenuates the high frequencies of the speakers.
Channel Mode
Defines which output channels of the amplifier deliver a distorted signal. You can
set it to L (Left), R (Right) or L/R (Both). When set to L or R, the other channel
provides a clean signal.
Output
Controls the output level of the amplifier.
Distortion
This effect offers the whole range of distortion, from low fidelity, digital distortion to high
fidelity, analog sounding distortion. The...

227VST Amp
This effect emulates the sound of an amplifier with speakers. There are different amplifiers
and speaker models you can combine.
Amp Model
Specifies the amplifier type. The sound character of the overdrive changes with
the amplifier. To bypass the amp modeling, select No Amplifier.
Speaker Model
Specifies the speaker model type. Each model colors the sound uniquely. To
bypass the speaker modeling, select No Cabinet.
Drive
Adjusts the amount of overdrive....

228•L (Left) only distorts the left input channel. The right channel remains
clean and unprocessed.
•R (Right) only distorts the right input channel. The left channel remains
clean and unprocessed.
•L+R (Left + Right) sums the two input channels into a mono signal which is
then distorted.
•Stereo distorts the two input channels independently.
NOTE
The L and R modes allow you to cascade two VST Amp effects, that is, to use the
first one to processes the left channel...

Pitch Shift Effects 
229High Filter
Here, you can attenuate the high frequency range. This high-cut filter works with
a slope of 24 dB/octave.
Output
Determines the level of the output signal.
Tube Saturator
This effect enriches the sound by adding the characteristic harmonics of a saturated tube to
the audio signal.
Oversampling
Increases the accuracy of the effect by oversampling.
NOTE
If this parameter is activated, the effect requires more processing power.

Octave 1
Determines the level of the signal that is produced an octave below the original
voice.
Octave 2
Determines the level of the signal that is produced an octave above the original
voice.

Chorus
Chorus thickens and broadens the sound by means of pitch modulation.
