Spatial and Panner Effects 
251Envelope Shaper
This effect can be used to attenuate or boost the gain of the attack and release phase of
audio material.
Be careful with levels when boosting the gain and, if needed, reduce the output level to avoid
clipping.
Attack – Gain
Changes the gain of the attack phase of the signal.
Attack - Length
Determines the length of the attack phase of the signal.
Release - Gain
Changes the gain of the release phase of the signal.
Output
Sets the output...

252Stereo Enhancer
This plug-in expands the stereo width of (stereo) audio material. It cannot be used with mono
files.
Width
Controls the width or depth of the stereo enhancement. Turn clockwise to
increase the enhancement.
Delay
Increases the amount of differences between the left and right channels to
further increase the stereo effect.
Color
Generates additional differences between the channels to increase the stereo
enhancement.
Mono
Switches the output to mono, to...

253Non-Linear Reverb
A gated reverb with a sharp cutoff.
Time
Length of reverb tail. It also allows you to change the sound from dense early
reflections to a trashy, grainy 1980’s-type reverb.
Low EQ
Low-cut EQ.
High EQ
High-cut EQ.
Mix
Wet/dry mix.
Early Reflections
A short, dense reverb for simulating small acoustic spaces and to thicken or blur sounds.

254Damp
High-cut filter to soften delay repeats.
Stereo Delay
A stereo-in/stereo-out delay.
Time
Delay time.
Feedback
Controls the number of delay repeats. For minimum feedback, set the slider to
the mid position. By moving the slider to the left or right, cross delay is applied,
where left output feeds back into right input or vice versa.
Sync
If Sync is activated, you can set the delay time in fractions of beats.
Balance
Ratio of left delay time to right delay time....

Delay level 2 (the output is panned right).
Head 3
Delay level 3.
Head 4
Delay level 4.
Pan 3+4
Varies the panning of delays 3 and 4 from center to hard left/right.
Vol 3+4
Varies the volume of delay outputs 3 and 4.
Chorus
A straightforward chorus effect that can be used to widen sounds.
Rate
The modulation rate.
Depth
The amount of pitch modulation.
PreDelay
The initial delay, to vary the tightness of the chorused voices in relation to the dry
signal.

256Flanger
A classic flanger effect.
Rate
Sweep rate.
Depth
Sweep depth.
Feedback
Feedback amount. Increase for a more intense flanging effect.
PreDelay
Initial delay. Adjusts the minimum delay time/maximum flange frequency.
Mix
Wet/dry mix.
Phaser
A four pole phaser for subtle phasing effects.

257Shape
Shape of modulation waveform from thin pulse, through sine, to fat pulse.
Mix
Wet/dry mix.
Stereo Width
A stereo width enhancer with 4 modes.
Mode
•Adjust mode adjusts the existing width of the stereo signal.
•Swap mode adjusts the existing width of the stereo signal and additionally
swaps the left and right channels.
•Comb mode applies a stereo comb filter effect.
•Haas mode synthesizes the stereo width by delaying one channel.
