Effects Reference 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 level. Spatial and Panner Effects Stereo Pan This effect allows you to set the stereo position and width of the signal. Input Swap Swaps the stereo channels. Pan Sets the pan position of the signal. The panning is available for mono and stereo input signals. Width Adjusts the stereo width of the signal from stereo to mono.
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 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 check for possible unwanted coloring of the sound which sometimes can occur when enhancing the stereo image. Legacy Effects HALion 3 Legacy Effects In addition to the standard effects, a number of effects from HALion 3 is also provided. These effects can be selected from the Legacy submenu of the effects menu. Hall Reverb A simple reverb with adjustable pre-delay and damping. PreDelay Delays the wet signal to simulate larger acoustic spaces or to create a slap-back effect. Time Length of reverb tail. Damp Progressive damping of high frequencies. Low EQ Low-cut EQ. High EQ High-cut EQ. Mix Wet/dry mix.
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 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. Time Length of reverb tail. It also allows you to change the sound from dense early reflections to a trashy, grainy 80’s-type reverb. Low EQ Low-cut EQ. High EQ High-cut EQ. Mix Wet/dry mix. Delay A simple mono-in/stereo-out delay. Time Delay time. Sync If Sync is activated, you can set the delay time in fractions of beats. Feedback Controls the number of delay repeats. Balance Ratio of left delay time to right delay time.
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 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. Damp High-cut filter to soften delay repeats. Long Delay This effect provides the same parameter set as the Delay effect, except that longer delays of up to four seconds can be set. Tape Delay Simulation of a vintage 4-head analog tape delay. Time Delay time. Sync If Sync is activated, you can set the delay time in fractions of beats. Feedback Controls the number of delay repeats. Vintage Amount of vintage color and tape flutter. Mix Wet/dry mix. Head 1 Delay level 1 (the output is panned left).
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 255Head 2 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. Mix Wet/dry mix. Ensemble Chorus with a more complex modulation waveform for a lively thickening effect. Rate The modulation rate. Depth The amount of pitch modulation. Shimmer Creates a more complex modulation effect. Width Stereo width adjustment. Mix Wet/dry mix.
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 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. Rate Sweep rate. Depth Sweep depth. Feedback Feedback amount. Increase for a more pronounced effect. Stereo Offset between left and right modulation. Center Sets the center frequency around which the modulation occurs. Mix Wet/dry mix. Pan & Tremolo Autopan and Tremolo effect as used in vintage electric pianos. Rate Sweep rate. Phase Relative phase of left and right channel amplitude modulation, to vary from tremolo to autopan.
Effects Reference Legacy 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. Delay Delay time (not used in Adjust and Swap modes). Width Overall width adjustment. Low/Mid/High Width adjustment for the low, mid, and high frequencies. Output Output level trim. Rotary Speaker Simulation of a rotary speaker cabinet with high and low rotors. Rate Master speed control: Stop, Slow, Fast. Dirt Amount of overdrive. LoHi Crossover frequency between low and high rotors. Width Stereo width. Tone Adjusts the tone of the overdriven signal. Low/High Speed Speed of the high and low rotors.
Effects Reference Legacy Effects 258Low/High Acceleration Acceleration of the high and low rotors. Mix Wet/dry mix. Wah Pedal An auto-wah effect. Rate Modulation rate. Depth Modulation depth. Pedal Adjusts the filter frequency. Mode •Auto Wah: Envelope controlled wah effect. •Pedal Wah: No modulation. The Pedal parameter sets the frequency. •Mod Wah: LFO modulation. The Rate parameter controls the modulation rate. Resonance Sets the amount of filter resonance. Tracking Adjusts the envelope tracking speed in Auto mode, and the envelope rate modulation in Mod mode. Mix Wet/dry mix. TalkBox Modulated vowel formant filter. Rate LFO modulation rate. Depth LFO modulation depth. Vowel In center setting, vowels are produced when there is no modulation. Env Mod Amount of vowel modulation by input signal level.
