NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 41 •The horizontal axis shows the pattern steps 1-16 from left to right, and the vertical axis determines the (relative) filter cutoff frequency and resonance setting. The higher up on the vertical axis a step value is entered, the higher the relative filter cutoff frequency or filter resonance setting. •By starting playback and editing the patterns for the cutoff and reso- nance parameters, you can hear how your filter patterns affect the sound source...

NUENDO 1 – 42 The included effect plug-ins StepFilter parameters Parameter/Value Description Base Cutoff This sets the base filter cutoff frequency. Cutoff values set in the Cutoff grid window are values relative to the Base Cutoff value. Base Resonance This sets the base filter resonance. Resonance values set in the Resonance grid window are values relative to the Base Reso- nance value. Note that very high Base Resonance settings can produce loud ringing effects at certain frequencies. Glide This...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 43 Tonic – Analog Modeling Filter Tonic is a versatile and powerful analog modeling filter plug-in based on the filter design of the Monologue monophonic synthesizer. Its vari- able characteristics plus the powerful modulation functions make it an excellent choice for all current music styles. Designed to be more a creative tool rather than a tool to fix audio problems, it can add color and punch to your tracks while being light on CPU usage. The Tonic Analog...

NUENDO 1 – 44 The included effect plug-ins Filter Env Mod Parameter Description Mode Sets the filter type. Available filter types are: 24 dB Low pass, 18 dB Low pass, 12 dB Low pass, 6 dB Low pass, 12 dB Band pass and 12 dB High pass. Cutoff Sets the filter cutoff frequency. How this parameter operates is governed by the filter type. Res Changes the resonance of the multi-mode filter. Full resonance puts the filter into self-oscillation. Drive Drive adds a soft, tube-like saturation to the sound....

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 45 LFO Mod X/Y Pad Parameter Description Mode Sets the direction of the step LFO modulation. The available modes are: Forward, Reverse, Alternating, and Random. Depth Controls the amount of LFO modulation applied to the filter cutoff level. Rate Controls the speed of the LFO modulation. The LFO rate is always in sync with the song tempo. For example: a rate of 4.00 steps per beat advances the step sequencer in 16th notes at a 4/4 time sig- nature. A rate of...

NUENDO 1 – 46 The included effect plug-ins Modulation plug-ins This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the “Modulation” category. Chorus The Chorus plug-in adds short delays to the signal, and pitch modu- lates the delayed signals to produce a “doubling” effect. The parameters are as follows: •Note that clicking and dragging in the display allows you to adjust the Frequency and Delay parameters at the same time! Parameter Description Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 47 Flanger Flanger is a classic flanger effect with stereo enhancement. The parameters are as follows: Parameter Description MixSets 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. Output Sets the overall volume. Tempo sync on/offThe button above the Rate knob is used to switch tempo sync on or off. The button is lit when...

NUENDO 1 – 48 The included effect plug-ins You can also change parameters in the graphic display. 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. •By click-dragging the green/blue line in the...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 49 Metalizer The Metalizer feeds the audio signal through a variable frequency filter, 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...

NUENDO 1 – 50 The included effect plug-ins 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. Parameter Description Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If the Phaser is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance with the send. Output...
