NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 51 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 Feedback parameter by clicking the waveform and dragging up and down. This means you can freely adjust the Rate and Feedback at the same time by clicking and dragging. •By click-dragging the blue/green...

NUENDO 1 – 52 The included effect plug-ins Ringmodulator The Ringmodulator can produce complex, bell-like enharmonic sounds. Ring modulators work by multiplying two audio signals. The ring modu- lated output contains added frequencies generated by the sum of, and the difference between, the frequencies of the two signals. The Ringmodulator has a built-in oscillator that is multiplied with the input signal to produce the effect. Parameter Description Oscillator LFO AmountLFO Amount controls how much...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 53 LFO Waveform Selects the LFO waveform; square, sine, saw or triangle. LFO Speed Sets the LFO Speed. LFO Env. Amount Controls how much the input signal level – via the envelope gen- erator – affects the LFO speed. Positive and negative values can be set, with center position representing no modulation. Left of center, a loud input signal will slow down the LFO, whereas right of center a loud input signal will speed it up. Invert StereoThis inverts the LFO...

NUENDO 1 – 54 The included effect plug-ins Rotary The Rotary plug-in simulates the classic effect of a rotary speaker. A rotary speaker cabinet features variable speed rotating speakers to produce a swirling chorus effect, commonly used with organs. Rotary features all the parameters associated with the real thing. The included presets provide good starting points for further tweaking of the numer- ous parameters. The parameters are as follows: Parameter Description Speed This controls the speed of...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 55 Directing MIDI to the Rotary For real-time MIDI control of the Speed parameter, MIDI must be directed to the Rotary. •Whenever the Rotary has been added as an insert effect (for an audio track or an FX channel), it will be available on the output (“out:”) pop- up menu for MIDI tracks. If Rotary is selected on the “out:” menu, MIDI will be directed to the plug-in from the selected track. Low Rotor Amp Mod. Adjusts amplitude modulation depth. Low Rotor Mix...

NUENDO 1 – 56 The included effect plug-ins Symphonic The Symphonic plug-in combines a stereo enhancer, an auto-panner synchronized to tempo and a chorus-type effect. For best results, ap- ply the Symphonic effect to stereo signals. The parameters are as follows: Parameter Description Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Sym- phonic is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum as you can control the dry/effect balance with the send. Tempo sync on/offThe...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 57 You can also change parameters in the graphic display. This works as follows: •You can set the Rate parameter by clicking the waveform and dragging left and right. •You can set the Depth parameter by clicking the waveform and dragging 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 display left or right you can change the Stereo Basis parameter.

NUENDO 1 – 58 The included effect plug-ins Tranceformer Tranceformer is a ring modulator effect, in which the incoming audio is ring modulated by an internal, variable frequency oscillator, producing new harmonics. A second oscillator can be used to modulate the fre- quency of the first oscillator, in sync with the Song tempo if needed. •Note that clicking and dragging in the display allows you to adjust the Tone and Depth parameters at the same time! Parameter Description Mix Sets the level balance...

NUENDO The included effect plug-ins 1 – 59 Other plug-ins This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the “Other” category. Bitcrusher If you’re into lo-fi sound, Bitcrusher is the effect for you. It offers the possibility of decimating and truncating the input audio signal by bit reduction, to get a noisy, distorted sound. You can for example make a 24 bit audio signal sound like an 8 or 4 bit signal, or even render it completely garbled and unrecognizable. The parameters are: Parameter...

NUENDO 1 – 60 The included effect plug-ins Chopper Chopper is a combined tremolo and autopan effect. It can use different waveforms to modulate the level (tremolo) or left-right stereo position (pan), either using tempo sync or manual modulation speed settings. The parameters are as follows: Parameter Description Mix Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the effect. If Chopper is used as a send effect, this should be set to maximum. Tempo sync on/offThe button above the Speed knob is...
