Chorus
The Chorus plug-in (only available in the Master Section) is a classic ste-
reo chorus based on a sweeping delay, with the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Delay (0.1~60ms) Use this parameter to specify the basic time delay for the chorused sig-
nal with respect to the “dry” signal. The higher the value, the more pro-
minent the effect. Low settings (up to 7ms) create flanger-like effects. 
Settings up to 25ms are for classic chorus while...

Crystal Resampler
The Crystal Resampler plug-in (only available in the Master Section) is a 
professional sample rate converter providing exceptional transparency 
and preservation of the frequency content:
Echo
The Echo plug-in (only available in the Master Section) is a stereo echo 
effect with two separate delay lines. It has the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Sample Rate (6 - 
384 kHz)This defines the output sample rate while the input sample...

EQ-1
EQ-1 is available both as a VST and a WaveLab plug-in. It can be used as 
a clip or track effect in the Audio Montage, or as a global effect in the 
Master Section (including multichannel configurations). 
This is a three-band equalizer with high and low shelving filters and a full 
parametric mid-frequency band. You can turn off each band separately by 
clicking the corresponding button, making it easy to compare the signal 
with and without EQ. The...

Leveler & Leveler Multi
This plug-in is available both as a VST and a WaveLab plug-in. It can be 
used as a clip or track effect in the Audio Montage, or as a global effect in 
the Master Section. 
Leveler Multi is adapted to handle multichannel configurations and can be 
used to change the level of all channels in the Master Section.
This “effect” simply reduces or boosts the signal level. This is useful for 
matching levels between effects. You may want to...

Peak Master
This plug-in is available both as a VST and a WaveLab plug-in. It can be 
used as a clip effect in the Audio Montage, or as a global effect in the 
Master Section (including multichannel configurations). This plug-in pro-
vides a safe and transparent way of boosting the perceived loudness of 
audio material. By limiting transients and simultaneously raising the ge-
neral level by compression, the Peak Master will increase the subjective 
loudness...

ReSampler
The Resampler (only available in the Master Section) plays back the file at 
another sample rate. This is similar to the Convert Sample Rate function. 
However, since the ReSampler processor operates in real time, it lets you 
play back files at a certain sample rate, regardless of which rate they were 
recorded at. Please note that if your files already match the card’s sample 
rate, you do not need to use this processor at all.
One situation where...

Silence
The Silence plug-in (only available in the Master Section) lets you add si-
lent portions at the start and/or end of a file. This can be useful for exam-
ple in conjunction with effects such as reverb and delay which produce 
audio “tails” – i.e. the sound of the effect lingers after the end of the file – 
since the sound of the effect would otherwise be muted at the end of the 
file. To remedy this, just place the Silence plug-in before the other...

VST Plug-ins
About VST Plug-ins
These plug-ins use Steinberg’s widely adapted VST plug-in format. As a 
rule, VST plug-ins can be used by any VST-compatible application, al-
though some plug-ins may still be limited to use with certain programs. 
Note:
• VST Plug-ins can be used in the Master Section (but not for multichannel 
configurations) or as track or clip effects in the Audio Montage.
The only exception to this is the “Ducker” effect, which can only be...

Choirus2
Choirus2 is a chorus effect, used for making the sound “warmer”, etc. It 
has the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Time  Use this parameter to specify the basic time delay for the chorused sig-
nal with respect to the “dry” signal. The higher the value, the more pro-
minent the effect. Low settings create flanger-like effects, medium 
settings provides classic chorus while higher settings are mainly for 
special effects.
Width  Use this...

CleanComp
CleanComp is a simple compressor that allows you to limit loud sounds, 
while at the same time boosting the overall loudness of the audio material.
DeClicker
The DeClicker plug-in is specifically designed to eliminate single “clicks” 
or “pops” in a recording. One typical application is to clean up recordings 
made from vinyl records, but you may also find it useful for removing pops 
from microphone switches, oxidized connector noises, clicks from...
