Audio Damage Replicant 1.5 - Manual (Page 16)

can increase the amplitude of the signal substantially. Please exercise caution and use the volume slider to
compensate.
Level Controls
The VOLUME slider controls the volume (loudness) of the looped and filtered audio signal. Moving this slider
to the right makes the processed signal get louder. It has a range of -40dB (quite a lot of attenuation) to
+6dB (a modest amount of boost). You can use this slider to compensate for the loudness changes created by
the resonant filters and/or the bit-depth reducer. The unprocessed signal is not affected by this control.
The DECAY slider determines how much, if any, the looped audio diminishes in loudness
each time it is played. If the DECAY slider is at the far left, the looped audio is played back
with the same loudness with each repetition. If you move the slider to the right the looped
audio becomes quieter each time it repeats. At the far right position the audio usually
fades out altogether before you hear the last repetition. You can use this control to make
Replicant sound more like a traditional delay effect. This control has a range of 0dB (no decay) to -6dB per
repetition.
Trigger Keyboard and MIDI Triggering
Replicant can be triggered by MIDI note messages. You can use a MIDI
keyboard to interactively slice and repeat audio passing through
Replicant. The pitch of the note sets the length of the repetitions as
shown on the keyboard diagram at the lower left of Replicant‟s window.
The lowest key on the diagram corresponds to MIDI note C2. For example, if you play F2 on your MIDI
keyboard, Replicant will start repeating a chunk of audio 1/16
th of a measure in length. If you hold down the
D3 or E3 keys before pressing another key, Replicant will play dotted or triplet values, respectively.
Replicant will keep repeating as long as you hold down the MIDI key. MIDI triggering overrides Replicant‟s
own triggering, but is affected by the various randomization sliders.
You can also click the keyboard diagram with the mouse to trigger Replicant.
MIDI Controllers
Replicant responds to MIDI continuous controller messages. You can use hardware MIDI controllers, such as
MIDI slider boxes or the knobs found on some MIDI keyboards, to adjust Replicant‟s parameters.
