2. Filters – two resonant multi-mode filters, with morphing between low pass, band pass, high pass, and
notch frequency response modes.
3. Saturators – two saturation stages for creating tube-like distortion.
4. Output and Panning – two sets of output level and stereo panning controls.
5. Master Level Controls – gain controls for the input signal and the processed and unprocessed output
signals, switches to mix the input signals to mono and to silence the input signal altogether.
6. LFOs – two low-frequency oscillators for modulating the signal-processing modules, or each other,
with four basic wave shapes, a shape control which warps the wave shapes in different ways, and a
sync button which causes the LFO to follow the tempo of your VST host.
7. Envelope Follower – a modulator that measures the loudness of the incoming sound and generates a
modulation signal for creating effects such as automatic filter sweeps, triggered flanging, and ducked
delays.
8. Routing Matrix – two sets of switching matrixes for connecting the inputs and outputs of all signal-
processing modules, and for connecting the modulators to parameters of the signal-processing
modules.
Each of these modules operates completely independently. For example, you can use one delay module
looping several seconds of audio while using the second delay module to add a slapback echo.
Routing Matrix
Ronin has two arrays of switches, together called the routing matrix, for making connections between audio
modules and modulators. There are two arrays, one for connecting modulators to the audio modules that they
control, and one for connecting audio modules to each other. This is because Ronin treats audio data and
modulation data differently. You cannot use audio data as a source of modulation data, and you cannot listen
to modulation data.
The switch arrays allow the audio modules to be connected to each other in any order or combination. Signals
from one module can be connected to several other modules, and the signals from several modules can be
mixed together and fed to one or more other modules.
