Audio Damage Ronin - Manual (Page 6)

6
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Ronin, Audio Damage’s modular multi-effects plug-in. While Ronin was built
primarily for delay-based effects and looping, its modular architecture and complement of filters and low-
frequency oscillators allows it to create a wide range of sounds.
This manual provides a brief overview of Ronin, followed by detailed descriptions of all of its modules. You’re
entirely welcome to plunge ahead, install Ronin, and flip through its presets without reading any further.
However, to make full use of Ronin’s extensive capabilities, you will find it helpful to return to this document
for a thorough reading. This manual provides detailed descriptions of all of the modules, information about
using MIDI hardware to control Ronin, and in-depth explanations of four example presets to illustrate how
Ronin patches are created and used.
Warning
Ronin is a powerful and flexible plug-in which allows you to connect signal processing modules together in
almost endless ways. There is nothing that will stop you from creating feedback loops, howling oscillations,
and badly distorted signals. This power comes with a price: Ronin can generate extremely loud sounds,
suddenly and without warning. Please be cautious and use moderate volume levels with your speakers or
headphones. As with any new audio toy, you should be particularly careful when you are first learning to use
Ronin.
Throughout this manual, we use this symbol to call attention to feedback configurations that are
particularly likely to create loud sounds. Remember, though, that the health and safety of your
ears (and your speakers) is your responsibility.
