User Interface Front

RANGE

Defines the behavior of the

FREQUENCY

knob

(aka The Big Knob)

FINE

frequency shifting amount range from -200 Hz to 200 Hz

WIDE

frequency shifting amount range from -20 kHz to 20 kHz

SYNC

frequency shifting amount is synchronized to host tempo. This mode is useful
when creating AM or phaser effects with short feedback delays.

FRE-

QUENCY

knob lets you choose the synchronized rate with which a full cycle

completes.

(Use SIDEBAND A for upwards sweeping effects and SIDEBAND

B for downwards sweeping.)

Because of how Rack Extensions work internally the

FREQUENCY

knob will move if

you change the

RANGE

mode. There are actually three separate frequency shift pa-

rameters which you will also notice if you automate the knob or make MIDI controller
assignments. Among other things, this is necessary to provide the correct tooltip hint
depending on

RANGE

mode.

FREQUENCY

(shift amount)

The big center knob around which everything revolves: the amount of frequency shift-
ing. Notice that turning the knob clockwise shifts the frequencies up for

SIDEBAND B

but down for

SIDEBAND A

. Even with zero frequency shifting the "phases" of the input

signal frequencies will be distorted (as you will notice if you mix

Echobode

with the

source signal).

PHASE

When the frequency shifter is at 0 Hz or synchronized to the beat, this knob is useful to
adjust the phase distortion in a precise manner. You can use it to tune the spectral
"notches" and "peaks" that are produced when using

MIX

and / or

FEEDBACK

SIDEBAND

Lets you blend the two frequency shifted sidebands. At extreme settings you will have
the cleanest frequency shifting. In between you will obtain a more or less attenuate
