Audio Damage 914 Fixed Filter Bank Upgrade From 907a - Manual (Page 9)

6. The DRY LEVEL knob controls the amount of the original, unfiltered input signal that is present in the
output of the plug-in. If the knob is rotated fully counter-clockwise, the signal is attenuated by 80dB,
which makes the original signal inaudible. As you rotate the knob clockwise, more and more of the
unfiltered input signal is mixed into the output signal. If the knob is rotated fully clockwise, the input
signal is passed to the output without any reduction.
During your initial experimentation with this plug-in you will find it useful to use an input signal with wide
frequency content, such as a buzzy synthesizer pad. For example, if you turn all of the knobs fully
counterclockwise, then turn up the knob labeled
1000, you will hear only signals with frequency content at or
around 1000Hz. If your input signal doesn’t have any frequency content near 1000Hz, you won’t hear
anything at all.
MIDI Controllers
The VST version of 914 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 914’s
parameters.
The VST version of 914 has a simple “MIDI Learn” mode for assigning its knobs to MIDI controllers. To assign
a knob to a MIDI controller:
1. Hold down the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys on your PC’s keyboard, or
SHIFT
and
CMD
keys if you’re using a Mac,
and click once on the knob. A white box will be drawn around the control to indicate that it is ready to
learn which MIDI controller it will be assigned to.
2. Move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the button,
move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
3. The white square will disappear. Now the 914’s knob will move when you manipulate the MIDI
controller.
914 waits until it has received two consecutive continuous controller messages with the same controller
number before it makes an assignment. This filters out extraneous data sent by some MIDI controllers. If you
are assigning a button or switch on a MIDI controller, you may have to press or move the switch twice before
914 recognizes the controller and assigns it to the desired knob.
