The Double effect block creates the impression
that one or more vocalists are singing in unison,
with small differences in the timing and timbre of
each voice. Some refer to doubling as “thicken-
ing” or “double tracking”. The latter references a
recording studio method of singing the same vo-
cal part on two separate tracks and playing them
back simultaneously.
Style parameter
Use the Style parameter to set the number of
voices and the timing of the double.
Choose from the following styles:
► 1 Voice Tight*
► 1 Voice Loose*
► 2 Voices Tight*
► 2 Voices Loose*
► Shout
► 1 Voice Oct Up
► 1 Voice Oct Down
► 2 Voices Oct Up
► 2 Voices Oct Down
► Oct Up & Oct Down
* “Tight” and “Loose” refers to how closely the
double is timed with the lead vocal. Loose tim-
ing can feel “larger” or more effected.
Level parameter
Use the Level parameter to control the overall
level of the doubling effect. Press the right upper
soft button to select this parameter and use the
control knob to adjust the level. 0 dB is the maxi-
mum volume for the effect.
