When used as a Channel effect:

If you use D-Pole as a Channel effect, it is fed with a monophonic input signal. You can
use the Panning dial to position this monophonic signal anywhere in the stereo
spectrum.

Turn the Panning dial to the left to position the filter output signal on the left side of
the stereo spectrum.

Turn the Panning dial to the right to position the filter output signal on the right side
of the stereo spectrum.

Turn the Panning dial to a middle position to place the filter output signal in the
middle of the stereo spectrum.

When used as a Master effect:

If you use D-Pole as Master effect it is fed with a stereophonic input signal. Panning is
used to control the balance of the output signal. This means that it controls the left and
right output volumes.

Turn the Panning dial to the left to reduce volume on the right channel of the filter
output signal and slightly increase volume on the left channel.

Turn the Panning dial to the right to reduce volume on the left channel of the filter
output signal and slightly increase volume on the right channel.

Turn the Panning dial to a middle position to get an even volume on both channels
carrying the filter output signal.

Bypass and Active

Bypass, Active

By clicking on one of these “LEDs” you determine the signal flow:

Active

: The audio signal is routed through D-Pole’s filter and through its amplifier.

All D-Pole parameters are active.

Bypass

: Only Volume and Panning are active. The blocks Filter, Ring Modulator,

Overdrive and Delay are bypassed and do not change the signal. This is also true for
the LFO and the Envelope Follower. Volume and Panning are still active to make su-
re that the signal’s volume and stereo position remain intact. This is handy for quick
A/B comparisons between the filtered and non-filtered signal.

The Sample Rate dial

Use this control to set the sample rate used to read out the input signal. Possi-
ble settings range from 1 Hz to the current sample rate (e.g. 44100 Hz).


Turn the Sample Rate dial to the left to reduce the sample rate.

Turn the Sample Rate dial to the right to increase the sample rate.

This control is usually set to the current sample rate, which makes sure that all samples
that come in as the input signal are passed on to the filter. Setting lower values has the
effect that only certain samples are selected and kept for a certain time, before another
sample is being selected from the input signal. This results in a “trashy” filter signal
