Overdrive effect and the Drive parameter of the Filter
section is that Drive affects one single voice, while this
effect type distorts the summed output of the whole output
signal. Therefore, the resulting effect is different as soon as
you play more than one note and you should consider
which is best suited to a particular sound program.
Overdrive Type Diverse
Determines the character of the drive. The following drive
curves are available:
• Tube simulates the asymmetric distortion of a tube
circuit.
•
Diode generates a typical transistor distortion.
• Clip generates a typical digital clipping.
Drive 0...54dB
Controls the amount of distortion the effect produces. Low
values create no or only slight distortion while high values
create heavier distortion.
Post Gain -∞...0dB
Controls the output level of the distorted signal.
Tone 11.56 Hz…Bypass
Dampens the high frequency output of the Overdrive
effect.
Chorus
A Chorus effect is generated by using modulated Comb
filters that generate slightly detuned copies of the input
signal and mix it into the output signal. The result sounds
like an ensemble of several simultaneous sounds, like a
choir as opposed to a single voice; hence the name
Chorus. The detuning is generated by an internal LFO that
can be controlled in speed and depth. The Chorus’ high
frequency output can be dampened with the Cutoff
parameter. The Chorus effect offers besides the known 2
Stage mode (1 left, 1 right) also 4 (2 / 2) and 6 (3 / 3) Stage
modes. This results in a far denser chorus effect perfectly
suited for lush string or pad sounds. Furthermore, it sports
feedback, which makes the Chorus also act like a Flanger.
Stages 2 / 4 / 6
Sets the number of Chorus stages. Higher settings result in
a denser effect.
