Vir2 Instruments MOJO - Manual (Page 25)

There is some overlap between the ranges of the short and long
articulations. For example, it is possible to set long crescendos to
last 4 beats and short crescendos to also last 4 beats. MOJO will
utilize a different set of samples for each, and will time-stretch the
crescendos to fit the current tempo. Different tempos may result
in better results using one method or the other.
EFFECTS TAB
The Effects tab provides access to nine built-in audio effects that
can be applied to any MOJO instrument.
Each effect features an Active button that must be clicked (en-
abled) before it will process the audio.
EZRoom. EZRoom is an easy-to-use integrated convolution re-
verb included with MOJO, and provides a quick way to instantly
place the horns into a new acoustic space.
The Ezroom Menu allows you to choose which impulse response
to use. A large number of impulse responses have been provided
as part of the library.
The Predelay Knob lets you specify a predelay time for the con-
volution in milliseconds.
Dry And Wet Knobs allow you to adjust the balance of the dry
(unaffected) and wet (reverb) sound to taste.
The Equalizer is a 3-band equalizer and offers control over the
frequency, bandwidth, and gain of each band.
The Compressor takes the incoming audio signal, and attenuates
any signal that crosses the threshold (which can be adjusted us-
ing the Threshold knob) by the ratio (which can be adjusted using
the Ratio knob). In plain English, the Compressor makes loud sig-
nals a little softer, so that the dynamic range of the instrument is
more limited, and therefore more listenable and more likely to sit
in a mix well. In addition, once the Compressor limits the dynamic
range, the overall level of the instrument can now be boosted (us-
ing the Output knob). Attack and Release knobs are also provided,
which specify how fast the Compressor attenuates the signal and
how long it takes for the Compressor to stop attenuating the sig-
nal after the signal goes below the threshold.
Saturation is an effect that adds density (saturation) to the
sound. It has only one knob, Saturation. Raising this knob will
make the sound thicker and fuller and somewhat louder.
Distortion adds overdriven, amp-style distortion to the sound.
This is useful more as a special effect. Controls are provided for
Drive (overall level of added distortion) and Damping (a dulling
of the high frequencies as distortion is added).
