EFFECTS - MOD

Chorus

The basic idea of a chorus effect is to split the signal and pitch modulate one of the signals slightly, then mix the two signals again.

Speed

Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz

This parameter sets the speed of the effect.

Tempo

Range: Ignore, 2 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D= Dotted) When set to any value between 1 and 1/32T. G-Natural’s Global Tempo is subdivided according to this setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set by the Speed parameter is used instead.

The Tap Master parameter – located in the Utility menu – specifies whether the Global tempo or the tempo set by the Speed parameter in each preset

should be used at preset change.

Depth

Range: 0 to 100%

The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of the effect. The value represents the amplitude of the modulating waveform.

Hi-Cut

Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

This parameter reduces the high-end frequencies in the chorus effect. Try using this parameter if you feel the chorus effect is too dominant in your sound and turning down the Mix or Out level doesn’t give you the dampening of the Chorus effect you are looking for.

Flanger

The Flanger belongs to the same “family” of modulation effects as the Chorus effect. The signal is split, and one of the signals is pitch modulated.

The characteristic “flanging” sound occurs when part of the signal is slightly delayed and fed back to the input of the effect algorithm. Experiment with the Feedback parameter to get familiar with the achievable effects.

Speed

Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz

This parameter sets the speed of the effect.

Tempo

Range: Ignore, 2 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D= Dotted) When set to any value between 1 and 1/32T, the G-Natural’s Global Tempo is subdivided according to this setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set by the Speed parameter is used instead.

The Tap Master parameter – located in the Utility menu – specifies whether the Global tempo or the tempo set by the Speed parameter in each preset

should be used at preset change.

Depth

Range: 0 to 100%

The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of the effect. The value represents the amplitude of the modulating waveform.

FeedB – FeedBack Range: -100 to 100

This parameter controls the amount of feedback (Resonance) of the short modulated delay that causes the Flanging effect. When the Feedback is set too high (above approximately 90% to 95%), this might introduce internal feedback, resulting in a squealing noise that in most cases is unwanted in flanging effects. Beware of this side-effect when experimenting at high volumes. Negative values inverse the phase of the signal that is fed back to the algorithm’s Input.
