6.Presets

Effect	Description	Application examples
PARALLEL EFFECTS
Cathedral	Very dense and long reverberation of a large cathedral.	Solo instruments/vocals in slow pieces.
Plate	Simulates the sound of early plate reverberators.	A classic for drums (snare) and vocals.
Concert	Simulates a small theater or large concert hall.	Creates an “atmosphere”(e.g. radioplay voices).
Stage	Very dense reverb, especially for live applications.	Dissipates the sound of keyboard pads, for example.
Room	You can clearly hear the walls of the room.	Reverb effect that isn’t directly noticeable.
Studio	Adds spaciousness to the sound; signals sound natural, not “flat”.	Gives a sound source more “class”in the mix.
Small Hall	Simulates a small, lively (strongly reflecting) hall.	Perfect for processing drums.
Ambience	Reproduces a middle-sized room without late reflections.	Extremely versatile effect.
Early Reflections	Very dense reverb with pronounced early reflections.	Drums, percussion, slap bass
Spring Reverb	Simulates a classic spring reverberation.	Extremely versatile effect.
Gated Reverb	Reverb that is synthetically cut off	Produces a very “crisp”snare sound.
Reverse Reverb	Reverb with reversed envelope, i.e. it slowly gets louder.	Produces a very spaced out vocal sound.
Chorus	Slight detuning of the original signal.	Extremely versatile effect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Flanger	A slightly delayed signal is added to the original signal, producing phase shifting of the signals.	Extremely versatile effect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Phaser	Another phase-shift effect.	Extremely versatile effect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Rotary Speaker	Simulation of a classic effect for electronic organ.	Organ/keyboards.
Delay	Delay of the input signal with several repetitions.	Extremely versatile effect.
Chorus & Reverb	Combination of chorus and reverb.	A classic effect for vocals.
Flanger & Reverb	Flanger combined with a reverb effect.	All-purpose effect.
Phaser & Reverb	Phaser combined with a reverb effect.	All-purpose effect.
Rotary Speaker & Reverb	Rotary Speaker effect combined with reverb.	Organ/keyboards/electric guitar.
Delay & Reverb	Delay combined with reverb.	The most common combination for vocals, solo guitar, etc.
Delay & Chorus	Widens the signals and produces interesting repetition effects.	Makes vocals stand out in the mix. Good intelligibility is preserved.
Delay & Flanger	Similar to Delay & Chorus, but with audible up/downward modulation.	Ideal for creating a slightly spaced out sound.
INSERT EFFECTS
Compressor	Soft or loud passages are raised or lowered in level respectively.	Single signals, especially from microphones.
Expander	No dynamics limitation (see Compressor), but quite the opposite: interference	Single signals, especially from microphones.
	(noise, hum, etc.) is reduced in level.
Gate	A gate opens for a specific period of time to make a specific signal pass, and then closes abruptly.	“Controls”feedback-prone microphones/eliminates interference.
Ultramizer	Extremely efficient compression through automatic adaptation of compression parameters.	Gives mix signals a constant output level.
Ultrabass	Combines sub-harmonics processor, bass exciter and limiter.	Gives keyboard sounds some special “class”/sound effect for electric
		basses.
Panner	The signal “wanders”between the sides of the stereo basis.	Special effect, e.g. for radioplay soundtracking.
Exciter	Adds synthetic harmonics to the signal, resulting in increased presence and “loudness”.	Both mix and single signals. Improves intelligibility of vocal signals.
Auto Filter	Level-dependent boost of a specific frequency band, similar to auto-wah effect for electric guitars.	DJ-ing/sound effects for live events/electric guitar or bass.
Tube Distortion	Simulates the tube distortion of classic guitar amplifiers.	Electric guitar/vocals/keyboards.
Guitar Amp	Guitar amp simulation.	Electric guitar or bass.
Vinylizer	Adds the clicks and noise of old vinyl records.	DJ-ing/sound effects for live events.
Test Tone	1-kHz test tone.	Makes P.A. level setting easier.
