Ambience Effects (P1 3.7 – P1 4.9)

3.7 PhoneOrRoom? ADJUST: Pick One 0–1

Use ADJUST to choose between a mono telephone filter and a small room with stereo ambience. The Soft Row provides access to the filter controls as well as reverb design parameters.

3.8 CheapTV RoomADJUST: The Walls 1–10

This stereo preset simulates the sound of a Lo-Fi TV in a small room. Use ADJUST to change the reflectivity of the walls. The Soft Row provides access to the filter controls as well as reverb design parameters.

3.9 Empty StageADJUST: Liveness 0–100

Made for creating live sounding spaces. ADJUST opens the space to be more reflective and airy.

4.0 Tomb RoomADJUST: The Walls 1–10

Use this ambience preset to place source material within a very reflective tomb. ADJUST moves the source deeper into this scary space.

4.1 Comb RoomADJUST: Tone0–100

This effect provides a tunable comb filter and reverb to produce a highly colored ambience. Use ADJUST to change the tuning of the comb filter.

4.2 Zoom Over ADJUST: Speed 1–25

Run an effect (or even a continuous synthesizer drone) into this preset, and the sound will approach you from the center, spread out to the sides as it passes overhead, and recede into the distance behind you. ADJUST controls the speed of the fly-by. This effect will image properly in either 2-channel or Surround mixes.

4.3 OneShotCarByADJUST: Speed 1–100

Input level triggers this left-to-right drive-by. When signal is detected, it will move from left to right. Doppler pitch shift is simulated as the image moves across the stereo field. Use ADJUST to set the speed of the drive-by. Once audio has been detected, the effect will cycle once. To drive by again, stop and restart the audio track. To reverse the direction of the effect, set the Width parameter to –45 — you’ll find it in the Soft Row.

4.4 AmbientCarByADJUST: Speed 1–100

This is a variation of OneShotCarBy. In this preset the effect is enhanced with the addition of some stereo ambience. Also, in this variation the effect repeats automatically. ADJUST controls the speed of the drive-by.

4.5 HeadOn CarByADJUST: Speed 1–100

This preset uses less ambience than ZoomOver, and is more appropriate for things that approach on the road than in the air. ADJUST sets the speed of the effect. This effect will image properly in either 2-channel or Surround mixes.

4.6 2WayStreetADJUST: Speed 1–100

Another variation of AmbientCarBy. This preset produces both left-to-right and right-to- left drive-by effects — like listening to the sound of traffic on a two-way street. The speed for each direction is slightly different. ADJUST is a master speed control for both eastbound and westbound traffic.

4.7 IntoTunnelADJUST: Speed1–25

This preset simulates the sound of a source approaching you from the side, passing you and then entering a tunnel. ADJUST controls the speed of the source. To reverse the direction of the effect, set the Width parameter to –45 — you’ll find it in the Soft Row.
