VL Version 2

4. New Features & Parameters

●

Freq.

¯0.057 … 40.0 Hz.

Sets the speed of modulation and therefore the rate of celeste effect variation.

●

Depth

¯0 … 100%.

Sets the depth of modulation. Higher values produce deeper modulation and there-

fore a more pronounced celeste effect.

●

Delay

¯0.33 … 32.87 ms.

Sets the celeste delay time (the celeste effect is basically produced by modulating

the delay time of one signal in relation to another). The higher the value the more pro-

nounced the celeste effect.

●

FB Gain

¯-100 … 100 %.

Determines the amount of effect-sound feedback returned to the input of the celeste

stage. Higher negative or positve values produce a more pronounced effect.

●

Lo-Fi

¯off, 1 … 12.

This parameter can be used to give the celeste effect a more analog feel. Higher

values produce a smoother effect in the high-frequency range.

●

Wet/Dry Balance

¯0 … 100 %.

Sets the balance between the direct (“dry”) and effect (“wet”) sound. Higher values

produce a greater proportion of effect sound in relation to direct sound.
