BACKGROUND
The Aural Activator adds carefully generated high
frequency harmonics to the output signal. This effect
can be very useful in "punching up" either complete
mixes or individual tracks. It is also is useful in
restoring improved sound to material with high
frequency loss, such as cassette tape copies.
The fastest way to get a useful sound is to select
the preset that seems best suited for your material,
and then adjust it as needed. Try to be conservative
with your settings, since the nature of this effect
makes it is easy to lay it on too heavy.
KNOBS
The knobs function as follows:
--Drive: Controls the level of the signal "driving" the
harmonic generation module. Best settings for this knob
will typically be between 25 and 50 %. If the processed
track has an unusually low level, higher settings may be
appropriate.
--Tune: Controls the highpass cutoff frequency of the signal
that is sent to the harmonic generation module, with
signals above this frequency being used to generate
harmonic content. Best settings for this knob will
typically be between 2300 and 4800 kHz when processing
overall mixes.
--Harmonic Balance: Controls the relative balance between
even and odd harmonics which are added to the signal.
For most applications, primarily odd harmonics are most
effective. Settings with heavy even harmonics are most
effective when adding extra thickness to solo instruments.
--Mix Level: Controls the balance between the original
"dry" (unprocessed) input signal and the "wet" (processed)
signal. For the enhancer effect, typically settings will be
between 0.25 and 0.50 .
--Output Level: Controls the overall level of the output
signal. For this effect, try keeping this level at 1.0
unless excessive clipping occurs on the output meters.
If excess clipping occurs, the output level should be
reduced slightly. If a setting of less than 0.85
is required to avoid clipping, try reducing the wet/dry
mix and drive settings instead, since a low setting of
the output level control will mean that low frequency
content of the signal will be reduced.
GRAPHIC DISPLAY
The graphic display shows the approximate amound and type
of harmonic content that is being added to the signal.
--The green vertical bar indicates the current setting for
the tune knob, and shows the cutoff frequency for signals
used to generate harmonics.
--The approximate level and location of even generated
harmonics are shown with blue vertical bars, and the
odd generated harmonics are shown with red vertical bars.
Note that as the drive, tune and even/odd knobs are
adjusted, the location and size of the harmonic bars
will be updated.
BUTTONS
The buttons at the lower left of the window function
as follows:
--Presets: Lets you load any installed or saved
preset.
--Save: Lets you save the current effects settings
as a preset, either as a new preset or as a
modified version of the current preset.
--Clear: Lets you start working on a new preset from
scratch by returning all the effects parameters to
their defaults.
--Settings: Lets you change several DSP/FX
operating options, including sampling frequency,
MIDI input channel, MIDI device, mono or stereo
input, and input/output device selection.
--Bypass: Sends the input signal directly to the
output, bypassing the effects processor.
--Compare: Restores the original settings of the
current preset, allowing you to compare the
original preset to the edited version you're
working on. To return to the edited preset, click
Compare again.
--Plug-Ins: When in standalone mode, lets you select
a new plug-in (effects algorithm).
--Mute Out: Sets the DSP/FX output to zero level.
--Process: When in standalone mode, provides access
to Wave file and Live Input processing features.
--Quick: Lets you load one of 5 existing presets
instantly from a list of Quick Pick presets. You
can also assign presets to the Quick Pick list.
--Help: This Help window
--Exit: Closes DSP/FX
MIDI MODE SETTINGS
The MIDI Mode settings control response to the
DSP/FX Controller as follows:
--Direct: The value of the effects parameter you're
editing corresponds to the current position of the
knob or slider on the Controller.
--Increment: The current setting for the parameter
you're editing is the starting point for
changes of the knob or slider on the Controller.
Moving the control changes the parameter by an amount
corresponding to the relative movement of the control.
--Catch: DSP/FX ignores changes sent by the
Controller until the knob or slider is at or beyond
the point corresponding to the parameter's current
setting. After that, the parameter value always
reflects the actual position of the control, as
in Direct mode.
--Off: All MIDI changes are ignored.
