Effects#

6-slot serial FX chain processing the final mixed output. Each slot: 1 of 17 effect types or empty.

All 17 Effect Types#

1. Chorus — A modulated time-delay effect that thickens and widens the sound by layering detuned copies. Parameters: Rate (0.1-10 Hz), Depth (0-5), Mix, Programs
2. Delay — Echoes the input with adjustable feedback, digital or tape mode, and tape warmth. Parameters: Time (0.01-2.0s), Feedback (0-99%), Mix, Mode (Digital/Tape), Warmth
3. Reverb — Simulates acoustic spaces from small rooms to large halls with adjustable character and pre-delay. Parameters: Mix, Space (0-100%), Pre (0-100ms), Dist, Char, Programs
4. Phaser — Sweeps phase-cancellation notches through the frequency spectrum for a swirling, whooshing motion. Parameters: Rate (0.1-10 Hz), Depth, Feedback (-90% to +90%), Mix
5. Vibrato — Modulates pitch cyclically using LFO waveforms with an adjustable onset delay. Parameters: Wave (Tri/Saw/InvSaw/Sq), Rate (1-200), Depth (0-50), Delay (0-5000ms)
6. Phase Mod — Phase modulation synthesis inside the FX chain for complex spectral movement. Parameters: Amount (0-50%), Ratio (0.5-8.0), Pre (On/Off)
7. Compressor — Smooths dynamic range with full control over threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain. Parameters: Threshold (-60 to 0 dB), Ratio (1:1 to 20:1), Attack (0.1-200ms), Release (10-2000ms), Makeup (0-24dB), Mix
8. 8-Band EQ — Eight bands (64–8000 Hz) for precise tone shaping with ±12 dB per band. Band 1 is a low-pass filter, bands 2-7 are peaking, and band 8 is a high-pass filter. Parameters: 64, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k bands; -12 to +12 dB each
9. Grain Delay — Granular delay that chops the audio into grains for glitchy, textured, and atmospheric echoes. Parameters: Time (0.01-1.0s), Feedback, Scatter, Density, Mix
10. Bitcrusher — Reduces bit depth and sample rate for digital lo-fi crunch and aliasing artefacts. Parameters: Bits (1-16), Rate (1-32x), Mix
11. Shimmer Verb — Reverb with a pitch-shifted feedback path that produces ethereal, shimmering tails. Parameters: Shimmer (0-100%), Space (0-100%), Mix
12. Distortion — Overdrive, distortion, and fuzz types for everything from warm saturation to aggressive clipping. Parameters: Type (OD/Dist/Fuzz), Drive, Tone, Mix
13. Juno Chorus — Emulates the classic Roland Juno chorus circuit. Modes I, II, and I+II offer different stereo width and movement. Parameters: Mode (I/II/I+II), Mix
14. Ring Mod — Amplitude modulation between the signal and an internal oscillator for metallic, bell-like, and inharmonic tones. Parameters: Freq (20-4000 Hz), Mix

Reusable Effect Presets#

Open an effect’s editor to choose a built-in preset or save the current module settings as a named user preset. User presets are available for other slots using the same effect type; you can also delete your own module presets.

An effect preset changes that module’s settings. Save a full synth preset when you want to preserve the complete sound and FX chain.

In Simple, expand Effects and open the slot’s editor. The same effect controls are available in Advanced.
