Seksyon Efè

These controls allow you to further shape the character of the generated octave effects.

• DRY FX Button (with LED): This button determines how your dry signal interacts with the Attack, LP Filter, and Detune effects.
  • Dirije Off: Dry signal bypasses all effects.
  • Wouj ki ap dirije: Dry signal goes through the Attack effect but bypasses the LP Filter and Detune.
  • Green ki ap dirije: Dry signal goes through the Attack and LP Filter effects but bypasses the Detune.
  • Amber ki ap dirije: Dry signal goes through all three effects: Attack, LP Filter, and Detune.
• ATAK: Controls the fade-in speed of the octave voices. Higher settings result in a slower, more gradual swell.
• LP FILTER: A low-pass filter that cuts off high frequencies from the octave voices. Moving the slider up opens the filter, allowing more high frequencies through.
• Q Button (with LED): This button adds resonance to the LP Filter. Pressing it cycles through different Q settings, boosting the frequencies around the filter's cutoff point.
• DETUNE: Adds a subtle detuning effect to the octave voices, creating a chorus-like or thickening sound.
