Modules: Miscellaneous
Armonizer
Section titled “Armonizer”A familiar pitch harmonizer like that found on the Eventide Clockworks devices, this module adds a pitch-shifted copy of an incoming signal to the original. Use the Interval knob to select how many semitones to shift the signal. The Blend amount knob controls the blending of original and shifted signals.
Slew Limiter
Section titled “Slew Limiter”Limits the speed of the change of magnitudes. It’s kind of like the familiar slew limiter in the time domain (used to create portamento), but here it’s in the frequency domain of course! As with any slew limiter, you can select the direction of the slew using the combo box, and the Slew rate itself.
Note: if the signal is silent at the beginning and then abruptly rises, it might take some time for the slew to produce a sound — if the slew rate is short, the signal will climb slowly from silence to the target frequency.
Shifter
Section titled “Shifter”This module shifts frequency bins along the frequency axis to produce unusual clangorous and metallic effects. You can control the Target (whether you want to shift only magnitudes, only phases, or both), the amount of shift with the Offset knob (in %bw, percentage of the bandwidth), and use the Tail combo box to determine what shall be done with the tail data.
An example from the factory floor: if your input is, say, “ABCDEFGHIJKLMN” and is shifted by
three places, then Leave will produce ABCABCDEFGHI, Clear will produce 000ABCDEFGHI
and Circular will produce JKLABCDEFGHI.
Note: in some cases Shifter will produce silent output due to sinusoids cancelling out at some shift ranges. This happens only when both magnitudes and phases are shifted, and depends very much on the engine settings (Overlap and Window type).
Swappah
Section titled “Swappah”Swaps the three frequency bands determined by the band borders. Swap order is determined by the Swap order combo box selection. For example, “High Low Mid” copies the high to low, mid to high, and low to mid.
Quantizer
Section titled “Quantizer”This quantizes the spectrum. The range is cut into bands of a given width, and all frequencies in any region will have the same amplitude, determined by the first frequency component in that band. The Origami knob allows frequency components to differ from the first one, but to linearly ascend towards the end of the band.
