Synchronic Gain Effect

Gain is used to add Volume, Distortion, or Saturation to the sound (A/B Sounds) coming from the Playback module. Similar to the Playback section, the Range controls set Beginning and End values. Range settings can also be modulated by an LFO to create dynamic gain effects.

BED and END Range (–96 to 24 dB)

Use the BEG and END parameters to set the amount of Gain effect. The specified Range settings control the amount of modulation by LFO1 and LFO2.

LFO1 and LFO2

Set the Waveshape and Duration for dynamic Gain effects. For static gain effects, set both LFO1 and LFO2 to Off.

LFO Waveshapes and Durations options are the same as those provided in the Playback module. See Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO).

Gain Mode

The Gain effect provides three different modes: Volume, Distortion, and Saturation.

 

Selecting Gain Mode

Volume

Applies linear gain with a range of –96 to +24 dB.

Distortion

Applies a non-linear distortion curve to clip the signal. Distortion is most pronounced from 0 to +24 dB.

Saturation

Applies a warmer, fuzzier distortion than regular Distortion. Unlike Volume and Distortion, when Saturation is selected, lower BEG and END values do not result in attenuating the signal. A lower setting (–96 dB) results in a cleaner, less saturated signal, and a higher setting (+24 dB) results in a more saturated signal.
