Modulation parameters

TonePrint Editor 2.0 16

Modulation parameters

Use the parameters in the Modulation part of

the TonePrint Editor window to configure the

modulation effect.

Modulation Type selector

Use the Modulation Type selector to select be-

tween the following types of modulation effects:

Classic Chorus setting

This is the standard chorus inspired by the le-

gendary TC Stereo Chorus Flanger.

The basic idea of a chorus effect is to split the

signal and pitch-modulate one of the signals

slightly, and then mix the two signals again.

Advanced Chorus setting

The Advanced Chorus setting is a variation of the

Chorus setting where the parameters defining

the chorus effect are tuned slightly differently.

Classic Flanger setting

The flanger belongs to the same “family” of mod-

ulation effects as the chorus effect. The signal is

split, and one of the signals is pitch modulated.

The characteristic “flanging” sound occurs when

part of the signal is slightly delayed and fed back

to the input of the effect algorithm. Experiment

with the Feedback parameter to get a feeling for

the achievable effects.

Advanced Flanger setting

The Advanced Flanger setting is a variation of

the Flanger setting where the parameters defin-

ing the flanger effect are tuned slightly differ-

ently.

Vibrato setting

A vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the in-

coming signal. The result is similar to the vibrato

technique used by vocalists.

As opposed to a chorus effect, no direct signal

is combined with the vibrato effect’s pitch-mod-

ulated signal.

TriChorus setting

The TriChorus is a variation of the regular cho-

rus that uses three stereo chorus modules with

various offsets for the Depth, Speed, Phase

and Chorus Delay time parameters. The result

is a unique, very broad and lush sound. Speed,

Depth and Time parameters are identical to

those in the standard Chorus.

TriChorus Alternative setting

The TriChorus Alternative setting is a variation

of the TriChorus setting where the parameters

defining the modulation parameters of the three

chorus modules are tuned to produce a wilder

and “less controlled” Chorus effect.

TZFlanger (“Through zero”) setting

The TZF Mode Flanger emulates the original way

of creating a flange effect where two identical

pieces of audio material were played back simul-

taneously on two tape decks and then mixed on

a third deck. The “flanging” effect was achieved

by slowing down and speeding up the two decks

at different times. An essential part of this setup

is the unique phase cancellation occurring when

the two signals pass each other in time (the “zero

point”).

When you set the Modulation Type parameter to

TZFlanger, the input signal is split up so that de-

lay line 1 becomes the “dry” part of the signal.

This is why you should set the Kill dry parameter

to On when setting the Modulation Type param-

eter to TZFlanger.

Modulation Active parameter

Settings: On/Off

Use the Modulation Active parameter to switch

the modulation effect on or off. This is especially

useful for activating the modulation engine when

working with delay and reverb TonePrints. How-

ever, you also need to set this parameter to On

for regular modulation effects.
