Eect Description Application examples
PARALLEL EFFECTS
Cathedral Very dense and long reverberation of a large cathedral. Solo instruments/vocals in slow pieces.
Plate Simulates the sound of early plate reverberators. A classic for drums (snare) and vocals.
Concert Simulates a small theater or large concert hall. Creates an “atmosphere” (e.g. radioplay voices).
Stage Very dense reverb, especially for live applications. Dissipates the sound of keyboard pads, for example.
Room You can clearly hear the walls of the room. Reverb eect that isn’t directly noticeable.
Studio Adds spaciousness to the sound; signals sound natural, not “at”. Gives a sound source more “class” in the mix.
Small Hall Simulates a small, lively (strongly reecting) hall. Perfect for processing drums.
Ambience Reproduces a middle-sized room without late reections. Extremely versatile eect.
Early Reections Very dense reverb with pronounced early reections. Drums, percussion, slap bass
Spring Reverb Simulates a classic spring reverberation. Extremely versatile eect.
Gated Reverb Reverb that is synthetically cut o Produces a very “crisp” snare sound.
Reverse Reverb Reverb with reversed envelope, i.e. it slowly gets louder. Produces a very spaced out vocal sound.
Chorus Slight detuning of the original signal. Extremely versatile eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Flanger A slightly delayed signal is added to the original signal, producing phase shifting of the signals. Extremely versatile eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Phaser Another phase-shift eect. Extremely versatile eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Rotary Speaker Simulation of a classic eect for electronic organ. Organ/keyboards.
Delay Delay of the input signal with several repetitions. Extremely versatile eect.
Chorus & Reverb Combination of chorus and reverb. A classic eect for vocals.
Flanger & Reverb Flanger combined with a reverb eect. All-purpose eect.
Phaser & Reverb Phaser combined with a reverb eect. All-purpose eect.
Rotary Speaker & Reverb Rotary Speaker eect combined with reverb. Organ/keyboards/electric guitar.
Delay & Reverb Delay combined with reverb. The most common combination for vocals, solo guitar, etc.
Delay & Chorus Widens the signals and produces interesting repetition eects. Makes vocals stand out in the mix. Good intelligibility is preserved.
Delay & Flanger Similar to Delay & Chorus, but with audible up/downward modulation. Ideal for creating a slightly spaced out sound.
INSERT EFFECTS
Compressor Soft or loud passages are raised or lowered in level respectively. Single signals, especially from microphones.
Expander
No dynamics limitation (see Compressor), but quite the opposite: interference
(noise, hum, etc.) is reduced in level.
Single signals, especially from microphones.
Gate A gate opens for a specic period of time to make a specic signal pass, and then closes abruptly. “Controls” feedback-prone microphones/eliminates interference.
Ultramizer Extremely ecient compression through automatic adaptation of compression parameters. Gives mix signals a constant output level.
Ultrabass Combines sub-harmonics processor, bass exciter and limiter.
Gives keyboard sounds some special “class”/sound eect for
electric basses.
Panner The signal “wanders” between the sides of the stereo basis. Special eect, e.g. for radioplay soundtracking.
Exciter Adds synthetic harmonics to the signal, resulting in increased presence and “loudness”. Both mix and single signals. Improves intelligibility of vocal signals.
Auto Filter Level-dependent boost of a specic frequency band, similar to auto-wah eect for electric guitars. DJ-ing/sound eects for live events/electric guitar or bass.
Tube Distortion Simulates the tube distortion of classic guitar ampliers. Electric guitar/vocals/keyboards.
Guitar Amp Guitar amp simulation. Electric guitar or bass.
Vinylizer Adds the clicks and noise of old vinyl records. DJ-ing/sound eects for live events.
Test Tone 1-kHz test tone. Makes P.A. level setting easier.
