Eect 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 eect 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 reecting) hall. Perfect for processing drums.
Ambience Reproduces a middle-sized room without late reections. Extremely versatile eect.
Early Reections Very dense reverb with pronounced early reections. Drums, percussion, slap bass
Spring Reverb Simulates a classic spring reverberation. Extremely versatile eect.
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 eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Flanger A slightly delayed signal is added to the original signal, producing phase shifting of the signals. Extremely versatile eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Phaser Another phase-shift eect. Extremely versatile eect (guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards etc.).
Rotary Speaker Simulation of a classic eect for electronic organ. Organ/keyboards.
Delay Delay of the input signal with several repetitions. Extremely versatile eect.
Chorus & Reverb Combination of chorus and reverb. A classic eect for vocals.
Flanger & Reverb Flanger combined with a reverb eect. All-purpose eect.
Phaser & Reverb Phaser combined with a reverb eect. All-purpose eect.
Rotary Speaker & Reverb Rotary Speaker eect 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 eects. 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 specic period of time to make a specic signal pass, and then closes abruptly. “Controls” feedback-prone microphones/eliminates interference.
Ultramizer Extremely ecient 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 eect for
electric basses.
Panner The signal “wanders” between the sides of the stereo basis. Special eect, 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 specic frequency band, similar to auto-wah eect for electric guitars. DJ-ing/sound eects for live events/electric guitar or bass.
Tube Distortion Simulates the tube distortion of classic guitar ampliers. 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 eects for live events.
Test Tone 1-kHz test tone. Makes P.A. level setting easier.
