FL Manual 16 Delay Bank/Love Philter/Formula Cont Flashcards

Question

``` FL STUDIO - Fruity Delay Bank - FEEDBACK Delay Timing (TIME) ```

Answer 1

-Determines the spacing between echoes.

Answer 2

- Lets you set a time offset for the left or right audio channel, to create a richer stereo panorama of the delay effect. - -To delay the left channel, move the slider down. - --To delay the right channel, move the slider up. - ---To remove the time offset between channels, center the slider (Right-click the knob and select the Reset command).

Answer 3

-Affects the L and R spacing

Answer 4

-Turns feedback off.

Answer 5

-Swaps the left and right channels in the feedback (so if the input is panned to right, the feedback will be panned to left).

Answer 6

-Keeps the stereo data consistent with the input signal.

Answer 7

-Works like Inverted, but switches the left and right channels repeatedly for each echo generated, creating a "ping pong" effect.

Answer 8

-Pan position for the feedback echoes.

Answer 9

- Volume of the feedback echoes. - -Turn fully clockwise for infinite delays.

Answer 10

-Contains a set of filtering options for the feedback signal.

Answer 11

- The first section of this display can be used to change between one of 8 filter states (OFF - No filter, LP - Low Pass, BP - Band Pass, NOT - Notch, HP - High Pass, LS - Low Shelf, PK - Peaking, HS - High Shelf). - -The Filter Mode Switches, 1 to 3 determine the slope of the cutoff filter, 1 = 12 dB/Octave, 2 = 24 dB/Octave and 3 = 36 dB/Octave.

Answer 12

-Adjusts the filter output volume, 10% to 200%.

Answer 13

- Sets the filter cutoff frequency amount for the feedback. - -This progressively filters each successive repeat to 'smooth out' echoes as they fade out, creating more natural effect.

Answer 14

-Boosts a narrow band of frequencies close to the cutoff value, creating a ringing effect.

Answer 15

- Granualizing - is the process of chopping audio into small chunks (grains). - -The grain effect is here applied to the echoes of the delay.

Answer 16

- Slices the delay sound into small pieces (grains) using an envelope function. - -The grains are aligned to the size of the echo for a smooth sound.

Answer 17

- Adjusts the shape of the chopping envelope and therefore defines the nature of the grain sound. - -Tweak it until it sounds good.

Answer 18

Bank output - Each bank can pass its output to the next bank in the chain, or to the main output.

Answer 19

- Changes the level sent to the next bank in the chain. - -This is not available for last (eighth) bank. - --Minus values (turn left) are inverted phase.

Answer 20

-Changes the panning of the output from the bank.

Answer 21

- Final bank output level to the plugins main output. - -Minus values (turn left) are inverted phase.

Answer 22

- Fruity Fast Dist Fruity Fast Dist is a CPU-friendly distortion effect. - -Try using this plugin on bass and kick drum sounds for a gritty and punchier effect.

Answer 23

- Adjust the level of the signal before it is distorted. - -The middle position means 100% volume. - --You might need to increase the volume sometimes with this control to drive the signal into the distortion range.

Answer 24

- Selects the frequency band to be distorted. - -The more you turn this knob to right, the wider the band is.

Answer 25

- Allows you to mix the dry sound (unprocessed) with the distorted sound. - -Turn the knob to the right to hear only the distorted sound.

Answer 26

- If the distorted sound is too loud, reduce the volume AFTER applying the distortion here. - -Rotated maximum to the right gives 100% the level.

Answer 27

-Fruity Fast LP is a lowpass filter with very low processor usage, optimized for automation. -This is the same filter algorithm used in the Instrument Channel Settings' Fast LP' filter. Parameters -Cutoff - Sets the "cutoff" frequency used in the filter (the higher the value, the wider the band passed through the filter). --Resonance - Sets the filter's resonance: this is an amplified frequency band near the cutoff level used to create special effects.

Answer 28

- Fruity Filter is a variable state filter plugin, optimized for automation. - -For advanced filtering effects try Fruity Love Philter

Answer 29

-Sets the cutoff frequency for the lowpass/bandpass/highpass filters.

Answer 30

Boosts a frequency band near the cutoff level, to create a sound 'sharpening' special effect.

Answer 31

Amount of lowpass filter mixed in the output. --Leaves only low frequencies in the output.

Answer 32

- Amount of bandpass filter mixed in the output. - -Leaves a certain frequency band in the output and filters all other frequencies.

Answer 33

-Amount of highpass filter mixed in the output. Leaves only high frequencies in the output.

Answer 34

Oversampling. Can improve the quality of the output (reduces noise by avoiding aliasing and reduces phase distortion).

Answer 35

- Remove DC offset. - -That is, a positive or negative bias in the output from the plugin. - -This can happen when the Cutoff Frequency is modulated quickly.

Answer 36

- Flanging is a form of phase cancellation created by combining multiple, variously delayed copies of the input sound. - -Related plugin: Fruity Flangus.

Answer 37

- Sets the minimum delay between the flanger voices. - -The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay+depth. - --Range: 0 to 20 milliseconds. - ---For 'deep' flanger effect, set this parameter to low values.

Answer 38

- Controls the flanger delay modulation. - -The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay+depth. - --If this value is zero, the flanger will remain 'static' as the delay modulation will stay constant. - ---Setting the 'Depth' to higher values will create heavier modulation.

Answer 39

- The rate at which the flanger is modulated. - -Range: 0 to 5 Hz.

Answer 40

- Use this control to widen the stereo image. - -Range: 0 to 360 degrees. - --If set to 0, the LFO on the left and right channels will be in perfect synchronization. - ---At 180 degrees the left and right channel will be 100% out of phase. - ----This means that the left channel will reach its maximum when the right channel is at minimum. - -----Try setting 10 degrees for subtle stereo enhancement.

Answer 41

- Use this parameter to attenuate the high frequencies of the processed output. - -Range: 0 (no filtering) to 1 (full filtering - no output).

Answer 42

- Determines the shape of the LFO. - -Range: smooth transition between sine to triangle LFO. - --A sine LFO will produce smoother transitions, while a triangle LFO will result in more constant pitch-shifting. - ---While subtle, this parameter can help you get just the right sound.

Answer 43

- Sets the feedback amount. - -Range: 0 to 100 %. - --Set to high values to make the flanger 'whistle'. - ---Try high settings with heavy filtering (for example 99% feedback + the filter at 0.95) for special effects.

Answer 44

- These two switches invert the processed (wet) and feedback signal. - -Range: on and off. - --Mixing a signal with an inverted version of itself creates the known flanger effect. - --When both are off the sound is more like a chorus than a flanger. - ----While Invert Wet will directly change the flanger/chorus sound, the Invert Feedback has a less dramatic effect, but can be used to change the sound timbre.

Answer 45

- These three knobs determine the output mixture. - -Range: -inf (silent) to 0dB. - --Dry is the original signal, wet is the effected signal and cross is a left-right inverted version of the wet signal.

Answer 46

- Fruity Flangus allows you to enrich the stereo panorama of your mix, add complex flange effects and simulate unison mode synthesis via a set of controllable 'stacked' flangers. - -Related plugin: If you wish to explore other flanging effects, a different plugin, Fruity Flanger, is also available.

Answer 47

- Sets the number of "stacked" flangers to be used for the effect. - -Using more flangers makes the effect smoother and richer.

Answer 48

-Controls the "flange depth" (amplitude of pitch oscillation for each of the stacked flangers).

Answer 49

-Controls the flange speed (speed of pitch oscillation).

Answer 50

- Variable amounts of delay can be applied to each of the stacked flangers. - -Use this parameter to define the overall amount of delay applied.

Answer 51

- Each flanger is assigned a different speed, depth, etc. in a range defined by the basic properties provided in the Flangus interface. - -Increase the SPRD value to "smooth" the spreading of the stacked flangers across the parameter ranges.

Answer 52

- This parameter applies a stereo cross mix between the left and right channel audio output of Flangus. - -Increase the parameter value to mix more of the left channel sound in the right one and vice versa. - --The parameter has range of -100 to 100. Negative values mix inverted sound in the opposite channel.

Answer 53

- Determines the dry (unprocessed) audio in the output. - -Range: -100 to 100. - --Negative values mix inverted sound into the output.

Answer 54

- Determines the processed ('flanged') audio in the output. - -Range: -100 to 100. - -Negative values mix inverted sound into the output.
