Effects - Waldorf MicroWave XT Bedienungsanleitung

Effects

The Microwave II and Microwave XT have the ability to change the timbre of a sound by
way of effects processing. In the table below the types of effects are shown together with
the availability for the two types of Microwave.
All the effect parameters are available on the Effect page which is located between the
Amplifier and Pan page. The first parameter on the Effect page is always the effect type
parameter. The other three parameters change according to the type of effect which has
been selected.
Please note that only Instruments 1...3 of a Multi program can use effects.
Some Words about Effects
It is very difficult to describe effects such as chorus and flanger. Therefore, the description
of the exact timbre changes induced by the effects has been omitted. As it would serve no
purpose to clutter the manual with subjective obscurity. Just have a play with the effects!
The Mix Parameter
Most of the effects have a mix parameter. This parameter determines the volume ratio
between the original signal and the effect output. To further stress the fact that this is a ratio,
the mix parameter is display as two numbers. The first number is the original or dry signal
amount. The second number is the effect's output amount, or wet signal amount. The two
numbers are separated by a colon (see chorus display example).
