Autotune/phase vocoder effect. Used without any arguments, it tries to detect the pitch and shift it to the nearest exact note. This can help with out of tune singing, but it’s also an interesting effect in it’s own right. When used with the target_pitch: arg, it tries to shift the input to match that pitch instead. This gives that classic “robot singing” sound that people associate with vocoders. This can then be changed using the control method to create new melodies.

| amp: |
The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)
Default: 1
|
| mix: |
The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.
Default: 1
|
| pre_mix: |
The amount (percentage) of the original signal that is fed into the internal FX system as a value between 0 and 1. With a pre_mix: of 0 the FX is completely bypassed unlike a mix: of 0 where the internal FX is still being fed the original signal but the output of the FX is ignored. The difference between the two is subtle but important and is evident when the FX has a residual component such as echo or reverb. When switching mix: from 0 to 1, the residual component of the FX’s output from previous audio is present in the output signal. With pre_mix: there is no residual component of the previous audio in the output signal.
Default: 1
|
| pre_amp: |
Amplification applied to the input signal immediately before it is passed to the FX.
Default: 1
|
| note: |
Midi note to shift pitch to. The quality of the sound depends on how stable the pitch of the input is.
Default: 0
|
| formant_ratio: |
This effect separates pitched content of an input from the formant sounds (percussive, non-pitched sounds like “ssss” and “ttttt”). Changing the formant ratio shifts the non-pitched sounds - lower pitched formants (0.5) sound like someone with a deep voice, higher values (e.g. 2.0 and above) sound like a high pitched voice.
Default: 1.0

Creates lo-fi output by decimating and deconstructing the incoming audio by lowering both the sample rate and bit depth. The default sample rate for CD audio is 44100, so use values less than that for that crunchy chip-tune sound full of artefacts and bitty distortion. Similarly, the default bit depth for CD audio is 16, so use values less than that for lo-fi sound.

| sample_rate: |
The sample rate the audio will be resampled at. This represents the number of times per second the audio is sampled. The higher the sample rate, the closer to the original the sound will be, the lower the more low-fi it will sound. The highest sample rate is 44100 (full quality) and the lowest is ~100 (extremely low quality). Try values in between such as 1000, 3000, 8000…
Default: 10000

Combines low pass and high pass filters to only allow a ‘band’ of frequencies through. If the band is very narrow (a low res value like 0.0001) then the BPF will reduce the original sound, almost down to a single frequency (controlled by the centre opt).
With higher values for res we can simulate other filters e.g. telephone lines, by cutting off low and high frequencies.
Use FX :band_eq with a negative db for the opposite effect - to attenuate a given band of frequencies.

Here’s a list of various Q factors and an approximate corresponding frequency width: 0.7 -> 2 octaves 1 -> 1 1/3 octaves 1.4 -> 1 octave 2.8 -> 1/2 octave 4.3 -> 1/3 octave 8.6 -> 1/6 octave A decent range of Q factors for naturally sounding boosts/cuts is 0.6 to 1.
Default: 0.6
|
| high_shelf: |
Gain - boost or cut the centre frequency. The high shelf defines the characteristics of the highest part of the eq FX. A value of 0 will neither boost or cut the high_shelf frequencies. A value of 1 will boost by 15 dB and a value of -1 will cut/attenuate by -15 dB.
Default: 0
|
| high_shelf_note: |
Centre frequency of high shelf in MIDI notes.
Default: 114.2326448
|
| high_shelf_slope: |
High shelf boost/cut slope. When set to 1 (the default), the shelf slope is as steep as it can be and remain monotonically increasing or decreasing gain with frequency.
Default: 1

Any parameter that is slidable has three additional options named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:
| _slide: |
Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value. Default: 0 |
| _slide_shape: |
Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use *_slide_curve: opt e.g. amp_slide_curve:), 6: squared, 7: cubed. Default: 5 |

Amplitude modifier. All FX have their own amp built in, so it may be the case that you don’t specifically need an isolated amp FX. However, it is useful to be able to control the overall amplitude of a number of running synths. All sounds created in the FX block will have their amplitudes multipled by the amp level of this FX. For example, use an amp of 0 to silence all internal synths.

Any parameter that is slidable has three additional options named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:
| _slide: |
Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value. Default: 0 |
| _slide_shape: |
Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use *_slide_curve: opt e.g. amp_slide_curve:), 6: squared, 7: cubed. Default: 5 |
| _slide_curve: |
Shape of the slide curve (only honoured if slide shape is 5). 0 means linear and positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down respectively. Default: 0 |

A high pass filter chained to a normaliser. Ensures that the signal is both filtered by a standard high pass filter and then normalised to ensure the amplitude of the final output is constant. A high pass filter will reduce the amplitude of the resulting signal (as some of the sound has been filtered out) the normaliser can compensate for this loss (although will also have the side effect of flattening all dynamics). See doc for hpf.
Introduced in v2.0
| amp: |
The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)
Default: 1
|
| mix: |
The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.
Default: 1
|
| pre_mix: |
The amount (percentage) of the original signal that is fed into the internal FX system as a value between 0 and 1. With a pre_mix: of 0 the FX is completely bypassed unlike a mix: of 0 where the internal FX is still being fed the original signal but the output of the FX is ignored. The difference between the two is subtle but important and is evident when the FX has a residual component such as echo or reverb. When switching mix: from 0 to 1, the residual component of the FX’s output from previous audio is present in the output signal. With pre_mix: there is no residual component of the previous audio in the output signal.

Dampens the parts of the signal that are lower than the cutoff point (typically the bass of the sound) and keeps the higher parts (typically the crunchy fizzy harmonic overtones). The resonant part of the resonant high pass filter emphasises/resonates the frequencies around the cutoff point. The amount of emphasis is controlled by the res opt with a higher res resulting in greater resonance. High amounts of resonance (rq ~1) can create a whistling sound around the cutoff frequency.
Choose a lower cutoff to keep more of the bass/mid and a higher cutoff to make the sound more light and crispy.

The way the transpositions are done adds some distortion/fuzz, particularly to the lower octaves, whilst the upper octave has a ‘cheap’ quality. This effect is often used in guitar effects pedals but it can work with other sounds too.

Any parameter that is slidable has three additional options named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:
| _slide: |
Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value. Default: 0 |
| _slide_shape: |
Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use *_slide_curve: opt e.g. amp_slide_curve:), 6: squared, 7: cubed. Default: 5 |
| _slide_curve: |
Shape of the slide curve (only honoured if slide shape is 5). 0 means linear and positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down respectively. Default: 0 |

Echo FX with each delayed echo swapping between left and right channels. Has variable phase duration (time between echoes) and feedback (proportion of sound fed into each echo). If you wish to have a phase duration longer than 1s, you need to specify the longest phase duration you’d like with the arg max_phase. Be warned, :ping_pong FX with very long phases can consume a lot of memory and take longer to initialise. Also, large values for feedback will cause the echo to last for a very long time.
Note: sliding the phase: opt with phase_slide: will also cause each echo during the slide to change in pitch, in much the same way that a sample’s pitch changes when altering its rate.
Introduced in v3.2
| amp: |
The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)
Default: 1
|
| mix: |
The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.
Default: 1
|
| pre_mix: |
The amount (percentage) of the original signal that is fed into the internal FX system as a value between 0 and 1. With a pre_mix: of 0 the FX is completely bypassed unlike a mix: of 0 where the internal FX is still being fed the original signal but the output of the FX is ignored. The difference between the two is subtle but important and is evident when the FX has a residual component such as echo or reverb. When switching mix: from 0 to 1, the residual component of the FX’s output from previous audio is present in the output signal. With pre_mix: there is no residual component of the previous audio in the output signal.

|
| pan_start: |
Starting position of sound in the stereo field. With headphones on, this means how much of the sound starts in the left ear, and how much starts in the right ear. With a value of -1, the sound starts completely in the left ear, a value of 0 starts the sound equally in both ears, and a value of 1 starts the sound completely in the right ear. Values in between -1 and 1 move the sound accordingly. Each echo will swap between left and right at the same distance away from 0 (the centre) that this

| pre_amp: |
Amplification applied to the input signal immediately before it is passed to the FX.
Default: 1
|
| window_size: |
Pitch shift works by chopping the input into tiny slices, then playing these slices at a higher or lower rate. If we make the slices small enough and overlap them, it sounds like the original sound with the pitch changed. The window_size is the length of the slices and is measured in seconds. It needs to be around 0.2 (200ms) or greater for pitched sounds like guitar or bass, and needs to be around 0.02 (20ms) or lower for percussive sounds like drum loops. You can experiment with this to get the best sound for your input.
Default: 0.2
|
| pitch: |
Pitch adjustment in semitones. 1 is up a semitone, 12 is up an octave, -12 is down an octave etc. Maximum upper limit of 24 (up 2 octaves). Lower limit of -72 (down 6 octaves). Decimal numbers can be used for fine tuning.
Default: 0
|
| pitch_dis: |
Pitch dispersion - how much random variation in pitch to add. Using a low value like 0.001 can help to “soften up” the metallic sounds, especially on drum loops. To be really technical, pitch_dispersion is the maximum random deviation of the pitch from the pitch ratio (which is set by the pitch param)
Default: 0.0
|
| time_dis: |
Time dispersion - how much random delay before playing each grain (measured in seconds). Again, low values here like 0.001 can help to soften up metallic sounds introduced by the effect. Large values are also fun as they can make soundscapes and textures from the input, although you will most likely lose the rhythm of the original. NB - This won’t have an effect if it’s larger than window_size.

Dampens the parts of the signal that are lower than the cutoff point (typically the bass of the sound) and keeps the higher parts (typically the crunchy fizzy harmonic overtones).

The amount of emphasis is controlled by the res opt with a higher res resulting in greater resonance. High amounts of resonance (rq ~1) can create a whistling sound around the cutoff frequency.

| amp: |
The amplitude of the resulting effect.
Default: 1
|
| mix: |
The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.

Forces all audio through a hyperbolic tangent function which has the effect of acting like distorted limiter. It works by folding loud signals back in on itself. The louder the input signal, the more folding occurs - resulting in increased strange harmonics and distortion. This folding also has the effect of limiting the outgoing signal, therefore to increase the output amplitude use the amp: opt and to increase the folding/distortion use the pre_amp: opt.
