[. . . ] USER'S MANUAL May be covered by one or more of the following: U. S. Patents #4538297, 4647876, 4696044, 4745309, 4881047, 4893099, 5124657, 5263091, 5268527, 5319713, 5333201, 5402498, 5493617 and 5638452. Foreign patents pending. Your Intellifex® Online has been tested and complies with the following Standards and Directives as set forth by the European Union: Council Directive(s): Standard(s): 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility EN55013, EN50082-1 This means that this product has been designed to meet stringent guidelines on how much RF energy it can emit, and that it should be immune from other sources of interference when properly used. Improper use of this equipment could result in increased RF emissions, which may or may not interfere with other electronic products. [. . . ] It is also possible to mute both the input and output (Both) so that no signal enters or exits the Delay section when it is not switched in. Level 1/2 These are individual level controls for each of the two delays available in the Delay section. These are not the same as the Delay Level parameter found in the Mixer function (which adjusts the overall level of both delay signals). Mute Type 14 Pan 1/2 This allows for the panning of each delay to the left or right output, if desired. The Pan parameter is adjustable from 0 to 100--where 0 is full left, 100 is full right and 50 is center. These parameters determine the amount of time after a signal is input that the delayed signal will begin to reproduce the input signal. This parameter is provided for each delay and determines the number of times the delayed signal will repeat itself. The Delay Type parameter determines whether the Stereo, Ping-Pong or 2Tap delay type is currently active. Dly Time 1/2 Regen 1/2 D Type Dl Hf Damp Delay High Frequency Damping determines the amount of high frequency content in the delayed and regenerated signals. Higher amounts of damping will result in less high frequency information in the delayed signal. 15 D. DUCKER SECTION The process of ducking enables the user to suppress the level of a given signal or effect dynamically, dependent upon the presence of another signal which is desired to be prominent. The ducking feature of the Intellifex Online works in conjunction with the Delay and Reverb sections to attenuate the delay and/or reverb level while a phrase is being played (resulting in a less cluttered, more intelligible sound), yet return each to its original level when the phrase ends--thus allowing for the full decay of the delayed and/or reverberated signal. DUCKER PARAMETERS Ducker In the HUSH; Delay; Ducker configuration, this parameter determines whether the Ducker is off or on. In the HUSH; Chorus; Delay; Reverb and HUSH; Pitch Shift; Delay; Reverb configurations, this parameter determines whether the Ducker is either (A) off, (B) operating on the delay, (C) operating on the reverb, or (D) operating on both the delay and reverb. Sensitivity This parameter determines the threshold point above which the ducker will begin attenuating the delay and/or reverb signal. Until the input signal reaches this level, the delay/reverb signal will not be affected. This parameter determines how much the delayed signal is attenuated (muted). It may be set for only a slight change in signal level or it can completely attenuate the delay/reverb signal so that no delayed or reverberated signal passes while ducking is active. This parameter is adjustable from . 2 seconds to 9 full seconds, and determines the length of time it takes for the muted delay signal to return to its original signal level after the input signal falls below the threshold point set by the Sensitivity parameter. Attenuation Release Rate 16 E. PITCH CHANGE SECTION Pitch Change effects involve splitting the input signal into at least two separate signals, then modifying the pitch of one signal and mixing it back together with the unaltered direct signal. The Intellifex Online offers two types of pitch change effects: Chorus and Pitch Shift. CHORUS The Chorus effect is achieved by using one or more delayed signals, detuning these delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch) then modulating this detune effect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using many delayed signals at different delay lengths - as well as using different detune amounts, modulation rates and modulation depths for each delayed signal--results in a rich, spacious stereo chorused signal. CHORUS PARAMETERS Level (Individual Voices) This parameter adjusts the volume of the delayed signal relative to the other voice(s) of the effect and is included in the parameter list for each voice (or each delay signal) of both the 8-Voice and 4-Voice Chorus effects. (This level control is not the same as the Chorus Level found in the Mixer function parameter list. ) Pan The Pan parameter allows you to pan each voice (or delay) of the chorused signal to the left or right channel. This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 100--where 0 is full left, 100 is full right and 50 is center. The Delay parameter determines the delay time (in milliseconds) for each tap of the chorus signal.
