Main Controls

Input / MC1495 Section

  • Input Gain: Signal level before processing (-24 to +12 dB)
  • Saturation: MC1495 soft clipping amount (0-100%)
  • Carrier FT: Carrier signal bleed (0-10%)
  • Signal FT: Original signal bleed (0-10%)
  • Vintage Mode: Component tolerance variation
  • Squelch: Envelope-controlled wet/dry (louder = more wet)
  • Pickup Sim: Single Coil, Humbucker, or P90 loading

Carrier Oscillator

  • Pitch: Carrier frequency (0.1 Hz - 10 kHz)
  • Waveform: Sine (pure) or Triangle (harmonics)
  • Tempo Sync: Lock to host tempo (1/1 to 1/16, triplets)
  • Stereo Mode: Dual Mono, True Stereo (90 deg offset), Mid/Side
  • Pitch Pedal: Expression control for real-time pitch changes

Output / Mix

  • Mix: Dry/wet blend (0-100%)
  • Output: Final level (-12 to +12 dB)
  • Quality: Oversampling (Off to Insane/32x)
  • Vintage Variation: Component variation amount
  • Osc Drift: Analog frequency instability

Quality Modes

Six Oversampling Levels

ModeRateBest For
Off1xLow CPU, live performance
Eco2xTracking, high track counts
Standard4xGeneral mixing (default)
High8xCritical mixing
Ultra16xMastering
Insane32xMaximum quality

Tip: Start with Standard for mixing, use Eco for tracking to save CPU.

Quick Tips

  • Low frequencies (0.1-20 Hz): Create tremolo-like amplitude effects
  • Voice range (20-500 Hz): Classic ring mod, robotic voices, Dalek effect
  • Mid frequencies (500-3000 Hz): Metallic, bell-like tones
  • True Stereo mode: Adds spatial width with 90 deg carrier phase offset
  • Squelch: Great for dynamics - plays quietly for subtle effect, loud for full ring mod
  • Vintage Variation: Each instance can sound like a different vintage unit
  • Pickup Simulation: Use for direct guitar input - matches real pickup loading
  • A/B Compare: Press 'A' key to switch between two settings instantly
  • Undo/Redo: Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z for full parameter history (50 steps)
