![]() ![]() Utility-wise, you’ll also find two additional rotary controls on the interface. ![]() It feels like a sort of dry/wet control for the effects, but it also effects the dynamics and feel of the effects applied. The amount of the overall, combined processing is controlled by the Character slider. The slider labeled Wildness acts like a randomizer, adding processing variations in pitch and filtering when turned towards the right end. It seems to also simulate a “throat length” effect, with which you’re able to turn a female voice into a male (and the other way around).įury seems to add a certain type of noise overlay to your recording, making it sound more or less aggressive and angry. While Size can be seen as a coarse pitch shifter ranging from the voice of a child to that of a giant, the Age parameter acts in a bit more delicate fashion. The sliders Size and Age control the pitch of the audio material and work in relationship to each other. Although it would be interesting, to know what goes on exactly, leaving the complicated part of the processing behind the curtain leads to a greater ease of use.įortunately, Simple Monsters’ reference manual provides some clues on the actual effect of sliders. Another vital fact to understand is that every FX slider not only controls one single effect, but rather a complicated array of processing parameters and filters. This means that changing a certain parameter on one control, affects the other ones in return, resulting in a wealth of different tones.
