Figure 41 ©American Audio® - - Radius 3000™ Instruction Manual Page 30 Built-in effects The Radius 3000™ comes with eight built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you may choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch, Filter, Echo, Trans, Skid, Phase, Flanger, and Pan. You can choose to use the effects with their default parameters or you may choose to customize each effect by changing the parameters. The parameter values for all the effects will range. Some effects will have more adjustable parameters than others. The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PT (Parameter Time). All parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off! BEAT SELECT BUTTONS (23): These buttons access the preset banks for the parameters. All effects synchronized to the beat. Each effect has a set of six built-in presets and one user programmable preset. These presets are accessed by the BEAT SELECT ButtonS (23). To toggle between the banks tap on the arrow buttons. The chart on the side defines the presets. BEAT SELECTION BANKS 1 - Refreshes on the 1/4 Beat 2 - Refreshes on the 1/2 Beat 3 - Refreshes on 3/4 Beat 4 - Refreshes on 1/1 Beat (every full beat) Figure 42 5 - Refreshes on 2/1 Beat (every two beats) 6 - Refreshes on 4/1 Beat (every four beats) SCRATCH & SKID EFFECT: The Scratch Effect simulates real time turntable scratching. Once the Scratch Effect has been activated the jog wheel (9) may be used in the same fashion a turntable platter is used. Use the jog wheel (9) to simulate the scratch motion on a turntable platter and to manipulate playback. Both the Skid and Scratch time parameters can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest Skid times. The Skid value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds. Figure 43 ©American Audio® - - Radius 3000™ Instruction Manual Page 31 Built-in effects FILTER EFFECT: The Filter effect tweaks the original sound to add different tonal definition. The Filter Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the Time Range and The PR will adjust the Frequency Range (see "Parameters" in the next section). Figure 44 PHASE EFFECT: The Phase effect tweaks the original sound to add different tonal definition. The Phase Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the Time Range and The PR will adjust the Frequency Range (see "Parameters" in the next section). Figure 45 FLANGER EFFECT: The Flanger effect distorts the output signal and creates an effect similar to frequencies phasing in and out of each other. The FLANGER Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the Time Range and The PR will adjust the Frequency Range (see "Parameters" in the next section). Figure 46 ECHO EFFECT: The Echo effect adds an echo to your output signal. The Echo effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the Time Range and The PR will adjust the Frequency Range (see "Parameters" in the next section). Figure 47 ©American Audio® - - Radius 3000™ Instruction Manual Page 32 Built-in effects TRANS EFFECT: The Trans effect simulates a real-time mixer transformer effect. The Trans effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter Time and Parameter Ratio. The PT will adjust the Trans Speed and The PR will adjust the Trans Audio Length. Figure 48 PAN EFFECT: The Pan effect allows you to pan the output from the left channel to the right channel. The PT will adjust the amount of time the pan effect is in each channel (left and right). The PR will adjust the the time it takes to switch from the left channel to the right channel. Figure 49 Parameters: All the effects have adjustable parameters. The parameters change the way the effects will react. To adjust the parameter values for any of the effects, turn either of the two parameter Knobs (25 or 31). When the parameter value is adjusted the VFD display will indicate the parameter adjustment. All effects have two adjustable parameters. Parameter Time (31) and parameter Ratio (25). Use these knobs to customize the effects to your liking. For quick adjustment press and turn either of the knobs. You can also adjust the parameters using the jog wheel. Make sure the JOG WHEEL (9) is in NORMAL mode, and then press and hold the knob of the paremeter you wish to adjust and turn the jog wheel to make your adjustment. Figure 50 HOLD BUTTON: Use the HOLD BUTTON (26) to lock your parameters. If the hold button is not activated any changes to your parameters will be momentary. To activate the hold function press the HOLD BUTTON (26) as in figure 51. When the hold function becomes activated, the hold button will begin to glow blue.
