RO-BOT
What it is
RO-BOT is a partially amplitude controlled delay/flanger kind of thing.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| Pregain | Preamp gain. |
| Threshold | The threshold. If the signal is louder than this, the delay length begins moving towards the maximum delay. If it's lower, it begins moving towards the minimum. |
| Level L/R | You can choose to use the auxbus for level input. |
| Min Delay | Minimum delay. |
| Max Delay | Maximum delay. Note that this can actually be smaller than the minimum. |
| Feedback | Feedback. If you use feedbacks above 0 dB, or not far enough below with resonant filters, turn up feedback saturation slightly. |
| Feedback sign | Feedback positive or negative? Only time will tell. |
| Feedback sat | Feedback saturation. Causes the delay line to saturate instead of blowing up if positive feedbacks or high filter resonance settings are used. |
| Filter |
Filter mode:
- Off
- Lowpass
- Highpass
- Bandpass
- Bandreject (notch).
|
| Cutoff | Filter cutoff frequency. |
| Resonance | Filter resonance. |
| C Inertia | Filter cutoff inertia. |
| Attack | How long it takes the delay time to reach the maximum delay if the signal level stays above the threshold. |
| Decay | How long it takes the delay time to reach the minimum delay after the signal level drops below the threshold. |
| LFO Shape |
Delay time LFO wave shape:
- Sine
- Triangle
- Square
- Upsaw
- Downsaw
- Random (set at the beginning of each period, with no influence from the L/R phasing)
- Equal random (set at the beginning of each period, influenced by L/R phasing)
- Sample and hold (takes the signal level at the beginning of each period and sets the delay length accordingly).
|
| LFO Speed | LFO frequency or period in ticks. |
| LFO Depth | Depth of the LFO in samples. |
| LFO Phase | Left/right phase difference of the LFO. |
| LFO Manual Phase | Sets the LFO to this phase. Useful for synchronizing the LFO with the track. |
| Manual | Additional manual delay. |
| M Inertia | Manual delay inertia. |
| M Inertia Mode | Manual delay inertia mode. |
| A, B | What to mix with what for the output. D means dry, W means wet. |
| Mix | Mixing between A and B. |
| Postgain | Postamp gain. |
Notes & Warnings
- Be careful with feedbacks near or above 0 dB and filter resonances above 1 if you don't have feedback saturation on.
- You can use RO-BOT as a vibrato by leaving feedback off, setting minimum and maximum delay to the same value and adjusting the LFO.
- If the machine blows up on you, you can fix it by right clicking on it and choosing Reset.
