[. . . ] The Hit knob adjusts the location on the resonator at which the object is struck or otherwise activated. The processed signal is fed through a lowpass and highpass lter that can be controlled with an X-Y controller. To set the position of the frequency band, click and drag on the horizontal axis. At 0%, both resonators are fed equally to each side, resulting in mono output. Bleed mixes a portion of the unprocessed signal with the resonated signal. This is useful for restoring high frequencies, which can often be damped when the tuning or quality are set to low values. This parameter is unavailable with the Pipe or Tube resonators. CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE 298 Gain boosts or attenuates the level of the processed signal, while the Dry/Wet control adjusts the balance between the dry input signal and the signal sent to Corpus's processing. Turning Dry/Wet down will not cut resonances that are currently sounding, but rather stop new input signals from being processed. Corpus contains a built-in limiter that automatically activates when the audio level is too high. This is indicated by the LED in the upper-right corner of Corpus's display. 21. 9 Dynamic Tube The Dynamic Tube Effect. The Dynamic Tube effect infuses sounds with the peculiarities of tube saturation. An integrated envelope follower generates dynamic tonal variations related to the level of the input signal. Three tube models, A, B and C, provide a range of distortion characteristics known from real ampli er tubes. Tube A does not produce distortions if Bias is set low, but will kick in whenever the input signal exceeds a certain threshold, creating bright harmonics. Tube C is a very poor tube amp that produces distortions all the time. The Tone control sets the spectral distribution of the distortions, directing them into the higher registers, or through the midrange and deeper. The Drive control determines how much signal reaches the tube; greater Drive yields a dirtier output. The intensity of the tube is controlled by the Bias dial, which pushes the CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE 299 signal into the celebrated realms of nonlinear distortion. With very high amounts of Bias, the signal will really start to break apart. The Bias parameter can be positively or negatively modulated by an envelope follower, which is controlled with the Envelope knob. The more deeply the envelope is applied, the more the Bias point will be in uenced by the level of the input signal.
