Lysergia Gapper

Written by Kevin Schuetz (Scrapdog). © 2003.
Version 1.1 beta

Note: This machine is not compatible with version 1.0 beta. As this machine is still in beta, do not release any songs that depend on it, as future versions of this machine may not be compatible.

This machine multiplies the input signal by a square wave whose shape and size are defined by its parameters (in effect, turning the signal on and off rapidly, or alternating between a low and high level). It will work with either stereo or mono input.

Parameters

Floor (-inf. dB - 0.0 dB) The volume when the cycle is in the low phase
Duty Cycle (0% - 100%) The portion of the cycle that is high
Period (20 ms - 2000 ms) The duration of one cycle
Attack (1 ms - 200 ms) The time it takes to rise from low to high
Release (1 ms - 200 ms) The time it takes to drop from high to low
Phase Shift (0% - 100%) The offset of the beginning of the high phase. This parameter is only useful if you want to use more than one gapper within your song.
Invert (off/on) When this parameter is on, the cycle is inverted (i.e., duty cycle represents the low phase)
Bypass (off/thru) When set to "thru", all input passes through unaffected
Left Bypass (off/thru) When set to "thru", all input in the left channel passes through unaffected
Right Bypass (off/thru) When set to "thru", all input in the right channel passes through unaffected
Reset (Trigger) Trigger this parameter to reset the cycle. Useful if you are using several instances of this machine and you want to sync them up
