Fruity plugins |
The Fruity Peak Controller is an internal controller plugin which provides the following controllers:
Peak Ctrl - LFO
- This is an LFO controller.
Peak Ctrl - Peak - The value of this controller is based on the volume
peaks of the input audio signal that the plugin receives.
Peak Ctrl - Peak+LFO - This controller is the sum of the LFO and Peak
controllers.
To use this plugin, place an instance of it in the effects track where is the signal you want to use as a "peak source". If you want the input signal the plugin receives to be affected by some of the plugins in the same track, but the Fruity Peak Controller after them.
NOTE: See Automation/Internal Controller Plugins in the reference manual for more information on how to use internal controllers.
PEAK section:
Sets the options for the peak controller.
Base wheel (BASE)
- Sets the base value (offset) of the peak controller.
Volume wheel (VOL) - This wheel sets how the volume peaks affect the
peak controller. The value you can set ranges from -200% (maximum to left) to
200% (maximum to right). When using positive values for this setting, higher
volume means higher value for the peak controller. Negative values result in
the opposite effect.
Tension (TNS)
- Drag up and down to alter the shape of the curve used to map the volume peaks
to peak controller values. You can think for this parameter as peak's "tension".
Decay wheel (DEC) - Turn to right for faster decay of the peak. Turn
to left for slower decay.
LFO section:
Sets the options for the LFO controller.
LFO Shape - On the
top of that section you can see a set of radio buttons that allow you to set
the shape of the LFO. The available choices are sine, triangle, square, saw
and noise (random values).
Volume wheel (VOL) - This wheel sets the amplitude of the LFO. The value
you can set ranges from -100% (maximum to left) to 100% (maximum to right).
When using positive values for this setting, LFO's value is summed with the
base value. For negative values, LFO's value is subtracted from the base value.
Tension (TNS) - Drag up and down to alter the shape of the curve used
to map the LFO values to LFO controller values. You can think for this parameter
as LFO's "tension".
Speed wheel (SPD) - Sets LFO's speed. Turn to left to speed up the LFO.
Turn to right to slow down.
Phase wheel (PHS) - This wheel sets the phase offset for the LFO. You
can use it to adjust the start position of the LFO.
Additional options:
Ramp switch - Prevents
abruptly changes in controllers' values. Turn this option on if the parameters
you link may cause clicks and pops when changed too fast.
Mute switch - When turned off, the signal passes through the Fruity Peak
Controller plugin. When turned on, the output of the plugin is muted. Turn this
option on when the input signal is used only to generate peaks for the Fruity
Peak Controller and you don't want to hear it in the final composition.
Monitor scales:
In the top right corner of the editor window you can see three scales. The input monitor (marked with "I") shows the value of the volume peaks detected in the input signal. The peak output monitor (marked with "P") shows the value of the resulting peak controller. The LFO output monitor (marked with "L") shows the value of the LFO controller.
