Ping Pong This effect is the same as stereo delay, with the exception that the left feedback is directed to the right delay input, and the right feedback is directed to the left delay input. In this way, the delayed signal (echo) bounces back and forth between the left and right channels. Chorus The chorus effect generates a mono or stereo simulated chorus of voices. It has the following controls: Depth: This adjusts the depth of the chorus modulation for all the voices. It is calibrated in milliseconds (ms), with a range from 0 ms to 10.0 ms. Delay: This adjusts the amount of time between the original signal and all the generated chorus voices. It is calibrated in milliseconds (ms), with a range from 0 ms to 100 ms. Thicken: This defines the number of delay taps used to generate the chorus effect, and how they are distributed across the left and right channels. There are four settings: 0 = one mono voice 1 = one stereo voice 2 = two stereo voices 3 = three stereo voices Speed: This controls the rate of the chorus modulation, and applies to all voices. It is calibrated in Hertz (Hz), with a range from 0.05 Hz to 5.00 Hz. Waveform: This defines the waveform that is used for modulating the voices. There are three settings, including sine, triangle, and random. The random setting applies random sine/triangle waveforms to each voice independently. The Digital 8•Bus also comes with a library of effects settings (patches) stored on the hard drive that can be readily selected. Click in the preset title box at the bottom of the Mackie Effects window to select from the list of Factory Presets in the dropdown box. You can also create and save your own effects (click the MENU button and select "Save User Preset As..."). Check our website for additional plug-in effects as they become available.
