Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Name

The name of the Effect instance.

Effect instances are a group of effect property settings. They can be one of two types: custom instances or ShareSets. Custom instances can be used by only one object, whereas ShareSets can be shared across several objects.

Effect

The type of effect.

Shared by (Used by)

A list of objects that currently subscribe to the selected ShareSet.

This field is called “Used by” when editing a custom instance of the Effect.

Opens a search field where standard alphanumeric entries filter out unmatching elements from the view. Learn more in Using Tables.

Click the Close icon to the left of the search icon to close the search field and remove the filter.

	Note
	The searches do not include elements in collapsed nodes of the List View, Query Editor, MIDI Keymap Editor, and Reference View.

Returns the Effect property settings to their default values.

This option is only available when editing a custom instance of the Effect.

Notes

Additional information about the Effect.

Effect Settings

LFO Section

Depth

Amount of amplitude modulation applied to the input signal, in percentage. At 0%, the input signal passes through unchanged. At 100%, the signal is modulated to its full range.

Default Value: 100
Range: 0 to 100
Units: %

Frequency

Frequency of the modulating signal.

Default Value: 1
Range: 0.02 to 20,000
Units: Hz

Waveform

Shape of the modulating signal.

Note: Although this parameter can be changed at run-time via RTPC, the signal is not guaranteed to be continuous.

Values: Sine, Square, Triangle, Upward sawtooth, Downward sawtooth.

Smoothing

Amount of smoothing applied to the modulating signal. It is low-pass filtered by a certain value, mapped from 0 to 100%. At 0%, the signal comes out intact. With higher values, edges and discontinuities are smoothed.

Note: This setting has no effect on the sine waveform.

Default Value: 0
Range: 0 to 100
Units: %

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)

Applies to the square waveform only. Modulates the width of the pulse during one cycle. At 50%, the signal is at its full amplitude for half of the cycle, and is 0 for the other half. Near 100%, the signal is at its full amplitude for almost all the cycle, while it drops to 0 for a very short amount of time.

Default Value: 50
Range: 0 to 50
Units: %

Initial Phase Section

Offset

Offsets phase of the modulating signal of all channels by a specific value.

Note: Although this parameter can be changed at run-time using RTPCs, it has no effect when it is set after the instance of this effect has started playing.

Default Value: 0
Range: -180 to 180
Units: Degrees

Spread Mode

Defines how initial phase spread (see parameter "Spread") is applied across channels. For example, with spread mode set to "Front-Rear", all front channels start playing with a phase equal to 0, and all rear channels start playing with a phase equal to "Spread". If present (and processed), the LFE channel is always synchronized with the Front Left channel.

Note: Although this parameter can be changed at run-time via RTPC, it has no effect when it is set after the instance of this effect has started playing.

Values:

Spread

Amount of divergence in initial phase spread across channels. The way in which this value affects each channel depends on the spread mode.

Note: Although this parameter can be changed at run-time using RTPCs, it has no effect when it is set after the instance of this effect has started playing.

Default Value: 0
Range: 0 to 180
Units: Degrees

Output section

Gain

Gain to apply to modulated signal.

Default Value: 0
Range: -24 to 24
Units: dB

Process Center

Indicates whether the center channel (if present) is modulated or passed through. The center channel is only present in 3.x and 5.x configurations.

Process LFE

Indicates whether the LFE channel (if present) is modulated or passed through. The LFE channel is only present in X.1 configurations.
