Description of Obelisk 1.0.1

Audio plugin menu

OBELISK is a spectral multi effect whose sound possibilities and graphic user interface raise the area of spectral sound processing to a completely new level. OBELISK combines a SPECTRAL DELAY, a SPECTRAL FILTER and a SPECTRAL GATE to a multi effect that not only sounds excellent but also enables an extremely intuitive and musical operation, in spite of hundreds of effect parameters. With OBELISK you can draw your effect and with the aid of graphic lines control a multitude of effect parameters in a very simple and descriptive manner.

With its 2-dimensional LFOs, OBELISK creates completely innovative modulation possibilities by means of which the processed signal transforms into an endlessly changing sound layer. In spite of the comprehensive possibilities it provides for sound processing and modulation, OBELISK requires very little computing power, thanks to its high performing vector algorithms.

With OBELISK you control all the parameters via a unique graphic user-interface. The ANALYSER POINT VIEW constitutes the central unit for processing the SPECTRAL DELAY, SPECTRAL FILTER and SPECTRAL GATE. In this respect you control hundreds of effect parameters by means of drawing graphic lines, the so-called EFFECT LINES. In spite of the abundance of parameters that spectral sound processing provides, it is possible to operate extremely intuitively and almost musically.

Each EFFECT LINE consists of up to 10 EFFECT POINTS that determine the course of the line. The REAL-TIME ANALYSER SPECTRUM with which you can optically follow all the sound changes to the audio signal is situated underneath the EFFECT LINES.

In OBELISK every frequency band has its own noise gate with an individual threshold. As a result, OBELISK provides a total of 512 conventional noise gates. The thresholds of the individual frequency bands ensue as a result of the course of the GATE LINE.

If the level of a frequency band is above the GATE LINE, it will be allowed through but if the level is under the GATE LINE it will become mute. With the aid of the REAL-TIME ANALYSER SPECTRUM, the GATE LINE can be perfectly adapted to the audio signal.

Key features

SPECTRAL DELAY
• individual delay with feedback for every single frequency band
• 10 delay points to define the delay line
• 10 feedback points to define the feedback line
• different line styles : polygon / square
• delay points can be quantized to sync the delay times to the song tempo
• selectable sync tempo : external / internal
• beat grid for quantize positions
• RESCUE switch to clear the feedback buffer

SPECTRAL FILTER
• individual gain parameter for every single frequency band
• 10 filter points to define the filter line
• different line styles : polygon / square
• filter force parameter for smooth or hard filter action

SPECTRAL GATE
• individual noise gate for every single frequency band
• 10 gate points to define the gate line to adjust the gate thresholds
• different line styles : polygon / square
• global attack time and release time parameters
• mono / stereo switch to link the gate ( left / right ) in 2 channel mode

SPECTRAL SHIFT
• shift of frequency bands between analysis and synthesis ( +/- 64 bands )

2-DIMENSIONAL LFOs
• 3 LFOs to create 2-dimensional point movements
• independent x- and y-axis parameters
• snap function to lock the LFO start to a fixed song position
• LFOs can be synchronized to the song tempo ( from 1/16 note up to 8 bars )
• LEARN MODE for easy modulation target assignment
• 5 modulation targets per LFO

HELP FUNCTION
• information display for every parameter control

UNDO / REDO
• 50 step undo / redo for all point line parameter changes

PARAMETER AUTOMATION
• all parameters can be fully automated by the host sequencer
