MIXING & EFFECTS

Fruity Peak Controller

Parameters

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.
