CULTRA
In its essence, Cultra is two tap/delay signals, the first gets fed into two parallel phasers with opposing notches both route to a frequency shifter which combines back to the second "dry" tap...
... which gives you modulation that plays with itself in fantastic ways.
Add some feedback (maybe some distortion on that feedback?), route in lfo to breathe in some filter motion...
But maybe that's still not enough and you want to morph your sound into
an other-worldly entity...
So, I present you the humble chain multiplier:
For those seeking some truly alien and morphological audio experiences, simply engage more copies of Cultra in series! Right click to engage an above-unity soft-clipper — be wary dear traveller!
x2 delivers thick phasers, stand-out flange and a frequency shifter set to laser-zap.
x4 is truly resonant and alien territory. Feedback becomes a weapon.
Proceed with caution —this is your warning that feedback is a fickle beast - things can get out of hand quickly. This can multiply with more instances. With this in mind, there is a small feedback reduction applied to the multipliers automatically.
I recommend always engaging the inter-clipper by right clicking the chain multiplier. There is also a global hard clipper option found in the very center of the Frequency Shifter/Delay section.
But if that is too much notching, any stage can be turned off to allow for any combination of flanger, phaser, or frequency shift - easily culled with a right-click.
For the class: I've prepared a flow chart. It will be on the test.
Dry and wet delay lines — the flanger core. Harmonically spaced notches that weave through every downstream stage.
Dry and wet delay lines — the flanger core. Harmonically spaced notches that weave through every downstream stage.
Control spread, notch count, center (key/midi sync) and formula, with 360 degree encode to blend between notch distributions log, exponential and a unique flam.
Give the phaser more depth. Both of these are controllable via PHSR A/B in the mod matrix.
SSB frequency shifter with stereo sync and feedback. From subtle shimmer to full laser-zap resonance.
Orchestrate all para-meters with precision.
Per-row LFO control for complex, evolving motion.
MIDI & scale-snap for the phaser's center. Set glide out and in rates of the filter
Make the filters sing (or scream) with a little distortion in the feedback chain.
Multiply your modulating capabilities.
