Space-Boy
offers you a new approach to space locating of audio signals.
The basic idea behind Space Boy is the conjunction
of a panner and a mono-reverb that enable
you to locate signals in a 2D space. The panner is responsible for the location
in the stereo field (Left-Right axis) while the mono-reverb determines the depth
factor (Close - Far axis). With the X-Y controller you can easily locate the audio
material in a 2D space. But that is only the beginning...
With the sophisticated high quality reverb unit
you can choose the exact space you place your signal in. There are many reverb
presets that you can choose from but you can easily create your own space
character since the reverb unit is fully programmable.
Two LFO units can move your audio material in the
2D space that you have chosen. Each LFO can be synced to a host clock, and has 4
waveforms to choose from: Sinus, Triangle, Pulse, and Sample&Hold. Each LFO can be
assigned to modulate the panning, the reverb amount and the other LFO frequency.
The LFO wave phase can be changed and there is a smooth option (The
smooth option is very usefull when you choose Sample&Hold LFO type).
There are options to create links between the
panner and the mono-reverb, and a distorted space can be created
this way. You can determine the space mode when you choose between the 3 mode
options: In the regular mode the space is a regular 2D space. In
the reverb off-center emphasis mode the space is distorted- audio signals at the center will sound closer then those at the sides of
the stereo field. In the reverb center emphasis mode
another distorted space is created- audio signals at the sides of the stereo
field will sound closer and signals at the center will sound far away. The
amount of space distortion is also controllable. Any movement that you assign
later is being created according to the space mode that you have chosen.
The drive knob will add saturation warmth to the
output signal, and two VU meters will help you set the optimal output volume.
