Effects Zones

Effect Zones are spatial, multi-effect processors that colour any Sampler or Emitter that enters their radius. Use them to morph timbres on-the-fly, build evolving ambiences and dynamic environments.

Creating an Effect Zone

Action

How

Drag-and-Drop

Grab the Effect Zone icon from the Browser and drop it onto the Stage.

Shift+Alt+F

Shortcut to create a FXZ at the mouse point.

Quantity

Create as many zones as you like—each is fully independent.

Zones appear as translucent spheres. Click-and-drag to reposition; a line is drawn to each device currently being processed.

How It Works

Event

Result

Zone effects fade in according to X-in time.
