Both channels will be shifted up a major third. Make sure the SHIFT footswitch is on (left LED is orange). To hear the effect, start with the SHIFT control set to maximum (5:00). The ALT-SHIFT control adjusts the detuning ratio between the left and right channels.

We will start with 8:30, since the detuning will also add a small amount of delay.ĭetune mode smoothly shifts from a 4th down to a major third up, with emphasis on small pitch ratios. Slowly reduce the DELAY time until the dry and delayed signals start to blend, between 8:00 and 10:00. Setting ALT-DELAY above noon will cause the right channel to have a slightly shorter delay.

As you adjust the delay time, they will remain offset by the same amount. The left and right delays are offset by a few milliseconds (this is the Haas effect). Now, hold the ALT switch and move the DELAY knob to about 1:00, so that the delay seems to pull to the right a bit. We'll start with delay and then detuning, in both cases starting with an exaggerated setting to dial in the left/right tilt, then reduce the amount until it is barely perceptible. Since we configured the Raster for kill dry bypass above, setting the Raster to bypass will turn off the delay and reverb (with trails). Shift mode (top left toggle) is set to detune (center), for small pitch changes.ĭelay range (top right toggle) is set to the shortest range (left).īoth stomp switches are set to L (latching), to turn the effects on or off. The feedback structure (top center toggle) does not matter as long as it is forward (center or right position). Modulation RATE and DEPTH are both at their minimum (7:00).įeedback ( FDBK) is off (7:00). The BLEND control is set to 5:00, which works for kill dry or a different bypass mode. Primary (left) and ALT (right) settings for doubling Use the Context web editor to configure the Context for +8 dBu input level, Stereo In / Stereo Out, and DSP bypass mode. Kill Dry will completely mute the input signal, even in bypass, which will avoid phase and volume issues when the effect return is mixed with the direct sound. Use the Raster web editor to configure the Raster for +8 dBu input level, Mono In / Stereo Out, and Kill Dry bypass mode. Note that running the effects in series means that the input to the Context will be the effect output from the Raster, Using a mixer channel allows you to EQ the overall effect return. Finally, use a TRS to dual TS (insert) cable to connect the Context's output to the mixer's stereo effects return or a stereo channel. Use a TRS to TRS (stereo) cable between the Raster and Context. For "mangling," sampling, or synth effects, you can use a pre-fader send so that a consistent signal level is sent to the effect, then adjust the levels and pans of the original signal and effect return.Ĭonnect a TS to TS (mono) cable from the mixer's AUX send output to the Raster's input.

For "ambient" effects like reverb and delay, you can use a post-fader send so that the effect level follows the fader. Using an AUX send allows you to send multiple instruments to the effects, varying the level of each independent of its fader level. From there, you can adjust based on the input signal or desired effect.įor live sound and recording, you typically want to run an AUX (or FX) send from your mixer to the pedal chain, then return the signal on a stereo input channel (some mixers have dedicated stereo returns).
