PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [271/307] Studio one reference manual

Effects

Presence XT offers seven built-in effects processors to add dimension to your sounds. They are arranged in two banks:

FX A (Modulation, Delay, and Reverb) and FX B (Gater, EQ, Distortion, and Pan). You can enable or disable each effect

by clicking its name. You can show or hide the Mod/FX section of the plug-in window by clicking the [Mod/FX] button.

Modulation

This processor creates time-based modulation effects. Choose from the following modes by clicking the [Chorus],

[Flanger], or [Phaser] button:

Chorus This processor creates effects similar to that of multiple identical instruments playing the same part sim-

ultaneously. The synth signal is fed through a short, modulated delay, which is then mixed with the dry signal.

Chorus offers the following controls:

Mono Engage this option to sum the wet (effected) signal to mono.

Delay This control lets you set the length of the modulated delay. Higher settings create full-bodied chor-

using effects, while lower settings create more pronounced harmonics, akin to the effects of a Flanger.

Speed This control lets you set the speed at which the delay line is modulated. Lower settings create

slow, sweeping effects, while higher settings create faster, more aggressive modulation.

Width This control lets you set the degree to which the delay line is modulated. Lower settings produce

subtler chorusing effects, while higher settings produce more pronounced changes in timbre over time.

Depth This control lets you blend between the dry signal (all the way left) and the chorused signal (all the

way right).

Flanger This processor creates resonant, hollow-sounding sweeping effects. The synth signal is fed through a

short, modulated delay, which is mixed with the dry signal. While similar to the workings of a Chorus effect,

Flangers get their signature sound by employing smaller delay times than those used in chorusing, combined with

a feedback system that can add extra resonance to the sweep. Flanger offers the following controls:

Mono Engage this option to sum the wet (effected) signal to mono.

Delay This control lets you set the length of the modulated delay (in ms), which changes the pitch of the

resultant resonance. Higher settings create lower-pitched resonance, while lower settings create res-

onances at a higher pitch.

Speed This control lets you set the speed at which the delay line is modulated. Lower settings create

slow, sweeping effects, while higher settings create faster, more aggressive modulation.

Width This control lets you set the degree to which the delay line is modulated. Lower settings produce

subtler flanging effects, while higher settings produce more pronounced changes in timbre over time.

Feedback (FB) This control lets you set the amount of output signal to feed back into the Flanger.

Higher amounts of Feedback add to the resonance of the sweeping effect.

Sync Engage this option to enable setting Flanger modulation speed to a rhythmic value (such as 1/8th-

note or 1/4-note) relative to Song tempo. Disengage to set Rate on a continuous scale.

Depth This control lets you blend between the dry signal (all the way left) and the flanged signal (all the

way right).

Phaser This processor creates dreamy, otherworldly sweeping effects. The synth signal is fed through a series of

all-pass filters that alter its phase. When mixed with the dry signal, this creates a series of peaks and valleys in the
