TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 User Manual

Overview
μMod is short for micro-modulation (“μ” is the scientific
symbol for micro). The μMod effect is capable of
creating many different sounds that range from subtle
but lush thickening to creatively destructive. It uses a
combination of stereo pitch shifting (Detune), small
amounts of stereo delay (Delay), and then a complex
path of filtering, feedback, and modulation. μMod does
a faithful job of emulating classic detune, chorus, flange
and thickening sounds.
STYLE
Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter to choose
a pre-programmed μMod style you like.
LEVEL
Sets the mix level for the μMod effect.
WIDTH
Normally, the output of the μMod effect is panned hard
left and right. This parameter sets the stereo imaging of
the μMod effect to mono (0%) and stereo (100%).
DETUNE LEFT / DETUNE RIGHT
Applies a small amount of pitch shift to the left or right
sides independently. This setting is shown in cents and
the maximum is +/- 25 cents.
SPEED
This setting sets how fast the delay time modulation
occurs. In order for this to be audible, the depth amount
parameter has to be nonzero. The setting range is 10.00
Hz (very fast) to .05 Hz (very slow).
DEPTH-L / DEPTH-R
These set the amount of modulation of the delay time
for the left and right delays. If one delay is set to 10mS,
for example, a setting of 50% will vary the delay time
between 15mS and 5mS at the rate set by the SPEED
parameter.
OUT PHASE
The OUT PHASE setting puts the output of the left and
right sides of the μMod effect out of phase to create
more 3D sound space around the effect. Note that this
may potentially limit the effect’s ability to collapse to
