SINGLE / DOUBLE / QUATRO chooser
SINGLE mode mixes the normal guitar with the shaper into a mono signal before feeding it into a stereo fx/amp setup. (The Shaper blend knob is placed before the amp here)
DOUBLE mode has 1 amp for normal guitar and 1 amp for the shaper. the 2 voices of the Shaper share 1 amp here. The SPREAD knob places the amps in the stereo image.The shaper blend knob works on the amp outputs here.
QUATRO both normal guitar and shaper have a stereo amp. The 2 shaper voices have a separate and normal gutiar has 2 amps. Note that teh MOD fx can make the mono guitar pseudo stereo before it enters the amps. Again, SPREAD place the amps in the stereo image.

AMP > MOD > DELAY - here you select the chain order of the effects. The shaper is allways in front. IN SINGE mode, a mixture of guitar and shaper goes through a single instance. DUO has 1 channel for guitar, 1 channel for shaper. QUATRO uses 2 channels stereo for guitar, and 2 channel stereo for the shaper signal.


PSEUDO - determines how much pseudo stereo you want to use.
DEPTH - sets the comb filter uses for the pseudo effect.
The pseudo effect's main function to provide stereo sound for the normal guitarsound: it has a better fallback to mono then more complicated stereo fx, as long as you use it mildly.

SPREAD places the 2 outputchannels in the stereo image, before the signal is entered into the reverb

LATENCY chooser for the Shaper
A normal setting for guitar is 20%. If you dont play lower chords, you might like to set it to 10% for faster playfeel. For bass guitar, you might set it to 35%, it will then sound clean on the low E.
If you use voice for input or a flute or any other higher pitched monophonioc input signal, the 5% settting might work, if you need to have that extra low latency.
This knob does *not* alter the CPU usage in any way, in contrast to the buffersize setting in the audio config!

TUNING - this is the tuning that is used by the CHROMATIC knob in the shaper and the Tuner. It is saved along with the patch, like all other options.

HOST SYNC - only in pluginversion hilited means it will use the host's BPM settings and will also generate the LFO in sync with it.
BPM - when host sync istn hjilted or in standalone, this will provide the master BPM for the LFO. The DELAY effect can use this BPM setting too, with its own subdivisions.

** the LFO is selectable as source in the 3 REMOTE sliders **

x 1.5 - multiplies the tempo of the LFO, to get dotted tempos
LFO - chooses the subdisivion for the LFO signal,
SHAPE - choose the form of the LFO signal
PHASE - shifts the waveform agianst the quarternotes provided by the host.
