Post by springwater »

does anyone know what the c. canceler is doing. the manual one thing but im hearing another, sound like stereo separation till you twist the knobs around then its a whole other effects in itself.

in its normal state its doing exactly what it says, cancelling out the center so only the panned material remains

then it has a filter included to boost highs or lows

and the left or right ctrl 1 knob pretty much just shifts everything slightly on each side

i use it as a second filter after i use the isolater, like pulling a high hat out of a kick or getting bass etc. very handy

Which is pretty unlikely.
But the center canceler is definitely useful to extract tricky samples from a track.

pretty sure its just cutting out the middle frequencies. i don't think it has anything to do with panning. center is referring to the mids, so just the bass and treble will remain
