Novation k-station Guida Utente

When controlling the Chorus Sync Rate from a sequencer, it is impor-
tant to ensure that the sequencer is transmitting MIDI Clock messages.
Consult your sequencer manual for details.

Note : When the Sync Rate is set to OFF, the timing of the Chorus
sync will be controlled by the setting of the Rate. Any incoming MIDI
clock messages or Arpeggiator TEMPO settings will be ignored by the
Chorus effect.

The Chorus has it own LFO which is continuously changing the delay
time. Mod Depth sets how much of the fixed delay time is being modu-
lated. Large amounts of modulation will produce a more noticeable
effect. Moderate amounts are recommended.

Note : The dedicated Chorus LFO should not be confused with the two
LFOs available on the K-Station’s front panel.

The Stereo Chorus can actually be thought of as two continuously vari-
able delays. The delay variations are being controlled by the Chorus
dedicated LFO. The LFO is constantly moving the two delay amounts
from minimum to maximum. When one delay is at max, the other is at
min (hence the stereo effect).  

The Mod Centre function moves the middle point between the Min and
Max values. Experiment with this control for the desired effect.

This function controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back to
the input of the Chorus generator. The Chorus effect benefits from low
levels of feedback. When acting as a Phaser (see the Chorus Type
setting on Page 29), the effect often requires higher levels of feedback. 

As well as being able to synchronize to MIDI clock (tempo), the dedi-
cated Chorus LFO  may have its initial position set after a specific 
MIDI event is received (see the Global Sync Mode function on Page
35). 
The initial positions available are shown in the table above. For exam-

ple, if the Chorus initial position sync is set to RGT , after an appropri-
ate MIDI event, the Chorus effect will move from the right to the left.

This sets how much movement of the K-Station’s Modulation wheel will
introduce the Chorus effect.

Distortion is an effect commonly used by Guitar players. However, it is
now increasingly used in the production of modern Dance music. The
Distortion effect gives the sound a hard edged, distorted and dirty kind
of quality.  Use the PAGE up/down buttons to scroll through the Menu
functions available - See table below. 

If distortion is added to a sound, it will tend to get louder. In order to
contain or compress the sound back to a level which is consistent with
other programs, use this function which compensates for the perceived
added loudness of a sound when Distortion is added.

This function determines how much movement of the K-Station’s
Modulation wheel will introduce the Distortion effect.
