0:00 Effects which are along

Alright folks, another video for you on this guy here. It's from a company called American Audio. It is a tabletop CD player. It's known as the Radius 1000 MIDI. In this video I'm going to show you the effects which are along here. A basic idea of what they can do. By the way, look in the description to the side of the video for the name of the track. Let's play the music. First of all we'll have a look at this guy here. This is the filter. At the moment now the filter is... Being used on a quarter of a beat. We've got two buttons here with arrows on them. This one here has an arrow facing to the right, this one here has an arrow facing to the left. If we press the one facing to the right we can go from a quarter to a half and again from a half to three quarters and again to one over one which is one beat, again two over one which is two beats

1:57 Trans, quarter, half, three quarters, one

And again, 4 over 1, which is 4 beats or the count of one bar. Press the filter again. Now the filter's off. Now we'll press echo. At the moment the echo is 4 over 1, one bar. Watch what happens and listen when I press cue. We have the echo still playing. Press play. Move back over. Press the beat again. 2 over 1. 1 over 1. 3 quarters. Half. Exactly the same thing will happen. Okay, depress echo, go to trans, quarter, half, three quarters, one over one, two over one, four over one. Press again, press skid. So basically what's happening there is it's almost skidding the track to a halt and starting from still and speeding up slowly. Okay, we're going to phase. Can do more. All with the effects, but in this video it's a basic idea of the sounds you can achieve. We'll go to flanger and to pan. Basically what's happening with pan is the sound will go from one side to the other. In other words, the music will go from the right to the left to the right to the left. So it's very difficult to get that effect through this microphone from this particular camera. Okay, small video on this guy here.

More to come. It's from American Audio. It's known as the Radius 1000. Practice and enjoy.
