Joachim's Chopper

A gapper plug-in for Jeskola Buzz that features filters, de-clicker and a time travel feature.

• Trigger: Everytime you set this parameter, sound is triggered. Large values keep the sound open for an entire tick, like traditional gapper machines. Shorter values result in a logaritmic decay curve.
• Frequency: Controls the butterworth filters. Center frequency of current gap being played. This has no effect if "Bandwidth" is set to the default maximum value "OFF".
• Bandwidth: The smaller then number, the more narrow the bandpassing of this frequency will be. Largest number effectively bypasses the filter.
• Attack: Changing the volume from one sample to the next can give a click. Increase this until you are not bothered with clicks. Too large values make the attack become dull.
• Travel back: Instead of letting the current sound through, you can go back in time and play previous stuff.
• Rows per beat (attribute): If you use this plug-in with Pattern XP with a different Rows Per Beat setting than the default of "4", you should change this. When in doubt simply leave this at 4.
• Filter steepness (attribute): If you don't find the filter aggressive enough, increasing this will make the filter effect more drastic.
