Drive, Model and Style
OK. So now that we've looked at some preset sounds, let's check out some controls on Chromo Glow. I'm going to demonstrate this on the keys part. So let's open up the mixer, find the keys part, tap on Chromo Glow and then tap on show details and then hide the mixer. So we have a bit more space. So in this video, we'll look at drive model and style, we've already looked at drive, but I'll go over this again in case you missed the last video. So the drive dial allows us to set the amount of saturation. This goes from 0%. So no effect applied all the way up to 100% before we play anything back. I'm just going to disable the low cut and the high cut filters down here. We'll look at these in detail in the next few videos, but I want us to hear the sound clearly and not filter these frequencies. Let's just solo the keys part and draw and play back or adjust this drive dial. So you can hear the difference. You can also apply the saturation effect of instruments such as vocals or electric guit...
ar. OK? So now let's have a look at the different models over here. Chromo Glow has been modeled from different hardware units and we can see these different models by tapping here to see this drop down list. Let's now briefly talk about these different models. I do recommend testing these out yourself. Well, I'll go over the differences quickly. Now, first, we have retro tube. This is good for vintage vibes and emulates a single stage vacuum tube. This is also the model we were listening to previously. Then we've got modern tube. This gives you heavier distortion. When you use higher gain settings. This model will also give you more harmonic richness than retro tube. Let's hear this back to hear the difference. Then we've got the magnetic model. This emulates the saturation qualities of an analog tape machine. This adds harmonics and can give you a slightly compressed and warm sound. So this model can be useful to achieve an analog fail. Let's say this back then there's squeeze, this emulates the saturation you can get by pushing a compressor. This can create harmonic distortion and can add color to the tone and can add warmth. Let me show you now, then there's analog preamp which emulates a solid state preamp. This can make your audio sound like it was recorded with an analog preamp and can give your sound punchy and edgy quality. Let's hear this back. So I recommend testing out these different models and choosing whichever is most suitable for your part for. Now though, let's go back to retro tube, we also have two different styles to choose for each model. So retro tube, modern tube magnetic and analog pre app have the same two styles to choose from. And these are clean and colorful, the colorful style will sound more colorful as it introduces more harmonic saturation. So this style, we can hear the saturation effect a bit more than the clean style. So if you want a heavier saturation effect, you could slap the colorful style. For the squeeze model, we have different styles and these are soft press and hard press. Soft press will give us a smoother or more natural compression and hard press will give us a more punchy compression with more distortion. Let's now play this back and I'll swap between the two again though. Let's put this back to retro tube. OK. So that's drive model and style. Next, we continue looking at this effect. We will look at bypass level and mix. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there.
