CV inputs and outputs

On the back of the Scream 4 you will find CV inputs for controlling the following

four parameters:

D Damage Control

Use this for dynamically changing the amount of damage effect.

D P1

The use for this depends on the selected Damage Type. For example, if the

Feedback effect is selected, this will control the Size parameter - connect it

to the CV Out on a Matrix or synth LFO for strange, flanger-like sweeps.

D P2

The use for this depends on the selected Damage Type. For example, if the

Scream effect is selected, this will control the Frequency parameter, produc-

ing a distorted wah wah sound.

D Scale

Lets you control the Scale parameter in the Body section from another CV

source, for wah wah-like effects, etc.

In addition, you find a CV output from the “Auto” (envelope follower) function in

the Body section. By connecting this to a CV input for a parameter in another

device, the level of the signal going into the Scream 4 will affect that parameter.

See below for an example on how to use this.

Tips and tricks

Don’t restrict yourself to using Scream 4 as a basic distortion stompbox, but try

it in as many ways as possible - you may be surprised to find how often Scream

4 can add power, warmth and color to your sounds. Here are some examples:

Creating a heavy drum sound

Scream 4 is ideal for processing drums. Try connecting it as an insert effect to a

Redrum device and experiment with the Damage Types and settings.

• For classic distorted drums, try the Tube, Tape or Distortion algorithms.

• The Scream algorithm is excellent for a really raw body or industrial drum

sound.

• For more weird, synth-like effects, try the Modulation or Warp effects.

Remember that you don’t have to route the whole drum kit through the Scream

device - sometimes it may be better to route the individual outputs from the bass

drum, snare and/or toms to a Spider Audio Merger (see page 248), connect the

merged output of the Spider to the Scream 4 and route this to a separate chan-

nel in the Mixer. That way, hi-hats, cymbals and similar are unprocessed.

Warming up a mix with the Tape effect

If you find your mixes a bit sterile, the Tape algorithm is excellent for providing

some warmth and gentle distortion:

1. Create a Scream 4 device and connect it between the main outputs

of the Mixer and the Audio Hardware device.

2. Set the Damage Type to Tape.

Make sure the Cut and Body sections are turned off.

3. Start with a low Damage Control setting and P1 (Speed) and P2

(Compression) at 12 o’clock.

4. Play back your mix and adjust the settings.

Raise the Damage Control for more tape saturation distortion, adjust P1 to

get the desired brightness and raise P2 if you want a more controlled, com-

pressed sound. If you like, you could also activate the Cut section and use

the three-band EQ to further adjust the sound.
