Lawnmower

Spread the love

Lawnmower is a very flexible drive unit.
From subtle breakup to more extreme fuzz-type sounds. It’s great at distorting drums, synths & even vocals. There’s also an alternative version (1.3, included in the zip file), it has a different filter. The filter of the original lawnmower sounds smoother, but uses a lot more CPU. So this version is a nice solution for those effect heavy tracks….

IN controls the amount of volume going into the lawnmower.
OUT controls the overall output-level of the lawnmower.
DRIVE Boosts the first drive section, controlling the amount of distortion/overdrive. This section is supposed to sound like an overdriven tube-amp.
DRIVE II Boosts the secund drive section. This drive is more harsh-sounding.
THRESHOLD II sets the volume level where Drive II kicks in. This can be used to create dynamic effects, where louder parts are more affected then quieter ones.
FILTER: This section controls the frequency-range going into Drive II.
CUT controls the cutoff frequency of the filter.
REZ controls the resonance of the filter. This emphasises the upper harmonics around the cutoff frequency.
MIX cross-fades the sound comming from Drive I with the output of the filter.
CLIPPER: This restricts (clips) the signal to a range between two voltages. It can be used to taim more extreme settings.
HIGH LIMIT sets the maximum level.
LOW LIMIT sets the minimum level
