A Techno Music Programming Masterclass With The Black Dog

Using effects

Apply an audio effect by using the push_fx command. Reverberation (reverb) adds a sense of space.

Change the wetLevel to between 0 and 1 to vary the amount of effect. This example used a delay effect.

Use chorus to thicken a sound.

Expert tips from The Black Dog

Lines that start with -- are comments, which are ignored. You can add and remove comments to quickly turn effects on and off.

Use a phaser effect to add a sense of movement to a sound.

Create huge washes of sound by chaining effects together, such as a delay into a reverb, or a reverb into another reverb!
