Headrush Rhythmic
Splicer
Inspired by HeadRush® Original
Rhythmic audio slicing + modulation effect similar to:
- trance gate
- smart stutter
- EDM slicer
GENERAL FUNCTION
Cuts the signal in rhythmic segments (slices)
Apply:
- gating (on/off)
- filters
- effects
Result:
- automatic groove
- synchronized rhythmic pattern
Control Parameters
Category
- Pattern category
Examples:
- basic
- complex
- rhythmic
- glitches
Variation
- pattern variation
Change:
- sequence
- accents
Modes
- type of slicing
Determine:
- how the signal is cut
- how repetitions behave
Effects: SFXY/N
Activate additional effects
type:
- glitches
- reverse
- creative processing
Effects: BPFY/N
- active Band Pass Filter
Effect:
- more “telephone” sound
- focus on averages
Attack%
Entry time
- low: clean cut
- high: soft
Decay%
Sound duration.
- low: short
- tall: long
Gate Length%
Length of the signal within each slice.
Behavior:
- bass: staccato
- medium: groove
- high: almost continuous
HPF%
- amount of high pass filter
Effect:
- low → full
- tall → thin
Useful to avoid “mud”
Mix%
Dry/wet blend
- 0%: dry
- 50%: parallel
- 100%: effect only
Speed
- slicing speed
Sync
- sync BPM
BPM
- manual time
On Pluck
- activate effect only when you play
Pro Tips
- Low Gate Length → very staccato effect
- Low attack → “hard” sound
- High HPF → low leak
- High mix → less intelligibility
Workflow:
- choose Category + Variation
- Gate Length rule
- then Attack/Decay
- add FX
