An ­­­­­­­­­Effect ­­­­­­­­­is ­­­­­­­­­a ­­­­­­­­­process ­­­­­­­­­that ­­­­­­­­­alters ­­­­­­­­­a ­­­­­­­­­signal ­­­­­­­­­or ­­­­­­­­­a­­­­­­­­­ recording. ­­­­­­­­­Common ­­­­­­­­­effects­­­­­­­­­ are ­­­­­­­­­distortion, ­­­­­­­­­reverb, ­­­­­­­­­delay, ­­­­­­­­­EQ, ­­­­­­­­­and ­­­­­­­­­compression.­­­­­­­­­ RiffWorks includes these and more.

There are four places you can add effects in RiffWorks:

  1. InputEffects are setup in the MONITOR panel. They can only be used if HARDWARE monitoring is off. They are applied in real-time and can be adjusted after recording in the LAYER panel EFFECTS. The AMP plug-ins are applied pre-recording and can NOT be changed later to save cpu power.
  2. LayerEffects can be set on any LAYER. Just click the EFFECTS button on the LAYER panel to see them.
  3. RiffEffects are applied to all the layers in a Riff. If you want the same effect on all the layers in your Riff, this can save some CPU power. It's a great place to add some EQ or a little Reverb to your entire Riff.
  4. BackupEffects In the BACKUPS panel you can apply different effects to each backup separately.

  • When you LOAD a preset, it loads only the settings for effects that are on, and turns the others off, without affecting their settings.
