Timbre-altering fades

To characterfully fade elements into and out of the track, Tom reaches for another custom rack, this time based around Live’s Grain Delay, combined with other previously-seen devices such as Auto Filters, EQs and Filter Delays. “It’s a pretty complex rack setup for such a basic job, but I’ve built it in such a way you can use it on any type of sound.” The rack is controlled via a single macro knob which, when automated, modulates parameters in every effect in the chain. This filters the sound and alters its timbre in a unique way.
