3. Flux Mini CM’s presets

-

1

Flux Mini CM comes with a range of great presets spread over three main banks – related to the main Modulation options, Amp, Filter and Pan – plus a User Bank (see later). You can return to the main intro sound by loading in the Default option as shown. 2

For some pseudo sidechain action, turn to the Amp folder and try any of the Fakechain options which use volume modulation to simulate the pumping effects you get with sidechaini­ng. 3

Similarly, Pumping HPF in the Filter folder gives a nice pumping effect with the low end removed, especially ‘present’ with the Sync setting at 1/4 as shown above.

4

We rather like Talk To Me as well – found in the Filter Folder. It gives you a kind of ‘wow’ rhythmic effect which, when used on the right audio, could be more vocal than it was when applied to our drum loop.

5

We like this riser effect from the Filter bank too, which takes place over four bars but which can easily be adjusted down using the Sync option.

6

Pancake Ride in the Amp folder is a good one to load to get you more jittery timing effects on your drum loops and also works well on lower Sync values.

7

Scatter from the Pan folder looks like it might be crazy but sounds remarkably restrained and also chains well as one of multiple Flux Mini CMs.

8

Finally you can easily save any good effects you come up with simply by hitting the disk icon which will automatica­lly save your current effect into one of the spare user slots on Flux Mini CM. Happy (free) tweaking!
