AUTO DOPPLER

Owner’s Manual

What Are ADD-ON EFFECTS?

ADD-ON EFFECTS are software packages that let you add on and use high level effect programs in your

digital console or similar device.

What is Auto Doppler?

Auto Doppler is one of the effects programs that can be used with ADD-ON EFFECTS.

It simulates a Doppler effect as a sound source is moved.

The volume, orientation, and pitch will change according to settings you make for the path and speed of the sound source.

What is the Interactive Spatial Sound Processor (iSSP)?

iSSP is a technology that combines a geometric sound simulator that attenuates sound according to an

estimate of the sound reﬂection that accompanies the shape of a room, taking into consideration the

direction of the sound source and the room's surface materials with multi-channel signal processor

technology that uses information about the position of the sound source to perform distance attenuation

based on the balance and delay/ﬁlter for each output channel.

This iSSP technology is used in Auto Doppler.

Installing Auto Doppler

See the ADD-ON EFFECTS Installation Guide for more information on installing Auto Doppler.

Using Auto Doppler

As with other effects, you can recall and edit the Auto Doppler program on the console or in Studio Manager.

The basic operation is as follows:

1Select one of the internal effects processors.

2Patch the signal to and from the currently selected effects processor.

3Locate the Effects Library page.

4Select and recall Auto Doppler.

nWhen you recall the program, all effects processor outputs will be muted temporarily.

5Locate the Effects Edit page.

6Set the parameters. (See the “Part Names and Functions” on page 3 for more information on Auto Doppler parameters.)

The procedure for recalling and editing Auto Doppler varies depending on the console you are using.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your console for more information.

Editing Parameters in Studio Manager

In Studio Manager, editable parameters appear in both the Auto Doppler window and the Generic Editor window.

The Auto Doppler window enables you to edit Auto Doppler speciﬁc parameters, and the Generic Editor window enables you to

edit parameters common to Auto Doppler and other Effects.

Refer to the Studio Manager Owner’s Manual for your console for more information on the Generic Editor window.

1Position View

In Auto Doppler, the listening point is the center point in this view, and is displayed in purple. The path of the sound source

is displayed as a curve.

1Path

2Start Point (S)

This is the beginning position for sound source movement.

The start point is not edited directly. Instead it is determined by the time difference between the Start and the Transit

Timecode, along with the Speed.

3Transit Point (T)

This is the location on the path that is closest to the listening point.

The Transit Point cannot be edited directly. Instead it is determined by the path.

Path Movement Curve Orientation Curve Steepness

In the Auto Doppler window, you can move

the path by using the mouse to drag the

control handle the center of the path line, or

by holding down the button on the mouse

and pressing the arrow keys on the

keyboard.

You can also move the path using the [INFL

L/R] and [INFL F/R] knobs in the Generic

Editor window and console.

In the Auto Doppler window, you can

change the orientation of the curve by

dragging the points or using the arrow keys

as shown in the diagram.

The curve orientation can also be adjusted

using the [ANGLE] knob in the Generic

Editor window and console.

In the Auto Doppler window, you can

change the steepness of the curve by

dragging the points or using the arrow keys

as shown in the diagram.

The steepness of the curve can also be

adjusted using the [CURVE] knob in the

Generic Editor window and console.

4End Point (E)

This is the stop position for sound source movement.

The end point is not edited directly. Instead it is determined by the time difference between the Transit and End, along with

the Speed.

5Sound Source Position

The current position of the sound source is displayed in green.

It is not displayed while ofﬂine because automation is impossible then.

6Transit Point Value Display

The direction and distance from the listening point to the transit point are displayed as numbers.

7Grid Interval Display

Displays the size of one square on the grid.

This interval is automatically switched when the zoom amount is changed.

2[ZOOM] Slider/[FIT] Button

The [ZOOM] slider is used to enlarge or reduce the Position View. The [FIT] button automatically zooms the curve from the

start point to the end point to a size that stretches across the available area.

3SPEED

[SPEED] Slider/[SPEED] Knob

This is the speed of the sound source's movement.

It can simulate everything from the speed of a person walking to the speed of a jet.

The sound source moves constantly along the path at the set speed. The value is displayed on the right side of the speed

display. The units displayed can be switched through a pull-down menu. Km/h, m/sec, and mph can be selected as the

units.

The value can be changed by double-clicking the slider or speed display and entering a number from the keyboard. It can

also be changed by dragging the mouse up and down on the speed display.

4FADE TIME

[FADE TIME] Slider/[FADE TIME] Knob

This sets the length of time for the fade-in from the set start point, and the fade-out time to the end point.
