klevgrand Knorr User Manual

Welcome!

This is the user manual for Knorr, a bass vitalizer plug-in effect available for iPad (AUv3) and Mac & Windows (AU/VST/AAX). It has been designed and developed by Klevgrand, a small studio in Stockholm, Sweden. Knorr is a plugin that adds intensity and sharpness to a monophonic low frequency audio source (like a bass). The algorithm adds overtones to an existing sound in a way that isn’t possible with ordinary distortion or ﬁltering.

LICENSING (DESKTOP ONLY)

Until unlocked, the plug-in will output 1 second of silence now and then. To unlock the full version, click the Demo label (bottom left corner) and type/paste your license key.

SPECIFICATIONS / SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

THE KNORR ALGORITHM

The internals uses a combination of ﬁltering, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. The algorithm internal settings is developed with bass in mind, but can be used on any monophonic sound source as long as there’s audio content in the low mids (and below) available.
