3. Introduction

Thank you for downloading Thump by Metric Halo. Thump synthesizes bass notes from the input signal,
allowing you to generate anything from simple drum reinforcement to synthetic bass lines. This manual will
show you how to use Thump in your audio projects.

17

4. Operation

As with most plug-ins, Thump provides many copies of controls that are all operated in a similar manner. The
Thump user interface uses a few different control elements to control all of the processing. These elements are:

Control Knob

Control Knobs are used to control the value of various continuous parameters of a process. Examples of these
types of parameters include: Attack Frequency, Envelope Attack, Out Gain, etc.

Figure 4.1: Swept Knob

The rings around these encoders sweep from a minimum to maximum value, from left to right.

You can change the value of each knob in a number of different ways. Click and drag the knob to change the
value continuously. Dragging up or to the right will increase the value, while dragging down or to the left will
decrease the value. If you hold down the Mac ⌘ (Command) key or Windows Control key when you click,
you will be able to adjust the value with finer precision. If you hold the Mac ⌥ (Option) key or Windows Alt
key when you click, the knob will reset to its default value. You may also double-click a knob to reset it.

Click on the number (readout) of the knob to display a text entry field that allows you to type in a number
directly. The pop-up will remain active until you dismiss it by clicking somewhere else or hitting the return,
enter, tab, Mac ⌘. (Command + .), Windows Alt key or ESC keys. Hit return or enter to confirm the value
and dismiss the pop-up. Hit the tab key to confirm the value and display an entry field for the next control. ⇧-

tab (Shift + tab) will display the entry field for the previous control). Hit the Mac ⌘. (Command + .), Windows
Control. (Control + .) or ESC (Escape) to dismiss the pop-up and cancel the change.

When you enter a number into the pop-up entry, you can use a couple of abbreviations: “k” multiplies the
number by 1000 and “m” divides the number by 1000. So if you want to enter 16,500 Hz you can just type

16.5k.

Toggle Button

Figure 4.2: Toggle Button (Off)

Figure 4.3: Toggle Button (On)

Toggle buttons are simple on/off switches. They light up when they are on and are dark when they are off. You
toggle the state of the button by clicking on it. These buttons are used to enable the oscillators.

18

Fader

Operation

Figure 4.4: Mix Fader

The faders are used to control the output gain of the oscillators. This allows you to set the mix level of each tone.

Tooltip Control

Figure 4.5: Tooltip Control

This button toggles the tooltip display. When enabled, tooltips will be shown when the mouse hovers over a
control. When the tooltip display is disabled, you may still see tooltips by holding down the ? key and hovering
over a control.

Oscillator Pitch History

Figure 4.6: Pitch History Display

This display shows the activity of the two oscillators; Oscillator 1 is shown in green, Oscillator 2 in orange. As
the display scrolls from right to left, each trace displays the oscillator output. As the oscillator pitch goes up in
frequency, the trace goes higher in the window. As the oscillator output gets louder, the trace gets brighter.

19

Operation

Output Meter

Figure 4.7: Output Meter

For the main output stage of Thump we have provided meters driven with SpectraFoo™ metering technology.
These meters show, in addition to the peak metering provided for the input stages, RMS level and VU level. The
peak level is represented by the floating colored bar, the RMS level by the solid colored bar and the VU level
by the overlaid gray bar. Both the Peak and RMS level are represented with fast PPM ballistics. The VU meter
shows IEEE standard 300 ms RMS average level. When Thump is on a mono insert there will be a single meter.
When Thump is running in stereo mode the left meter shows the left channel output level and the right meter
shows the right channel output level. The output section clip lights activate if there is an over in the output
stage or in any of the processing section input stages. It is reset by clicking on the meter; Mac ⌥ (Option)–click
or Windows Alt-click to reset the clip lights on all the meters.

A Note About Clipping Indicators:

The clip lights do not mean that the plug-in is clipping; it means that the audio level in the DSP is
currently over 0 dBFS. If you do not lower the signal level you run a chance of actually clipping the
input of another processor or D/A convertor.

A Detailed Description

In this chapter we'll discuss what each processing block does and how the controls work.

Figure 5.1: Thump Signal Flow

The block diagram above illustrates the overall structure of the processing system provided by Thump. The
diagram does not indicate the various metering blocks.

Now lets examine the various processing blocks indicated in the diagram.

Amplitude Followers

Thump's Amplitude Followers convert the audio input into control signals for the oscillators. The Envelope
Amplitude Follower extracts an envelope that is used to control the amplitude of the output of the oscillator.
The Pitch Amplitude Follower extracts an envelope that is used to control the pitch of the oscillators.

21

Processing

Each Amplitude Follower functions as an envelope detector that is driven by the input audio signal. The
Amplitude Follower extracts the amplitude envelope from the signal. Each Amplitude Follower provides the
following controls that you can use to control it's behavior:

• The Envelope Atk. and Pitch Atk. controls set the attack time constant in milliseconds (ms) of their
respective Amplitude followers. The attack time constant controls how quickly the envelope output
increases when the level of the input signal is higher than than the envelope output. Smaller values cause
the envelope to follow the signal more closely, but values that are too small could lead to distortion,
depending on the characteristics of the input signal.

• The Envelope Sust. and Pitch Sust. controls set the release time constant in milliseconds (ms) of their
respective Amplitude followers. The release time constant controls how quickly the envelope output
decreases when the level of the input signal is lower than than the envelope output. Smaller values cause
the envelope to follow the signal more closely, but values that are too small could lead to distortion,
depending on the characteristics of the input signal.

Oscillators

The envelope outputs from the Amplitude Followers are used to control the two oscillators that make up
Thump's synthesis section. Each oscillator has two controls to allow you to adjust how the frequency of the
oscillator changes with the control input from the Pitch Amplitude Follower:

• Atk. Frequency: This control sets the frequency of the oscillator when the Pitch Amplitude Follower
output is at its maximum value (e.g. the input signal is at full-scale). This control ranges from 1 to 440 Hz.

• Sust. Frequency: This control sets the frequency of the oscillator when the Pitch Amplitude Follower
output is at its minimum value (e.g. the input signal is silent). This control ranges from 1 to 440 Hz.

As the output of the Pitch Amplitude Follower swings from its minimum value to its maximum value, the
oscillator's frequency will swing from the value set by the Sust. Freq. to the value set by the Atk. Freq. Each of
the controls can take any value in the range, so that the oscillator frequency can be decreasing as the signal
decays away, increasing as the signal decays away or even constant (if both controls are set to the same value).
The traditional decaying pitch drum sound can be made by setting the attack frequency higher than the sustain
frequency. The frequency characteristics of each oscillator can be set independently.

The output of the Envelope Amplitude Follower is used to control the amplitude envelope of the output of the
oscillators. The overall amplitude of each oscillator is independently controlled by its associated mix param­eter. By adjusting the Env Atk. and Env Sust. parameters you can control how audible the attack frequency
sweep is, and how long the decay of the sound will continue to be audible.

The oscillators have two master controls:

• Enable: This button turns each oscillator on and off.

• Mix: this fade sets the output level of each oscillator, from -∞ to +6 dB.

Output

Thump's output section has two controls:

• Wet/Dry Mix: This controls the balance between the original signal and synthesized audio. 0% is full
dry (no effect), 50% is equal balance and 100% is full effect (no original audio). If you are using Thump
on an aux bus, you would traditionally set the Wet/Dry Mix to 100.

• Out Gain: This sets the final output level of Thump, and ranges from -24 to +24 dB.

6. Pro Tools (Mac/Win)

Your Pro Tools software provides a standard interface for controlling various aspects of AAX plug-ins. While
you should refer to your Pro Tools documentation for a complete description, we will summarize the most
important points here.

If you wish to use a plug-in on multiple channels in your mix, you should Mac ⌥ (Option) or Windows Alt
insert the plug-in on the desired channels and ensure that the plug-in is inserted on the same insert point
on every channel (e.g. ensure that the plug-in is on insert “a” for every channel). This will allow you to take
advantage of a number of time saving features provided by Pro Tools.

Plug-in Window

The illustration below shows the standard Pro Tools plug-in window.

Figure 6.1: Pro Tools Plug-in Window

If you have inserted your plug-in(s) as we suggested above you can click on the channel name pop-up in the
upper left hand corner of the window (labeled “Audio 1” above) to switch from channel to channel.

The next pop-up in the window (labeled “b” above) allows you to switch to another insert on the same channel.
You would use this to switch to another plug-in on the same channel.

The bypass button allows you to bypass the effects of the plug-in.

The Pro Tools editor/librarian button (the small, downward pointing triangle) provides access to a pop-up menu
that allow you to manage presets and libraries of settings for the plug-in. Use this menu to save libraries or
open groups of libraries. See your Pro Tools documentation for more information.

The preset library pop-up menu (labeled “factory default” above) shows the active preset name (in italics if the
current settings do not match the library). Click this pop-up to select from the available presets.

The “Compare” button indicates when the controls have changed for the current preset settings. Click this
button to toggle between your current settings and the preset settings.

Figure 6.2: Compare Button

Clicking the “Automation” button causes Pro Tools to display the plug-in automation configuration dialog box:

25

Pro Tools (Mac/Win)

Figure 6.3: Automation Window, Showing Thump's Parameters

This dialog box allows you to enable any or all of the processing parameters for automation. When a parameter
is enabled for automation you will be able to record and play-back automated parameter changes directly
from your Pro Tools session. If the channel that the plug-in is inserted on has automation enabled Character
will highlight the controls associated with the automated parameters:

• Off: No color

• Read: Green

• Touch, Latch, Write: Red

• Controlled via control surface: Blue
