1.3 Concepts and Terminology
The OneKnob Series plugins are designed to be inserted on Digital Audio Workstation
track inserts. They are not designed to work in auxiliary send/return setups, but can be
inserted in any plugin insert slot.
The basic concept of the OneKnob Series is that all plugins have one knob that allows
doing more or less of what the plugin's name suggests.
The plugin’s initial or default state is usually neutral, leaving the input signal unchanged.
The default value is usually 0, or the minimal control setting. The one exception is
OneKnob Filter, where 10 (the maximum control value) is the default setting.
These plugins are about fun and ease of use, not necessarily about precision or expert
processing. Since the plugins are all Native processors, they may sometimes output a
hot signal that goes over the full scale (0 dBFS), in which case they will clip at the D/A
converter. You can either use the tools in your DAW to reduce the output level and
eliminate the clipping, or trust what you hear and go with whatever sounds best, even if it
lights the little red LED at the top of your DAW meter.
