Frequently Asked Questions - Redoptor 2 D16 Group

How can I fine-tune a knob in Redoptor 2?

Hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or Cmd key (macOS) while moving the knob. This enables precise adjustment with up/down mouse movements.

How do I reset a parameter to its default value?

Double-click on any knob or slider to restore its value to the initial state (either the default after loading the plugin or from the last loaded preset).

How do I check the exact value of a parameter?

Right-click on the parameter to open its context menu. The menu displays the current parameter name and value (e.g., 'Parameter Name 0%'). Note that entering a precise value is not currently supported.

How can I save my current plugin settings as default?

Click the Cog icon in the upper-left corner, go to Default State submenu, and choose Save current. This saves all sound parameters, GUI settings, MIDI maps, etc., as the default for new instances.

How do I restore factory defaults?

Click the Cog icon, go to Default State, and select Restore factory. This resets the plugin to its original factory settings for new instances.

How do I export presets for sharing?

Select one or more presets in the Preset Browser, then drag-and-drop them outside your DAW into a folder. The presets are saved as individual files in the plugin's native format.

How do I import presets from other users?

Drag-and-drop preset files (in the plugin's native format) directly into the Preset Browser. They will be automatically imported as user presets.

What is the difference between Favorites and Pins?

Favorites are stored globally, so a preset marked as favorite is accessible from all instances of the plugin. Pins are stored locally within the project file, so they persist per instance and are recalled with the project.

How do I assign a MIDI controller to a parameter?

Right-click the parameter, expand the context menu, click Learn, then move a physical controller on your MIDI device. Confirm with OK. To unlink, use the Clear button in the same menu.

Can I change the GUI size or theme?

Yes. Click the Cog icon, go to GUI submenu, and configure Size, System Scale, and Theme to match your screen resolution and preference.

Preliminary information

This chapter contains general advice for using the plug-in's interface.

To do a right-click on macOS with single button mice:

Either use your mouse click while holding the CTRL key on your keyboard or use two fingers on your touchpad.

Checking the value of a parameter

Right-click on any parameter to check its value in its context menu:

A parameter's context menu

Note: It's currently not possible to enter a precise value in the input box; it's just to check the value.

Fine-tuning continuous parameters

Tweak a control (knob) while holding the CTRL key (on Windows) or Apple CMD key (on macOS) - this will make the tweaking more precise while moving the mouse pointer up and down.

Double-click to reset a continuous parameter's value

Double-clicking on a parameter restores its value to the initial state, either default (right after loading the plug-in / loading it along a project file) or from the most recently loaded preset.

Overview

Redoptor 2 is a tube-emulating distortion effect.

The Redoptor 2 graphical user interface

The plugin interface comprises two main sections:

- Configuration and preset management (the top-most section)

Configuration and preset management section

• Signal processing (all other controls)

Signal flow

In this chapter, we'll describe the signal path through Redoptor 2 and explains component and its controls along the way.

Basic modules

Despite its fairly complex appearance, ilnternally Redoptor 2 consists of just a few signal processing components, each housed within its own section in the graphical user interface.

Preliminary filter

At the very start of the signal path, optional Low Cut and High Cut filters enable broad-strokes shaping of the frequency spectrum before the signal reaches the Preamp.

The preliminary filters

The Low and High Cut filters are operated using the following controls:

• Low cut – The knob adjusts the high-pass filter cutoff frequency (range: [0Hz - 300Hz]), and the button below activates/deactivates the filter.
• High cut – The knob adjusts the low-pass filter cutoff frequency (range: [1.5kHz - 8kHz]), and the button below activates/deactivates the filter.

The combined frequency response curve of the Low and High Cut filters.

Preamp

The Preamp compresses and amplifiesy (in that order) the input signal before it arrives at the Tube Clipper section.

The Preamp section

The Preamp has two control:

• Dynamics – Turn clockwise to increase the amount of compression the input signal prior to amplification.
- Gain – Sets the amount of amplification applied by the preamp in decibels, from 0dB to +100dB.

Tube drive

The Tube Drive section controls the Tube Clipper and its associated filters.

The Tube Ddrive section

There are four controls in this section:

• Bias – Controls the amplitude of the odd harmonics appearing in distorted signal. The further clockwise the knob is turned, the more harmonics in the signal.
• Tone – The output of the Tube Clipper feeds into a dual passive filter, combining; low-pass and high-pass types. The Tone parameter cross-fades between them.

    E --> F["BRIGHTNESS"]
    C --> G["IN OUT"]
    G --> H["LP FILTER"]
    H --> I["BRIGHTNESS"]
    J["BODY"] --> C

The signal flow through the Tube Drive section

• Brightness – Adjusts the post-clipping passive low-pass filter cutoff frequency.
  • Body – Adjusts the post-clipping passive high-pass filter cutoff frequency.

Parametric equalizer

The Parametric Equalizer section presents each of its four adjustable frequency bands as a column of three controlss. From left to right:

• Low – Boost or cut a frequency range peaking at [20Hz-1kHz].
• Mid-low – Boost or cut a frequency range peaking at [100Hz-5kHz].
• Mid-high – Boost or cut a frequency range peaking at [1-10kHz].
• High – Boost or cut a frequency range peaking at [5-16kHz].

Parametric EQ section

Each band offers the following parameters:

• Frequency – Sweep the center frequency of the band's peak filter.
• Gain – Boost or attenuate for the amplitude of the band by up to +/- 24 dB.
  • Band width – Broaden or narrow the frequency range of the band from 4 to 0.5 octaves.

Master section

At the final stage of the signal path, the FX knob controls the wet/dry signal mix and the Output volume knob lowers or raises the final amplification level.

Master section

For keeping excessive output level peaks under control, the optionally enabled Limiter features automatic gain make-up and adjustable Threshold.

Preset Management

Preset storage

Presets, both from Factory content and user ones, are stored as files in proper locations on the disc. Each time a plug-in instance is loaded into a project, these locations are scanned and the presets found there are consolidated into a single linear structure (list) in the Preset Browser.

Browsing presets

The Preset management section (no matter what kind of preset it concerns) enables quick navigation and browsing of the preset structure:

The Preset management section

• PRESET - Displays the name of the currently loaded preset. Clicking the display opens the Preset Browser panel, allowing you to browse factory / user presets.
  • Prev / Next - Hovering over right side of the Preset display exposes the Prev / Next buttons: They allow for linear browsing of the presets list (depending on currently set filters - see sections below).
• Save ▶ - Saves current parameters as a new preset or allows for overwriting of the existing one (see sections below).

Right-clicking over the Preset display opens a context menu with two or three additional options:

• Init - Restores initial settings of plug-in parameters.
• Reload - Reloads the most recently loaded preset.
• Save - See description above.

The Preset Browser looks as follows:

The Preset Browser

There are four main parts:

• Sources - Situated in the left column, filter content Sources for displayed presets.
  • Filter - Below Sources, a preset Filter that uses the Tags system.
  • Results - List of presets (shown in the middle column) from Sources that meet criteria set in the Filter.
  • Info pane - The right column shows information about the currently selected preset(s), divided into several subsections.

If available - For some preset types this button can be hidden and accessible from the contextual menu (accessible via right mouse-click on Preset display)
If available

Sources

In this section, you can choose a Source / Source(s) that you want to browse presets from.

Preset Sources

There are two resources to choose from:

• Factory - Delivered together with the plug-in and cannot be modified (read-only).
• User - Created by the user and can be freely modified or shared with other users.

Choosing any of them will cause the results to narrow to the presets from one resource.

Filter

The section below is the Filter, which represents a preset filtering system using Groups and Tags to browse the content.

The Filter section

Groups and tags

Each Preset is described by a few common Groups. Within each of them there may be one or more Tags from a particular set.

The Filter group

Presets from the Factory resource were assigned Groups and Tags when they were created.

Groups and Tags describe the content clearly, taking into account the plug-in's purpose.

Editing of the Groups and Tags for Factory content is limited. User presets can be described with the same Groups and Tags as Factory content, or you may define additional Tags within factory Groups and even create your own Groups with your own Tags to describe your own presets.

The only limitation is that a user cannot remove factory Groups or Tags from Factory content.

Results

This is a list of presets from chosen Sources that meet the filtering criteria. The basic function of this section is to browse and load presets. It can also be used for editing, which is described later.

Preset filtering using Groups and Tags

The Filter section contains Groups of Tags. Each Group is represented by a rectangle with the Group name + set of Tags inside.

Group 2 with two tags set (Tag 2 and Tag 3)

The filtering process cascades from top to bottom. This means that all presets available in the selected Sources are filtered by selected Tags from the first Group (uppermost one), then the Group below and so on, until filtered by the last active Group (the bottom one).

    A["SOURCES"] --> B["GROUP 1"]
    B --> C["..."]
    C --> D["GROUP M"]
    D --> E["RESULTS"]
    B --> F["TAG 1"]
    B --> G["TAG 2"]
    B --> H["TAG 3"]
    B --> I["TAG N"]
    D --> J["TAG 1"]
    D --> K["TAG 2"]
    D --> L["TAG 3"]
    D --> M["TAG N"]

Preset Filtering with the use of Groups

The result of the cascade filtering process is listed in the middle column, the Results / presets list section. You can also consider the Results list as an intersection of preset sets, found by filtering through every individual Group.

Basic Actions

Tags work as toggle buttons. Click to activate / deactivate a Tag; a gray background color means that the Tag is inactive, and orange means that the Tag is active.

Group 2 with two tags set (Tag 2 and Tag 3)

If at least one Tag in a Group is active, then the Group (filter) also becomes active, otherwise the Group chosen doesn't affect the filtering process at all.

Group operator

When a single Tag is active in a Group, only presets having that Tag set are displayed in the Results.

If two or more Tags in a Group are active, the Results depend on the Operator chosen for the Group:

A Group operator

The Operator button works in toggle mode and offers a choice of two alternative Operators for the Group:

• Any ▶- Means that a preset is shown in the Results when the preset includes at least one of the active Tags from the Group.
  • All ▶- Means that a preset is shown in the Results only when the preset includes all active Tags from the Group.

Filter enable / disable

You can quickly enable / disable the Filter using the toggle switch in the top-most section of the Filter:

An On/Off switch for a Group Filter

Other types of filtering

Searching by name

Alternatively, you can look for a preset by entering its name or just a piece of its name into the Find preset field:

The Find preset input

The Results are refreshed on-the-fly and they work together with the other filters.

Using the X icon clears the entire field:

Clearing the search field

Filtering Favorite presets

You can mark presets as a Favorite by clicking the Heart icon while hovering on preset name ▶. You can unmark presets by clicking the icon again (toggle mode):

Setting a preset as a Favorite on the list

Logical OR between Tags in the Group
Logical AND between Tags in the Group
It's allowed for every source (factory or user)

The flag is stored globally, meaning that a Favorite preset will be accessible as such from every other instance of the plug-in ▶

Once you have your Favorite presets flagged, you can quickly filter them using the toggle button with a Heart icon on it:

Find preset ...

Favorite presets filtering

If the button is active, then only Favorite presets will be shown (considering all remaining filters).

Filtering Pinned presets

You can Pin one or more presets using the Pin icon while hovering over a preset name ☐. You can unpin a preset by clicking the icon again (toggle mode):

Preset 6

Pinning a preset on the list

Unlike Favorites, this flag works locally and it's stored with the project file (not global config), so Pins are stored individually for every instance (with total recall, so a plug-in state is recalled if saved in the context of a project).

But, similarly to Favorites, you can easily filter presets using the toggle button with the Pin symbol on it:

Find preset ...

Pinned presets filtering

If the button is active, then only Pinned presets will be shown (considering all remaining filters).

Info pane

The column to the right shows information about the selected preset or presets. It also provides access to some of the preset editing functions.

The Info pane

There's a preset name at the top.

The Preset name in the Info pane

Additionally, if you've selected more than one preset there's information about how many more have been selected:

Selecting more than one preset

Below the preset(s) name there are few common sections describing selected presets:

• Tags
  • Author

Editing presets

You can perform certain actions on presets, such as adjusting Groups and Tags, deletion, renaming the presets as well as their export or import. One should bear in mind, however, that some operations are only allowed on user presets but not on Factory content.

Preset selection for Edit

Some operations can be done on more than one preset, so you're allowed to select more than one preset at once; in the Results section, you can choose a preset or a set of presets in the following ways:

• Click a preset - Selects (and loads) one preset from the list.
• Win ( Ctrl + Click the preset ), Mac ( Cmd + Click the preset ) - Adds another preset to an already chosen preset or a set of presets.
• Shift + Click the preset - Selects a range of presets from the last chosen preset to the preset clicked with the Shift key.
  • Right-Click on any Preset in the Results section and choose the Select All option - this selects all presets:

Selecting all presets

Preset renaming

On a selected preset ,night-click to open the context menu and select the Rename option:

Preset renaming

Preset deletion

Once you have selected one or more presets, right-click to open the context menu and select the Delete items ▶ option:

Deleting presets

Alternatively, you can use the Trash bin button in the Info pane to delete selected presets:

The Trash bin button

Tags editing

When you select a preset or presets to change their tags, click the Pencil button next the Tags section in the Info pane to enter Edit mode for the Tags:

Entering the Tag edit mode

With the Edit mode enabled, you will see all possible Groups and Tags available for the preset(s):

The Tag Edit mode

Tag buttons work in toggle mode, much like filtering. Clicking them either sets or erases a Tag for a chosen preset. If a Tag is set for a preset, it is indicated by an orange background color, whereas if a Tag is not set, it has a gray background color.

If you choose multiple presets with existing tags, Tag buttons will appear orange if a specific Tag appears in all selected presets, and gray if it appears in none.

When a specific Tag is set only for a few of the selected presets, it appears as half-gray and half-orange.

Tags appearing only in part of selection

Changing the Tag status for one or more chosen presets sets or erases this Tag in all these presets. A status change is signaled by an Asterisk to the left of a Tag.

A Tag with a status change

Tag buttons highlighted in half-gray and half-orange color (where Tag values across the highlighted presets aren't all the same) work in a three-state system when switching between states; they turn gray if you erase the Tag for all selected presets, orange if you set the Tag for all selected presets, and return to half-gray and half-orange if the selected items remain unchanged or are returned to their initial state.

Potential changes have to be confirmed using the OK / Cancel buttons at the top part of the Tags section:

Confirmation buttons in the Tags section

Author editing

When you select a preset or presets to change the Author, click the Pencil button next the Author section in the Info pane to enter the Edit mode for the Author field:

Editing Author

Once you've finished editing the field, confirm the operation using the OK / Cancel buttons:

Confirming Author editing

This operation is possible for user content only.

Description editing

When you select a preset or presets to change the Description, click the Pencil button next the Description section in the Info pane to enter the Edit mode for the Description field:

Setting presets as Favorites

As described in the chapters above, you can mark a preset as a Favorite by clicking the Heart icon while hovering over the preset name:

Setting a preset as a Favorite

The flag is stored globally, meaning that a Favorite preset will be accessible as such from every other instance of the plug-in.

It's also possible to perform the operation for a selection of presets. After you select the desired presets in the Results window, right-click on the presets to open a context menu:

Setting Favorite presets from the context menu

And select the Set favorite option.

To clear Favorite flags for the selection of presets, use the Clear favorite option instead.

Pinning presets

You can Pin one or more presets using the Pin icon while hovering over the preset name:

Pinning a preset

Unlike Favorites, this flag works locally and it's stored with the project file (not globally). This means the Pins are stored individually for every instance (with total recall, so a plug-in state is recalled if saved in the context of a project).

It's also possible to perform the operation for a selection of presets. After selecting the desired presets in the Results window, right-click on the presets list to open the context menu:

Pinning presets from selection

And select the Pin option.

To clear the Pin flag for a selection of presets, use the Unpin option instead.

Preset exchange

If you want to make a backup, or exchange a preset with a collaborator, you can export / import selected presets.

Export

Select a preset or presets that you're going to export and drag-and-drop them outside your DAW into a location you'd like to store them:

Exporting presets

The presets will be saved as individual files (one per preset) in the plug-in's native format.

Import

If you'd like to import preset files, you can drag-and-drop preset files from where they're stored, into the preset browser:

Importing presets

They will be automatically imported as user presets.

Importing Patterns

Specifically within the Pattern browser, it's possible to import:

• Native Phoscyon 2 patterns.
- Banks from legacy versions of the plug-in (Phoscyon 1.x) - which will be accessible as alternative Sources, after you drag-and-drop them into the Browser.
• Patterns from Audiorealism ABL 2 or 3 instruments - which will be included in User patterns after import.

Creating custom Tags and Groups structure

Adding custom Tags

Users are allowed to add their own custom Tags to both their own content and factory content. To add a new Tag to an existing filter Group, click over the Group's name to pull down a menu and select the Add Tag option ▶:

Adding a new Tag

You can do this either in the Info Pane (right column, while the Tag edit mode is enabled) or Filter (left column).

Editing custom Tags

There are a few edit options available for a user to perform on their own Tags, which are available by right-clicking a Tag's name in the Filter section:

The Filter section

You will see a context menu with all the available options:

Editing options for a user Tag

• Rename - Changes the name of a Tag.
  • Move to - Moves a Tag to another Group.
• Remove - Deletes a Tag.

The menu is accessible only for a user's own Tags.

Adding custom Groups

You can add a custom filter to Groups by clicking the Filter label and selecting the Add Group option from the pull-down menu:

Adding a user Group

From here, you can add Tags to that newly created Group (see above), or move ▶ Tags from other Groups.

You can also add a custom filter to Groups in the Info Pane (right column) or Filter (left column).

Editing custom Groups

There are a few edit options available for a user to perform on their own Groups. Click on a Group's name in the Filter section:

The Filter section

You will see a context menu with the following options:

Edit options for a user Group

• Add Tag - Adds a new tag to the Group (described earlier).
• Rename - Changes the Group's name.
• Remove - Deletes the Group, possible only when all Tags in the Group have also been removed.
• Move up - Moves a Group up in the Filter. Possible unless the Group is already the topmost one.
• Move down - Moves a Group down in the Filter. Possible unless the Group is the last one.

These operations are possible only on user Groups.

Groups in the Filter are ordered with Groups from Factory content first, then user groups below.

You can edit user Groups in either the Info Pane (right column, while Edit mode for Tags is enabled) or Filter (left column).

Unassigned Tags

When you receive content from a collaborator who uses different Tags and Groups, some Tags may show as Unassigned. This happens if the filter structure made by a preset's author is different.

Unassigned Tags

You can move the Tags across your Groups to make them fit your scheme, or re-tag the collaborator content entirely.
