Thank you for using Gorgon. This basic overview should help you to get familiar with all its
functions.
Gorogon is a wild distortion effect with FM ring-modulation, short delay, sample rate
reduction, and a Lowpass / Highpass filter thrown in the signal path that can be modulated using a
signal follower. It is especially aimed at destroying drum beats and generating circuit-bending-like
noises.
The signal chain is :
Input Metal Delay FM Ringmod LP/HP Filter Samplerate Reduction Distortion Output
Be careful when tweaking some parameters as, depending on the input sound, it can result in very
loud noises!
PARAMETERS :
Envelope section :
Destruction section :
Over : when switched on (blue light) it will activate 8x oversampling mode. Use this mode when
you notice audible aliasing artifacts (on high pitched input signals) : it will reduce aliasing but will
hit your CPU harder.
MIDI FUNCTIONS :
Gorgon can respond to MIDI program changes and MIDI CCs. Note that it receives MIDI
messages from any channel.
To assign a MIDI CC to a parameter, right click on the desired knob/fader/button. A menu
will pop-up : select MIDI learn, move the control you want to attach on your MIDI interface, and
that's it. The parameter will now react to the assigned CC messages. To remove MIDI mapping for a
parameter, right click again on that parameter, and in the pop-up menu choose MIDI unlearn.
Note that CC mappings will be saved with the plugin state/preset. That way, when you'll
recall your project, your previous mappings will still be active.
If the effect is on an audio track, you may need to send MIDI to that track for the previous
functions to work : please refer to your DAW documentation.
PRESETS :
Gorgon comes with a selection of presets from Glitchmachines (http://www.glitchmachines.com).
You can switch between presets of the currently loaded bank directly from the bottom of the
interface. Meanwhile, preset management (renaming/storing/importing/exporting) is currently
delegated to the host using standard VST fxp and fxb format or AU preset format : please refer to
your DAW documentation.
