Welcome
Thank you for downloading this fine plug-in from BetabugsAudio.
As withevery plug-in we make, we have packed as much functionality
as possibleinto a streamlined user interface.
This is a story of two software developers who decided to
collaborate. Itdidn't work out. The end. The sequel, however, is
about two otherdevelopers (one graphic, one software) who heard
about the first story--but made it work out. Thus ends the
4-sentence epic.
FloFi combines a filter with an octave pitch shift algorithm.
The filteredsignal runs through the pitch shift, at which time it
may be further altered.This signal is then added back to the
original, for effects ranging from asubtle livening of dead
sources, to trashy thrash. The choice is yours!
In order to get the most out of FloFi, please spend a few
moments readingthis brief manual.

Controls
FloFi is controlled by a set of 5 knobs, conveniently and
clearly labeled onthe plug-in itself:
FREQ The source frequency that will be shifted up by an
octave
WIDTH The width of the frequency band being shifted
BOOST The amount of level boost applied to the pitched signal. A
limiter works to prevent unmusical digital distortion
DETUNE The signal being shifted can be detuned by approximately
+/- 2.5 semitones
MIX The amount of the pitch-shifted and altered signal to be
mixed back into the original.
