Hue
HUE is a 6hp Eurorack audio color processing effect comprising of a
chain of four effects and one compressor all aimed to color the sound.
Each effect imparts a particular coloration, tone, distortion, or texture to
the source audio. The initial concept was born of a debate about the
techniques and processes used to make drum machines sound big, bold,
and delicious. The sounds that tug at the hearts of boombap, LoFi, and
subsequently modbap, enthusiasts are those that have great texture, lush
degradation, soft distortion, and big bold strokes of color. The classic
beloved drum machines were often processed with outboard gear,
recorded to tape, pressed to vinyl, played in big booming systems,
sampled, and resampled and on and on. Ultimately, those are the sounds
that become nostalgic and reminiscent of all that we love about classic
LoFi boombap production. Hue’s layout positions the DJ style lter knob
for ease of tweaking. Drive boosts and lightly distorts the signal, while
Shift+Drive adjusts the Drive tone. The Filter is a low pass lter to the left
and a high pass lter to the right. Tape effect is intended to impart
cassette tape saturation, while Shift+Tape adjusts the intensity. LoFi
adjusts bit depth, while Shift+LoFi adjusts sample rate. Lastly, the one
knob compressor serves as the nal glue in the signal path. HUE is a
textural beast when creative modulation is thrown at it. HUE puts the
power to shape and transform your sound at your ngertips, is great for
beeng up drums and equally magical on melodic content. HUE can be
the glue that brings it all together. It also, pairs well with Trinity and Osiris.
