HINDER: Parameters & Operation

HINDER features the following basic sections:

• Input Section, consisting of a saturation - heat and a bit reducer module
• Delay, with main delay controls, sync, feedback, timbre etc.
• Feedback Path Modules, consisting of feedback multimode resonant filter, and compressor
• Modulation, for delay time, with rate and depth
• Output, With Mix and Volume

Parameters

(Figure 1)

1. BITS: Adjust the quantization bits of the quantizer module
2. BITS MIX: Adjusts the mix of the quantization module
3. COLOR: Sets the overall timbre of Hinder, bright or dark
4. LINK: When active, delay time is linked for stereo mode
5. FEED: Sets the feedback amount
6. SYNC: When active the delay time is synced to the host BPM
7. DELAY L: Sets the delay time for the left channel
8. DELAY R: Sets the delay time for the right channel
9. WIDTH: Sets the amount of delay offset of the right channel delay, when the plugin is operating in stereo mode
10. REVERSE: When active the delay buffer is reversed
11. FC: Sets the feedback filter cutoff
12. Q: Sets the feedback filter resonance
13. 12/24: Sets the db per octave
14. HP/LP: Sets the feedback filter type (Lowpass or Highpass)
15. COMP: Sets the feedback compression amount
16. SPEED: Sets the feedback compression time response
17. HEAT: Controls the input saturation amount
18. MOD. DEPTH: Sets the modulation depth of the delay time
19. MOD. RATE: Sets the modulation rate of the delay time
20. MIX: Sets the mix amount of the effect
21. VOLUME: Sets the overall volume of the plugin
22. Parameter Display: Shows the values of the tweaked parameters
23. Help Display: Shows a tooltip whenever the mouse is over a parameter
24.  Preset Browser: Hinder comes with factory presets, and gives the user the ability to create custom ones. The presets are located at:
    1. Windows C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Inertia Sound Systems\Plugin Presets\Hinder\
    2. macOS /Users/Shared/Inertia Sound Systems/Plugin Presets/Hinder/
    3. Linux ~/.config/Inertia Sound Systems/Plugin Presets/Hinder/

       In the actions section can perform the following

       Save Preset: A new preset is saved in the user preset folder. When a new preset is saved the plug-in loads it immediately.
       Init: Initialises the plug-in. All parameters are set to their default values.

Default Values & Parameter Fine Tuning

Each knob of Hinder can be reset to its default value by double clicking or by pressing alt + click on it. Fine tuning parameter values is possible by holding down control (Windows) or command (macOS) while tweaking a knob with the mouse.
