Please note:

[1] The samples given below are temporary and are intended to do no more than approximate each type of signal treatment.

[2] The samples do not cover every type of sound treatment in general use. For example, flanging is absent, as are gating, limiting, compression, as well as various types of delay and reverb not included on this page.

[3] To hear sound treatment (incl. compressor, etc.) of the spoken word, visit the Matrix Oral History Tutorial page.
