PalmML: Rig page
The fixed rig after the note: eleven-band graphic EQ with 21 curves, Presence, the Dark Plate stereo reverb, and the AntiFizz + Softlim output finish.
The Rig is a fixed chain that shapes the tone after the note — every insert switches with a click-free ~15 ms fade, and inactive modules do not color the signal at all.
Graphic EQ · mono rack
- Eleven bands:
<31, 62, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k and>16kHz; each band ranges from −30 to +20 dB. - The Preset menu holds 21 selectable EQ curves. Picking a curve only sets the eleven band gains — it does not switch the EQ on by itself.
- The EQ works as a mono rack: the processed signal is duplicated to left and right, so a wide sample image folds to dual mono while the EQ is active. Stereo modules after it (vibe, chorus, Dark Plate) can re-create width.
Presence · mono rack
A single Level control (0.5–5.0) for the top-end lift a real rig gives. Like the graphic EQ it processes as a mono rack.
Dark Plate · stereo rack
A stereo plate reverb voiced for a short, dark space that does not wash out the palm-mute attack:
- Predelay 0–200 ms, Decay and Damping, Bandwidth, Mix.
- Excursion, Decay Diff 1/2 and Input Diff 1/2 shape the diffusion network — from a tight, dense thickening to a slightly more animated plate.
Output finish
- AntiFizz (switchable) — a fixed narrow stereo cut of −8.5 dB at 5,556 Hz (Q 8.5). It removes a targeted hard fizz zone without dulling the whole top end.
- Softlim (always on) — the output safety. Below −1 dBFS it is bit-transparent; above, it limits gently toward 0 dBFS. It has no bypass by design, so the end of the chain is always protected.
