Electric Matter
(VST2, VST3, AU, AAX)
produced by Luca Capozzi (Audiority Srls), April 2022

Current Manual version: v1.1
The Electric Matter is a faithful simulation of the Electro-Harmonix® Deluxe Electric MistressTM, a late 70’s BBD flanger and filter matrix pedal. This flanger, featuring a Reticon SAD1024 BBD chip, has been used by countless artists for either subtle, to make leads dreamy and divine, or more prominent to emulate Leslie rotors. Compared to the classic version, the Deluxe models feature a different LFO and VCO circuit, leading to a wider range of settings. Our Electric Matter goes further by fixing the tone sucking and volume drop often related to these hardware units.
Please, read carefully both product specifications and system requirements before purchasing any Audiority product.

PLUGIN ACTIVATION

Once you install and open the plugin for the first time, it will be in Demo Mode until a license file is loaded.
In Demo Mode, the plugin will output 3 seconds of silence every minute.

You can activate the plugin either OFFLINE or ONLINE.

OFFLINE ACTIVATION

If you purchased the plugin from our site, you should have received an email to download the installers and the license file. Save the license file you got with your purchase email (or via our User Area) anywhere on your computer.
Then, to activate the plugin, click on the Audiority logo and select “Register”. The Registration window will pop up allowing you to load the license file you got while purchasing the plugin by clicking the “Load License” button. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the license file on the registration window.
NOTE: If you purchased the plugin from one of our dealers, please check the “USER AREA AND REDEEM CODES” section below.

ONLINE ACTIVATION
If you are registered to our User Area, then you can activate the plugin online.

Insert your Username (or email address), your password and click the “Login” button. The license file will be automatically delivered in your computer and the plugin will be activated.

USER AREA AND REDEEM CODES

If you purchased from one of our dealers, then you should have received an email with a redeem code. This code is required to deposit a license in your User Area account and let you download the license file or activate the plugin online.
If you don’t have a User Area account yet, please follow these steps:

Go to https://www.audiority.com/register and fill out the signup form.
Once registered, log in to your account by clicking the User Area section of our site. Click the REDEEM section of your account and paste the code you received via email from our dealer.
After submitting the code, a license will be deposited in your account and will be shown in “MY PLUGINS” section of your User Area.
Now you can click “License File” and save the license anywhere on your computer and ready to be loaded through the plugin registration window. You can also skip this part and activate your plugin online (see previous section of this manual).

USER PATHS SETTING

By selecting “Settings” from the logo menu, you can change the path for Presets, License and IR folders.
You can also disable our Newsfeed from here.
Note: Please do not move the Settings folder from its default location.

Plugin Parameters

TOOLBAR
The Toolbar allows you to manage the plugin presets, register the plugin and set some global parameters.
By clicking the AUDIORITY logo, in the top left corner of the Toolbar, you’ll be able to visit our website and social profiles, register the plugin, change the interface size and customize the paths for license and preset files.
The HQ button will enable oversampling, useful to reduce aliasing when the signal saturates. Use the Randomize and Reset buttons to experiment with random presets or restore it to its saved version. Press CTRL+DOUBLE CLICK on any knob to manually assign a new value.

PARAMETERS

COLOR	Adjusts the intensity of the flanger effect
RANGE	Adjusts the lower limit of the flanger sweep
RATE	Controls the speed of the flange modulation. This is disabled when

FILTER MATRIX is enabled
FILTER MATRIX| When enabled, the modulation is disconnected from the circuit, freezing the flanger and creating a
matrix of filters. Use the RANGE knob to change the filter position and COLOR to set the depth of filtering

GLOBAL CONTROLS (Footer)

TZ| Sets Through-Zero Mode, where the dry signal is time aligned with the flanged one. It provides a different
flanger color.
---|---
SYNC| Syncs the modulation speed to the host
INPUT / OUTPUT| Pre/Post effect gain
MIX| Dry/wet signal mixer
SPREAD| Widen the stereo image by phase-shifting the right channel LFO. Won’t have any effect when the plugin is
on a mono track.

RESIZING CONTROLS (Audiority logo menu)

Small / Default / Big Size| Reduce, reset or increase the size of the plugin interface.
---|---
Resizing Corner| You can resize it from the bottom right corner of the GUI

RIGHT-CLICK OPTIONS: Each one of the knobs can be locked so it won’t change its value.
This is very useful when you load the plugin on an AUX/SEND channel. To lock a knob, simply RIGHT CLICK it and select LOCK PARAMETER.
