OVERVIEW
Welcome to CAGE the most comprehensive collection of
Orchestral Effects ever done.
CAGE (Custom Aleatoric Group Effects) is produced by
Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning
composer Troels Folmann and Emmy nominated
composer and orchestrator, Colin OMalley. CAGE comes
in three dedicated volumes,Strings, Brass and Woodwinds
with each volume containing up to 9 microphone
positions. The microphones are divided into two core
groups: Ensemble (Close, Mixed, Decca, Far, Wide) and
Divisi (Spot Mic 1, 2, 3). So whether you want full e n semble or more chamber (divisi) oriented FX its all available, right at your finger tips.

ARTICULATIONS
The Articulations page has a very simple layout,
consisting of a few but crucial controls. The most
important of which is the articulation window.
This allows you to select what articulation is
currently playable.

CHAOS
The Chaos icon will randomise all enabled effects and paramters with a given range, this range can be
adjusted on a per effect level under each settings panel on the effects page. This is CAGE at its finest.
You can create complete chaos and design a brand new effect by the touch of a button (note: this will
randomise parameters which are enabled)
RESET
The Reset icon will reset any active effects and paramters to there factory default. This is a great tool
to use if you simply want to get back to the beginning and start from a fresh. (note: this will only reset
parameters which are enabled)
STACKING
The Stacking icon allows you to stack articulations ontop of one another. When bypassed
selecting a new articulation will automatically switch off the previous one. Whereas when stacking is
enabled, selecting a new articulation will simply layer the new over the old allowing you to biuld more
dense and complex textures. When enabled the Chaos feature will also randomise what articulations
are layered with one another, as well as there relative parameters.

SEQUENCER
When open, the sequencer allows you to pre determine the order of your articulation changes. This
is great for chaining sequences together without having to play them in live. Simply select what
articulations you want in the sequence by clicking there labels. By using the arrow icons or by playing
your MIDI controller you can progress to the following sequence slot. You can even save and recall up
to 4 seperate chains.

MIXER
The Mixer page has a very familar layout,
containing controls that allow you to alter the
volume / pan / solo / mute for each microphone
position. To adjust the output routing, simply click
on the name of the desired microphone position
and select an output from the dropdown menu.

KEY CONTROL allows you to change the VOLUME, PAN, FINE & COURSE TUNE of every single sample. Simply play the
sample via your MIDI controller and adjust the parameters. STRETCH takes the last played sample and chromatically maps it
accross the keybed, allowing you to tonally play any desired sound. The CHAOS control randmises all the available parameters
dependant on the included settings.
The Settings page consists of several basic parameters, ON NOTE will randomise the activated parameters upon every new
note played, RANGE alters the amount of available randomisation, and the 3 activation buttons allow you to choose what
parameters will be included and adjusted under randomisation features such as CHAOS.
CAGEBRASS
18
MACRO allows you to save 2 presets, and flawlessly morph between them. Set any effect to the desired sound and then press
START, move the controls to a different position and press END. Now the MACRO dial will be able to morph between them. To
automate the MACRO dial select MOTION, this will enable the sequencer available on the SEQ page allowing you to sequence
the movement in anyway you wish. RATE adjusts the speed of the sequence but it will remain synced to your host tempo
throughout. (note: not all parameters are available to be controlled by the macro)
The Settings page consists of several basic parameters, RANDOM will randomise the Sequencer, STEPS will adjust the available
amount of steps in the Sequencer and ON NOTE will restart the sequence upon every new note played.
CAGEBRASS

FILTER controls an independant LOW PASS [CC74] and HIGH PASS [CC75] filter. These smooth filters can be directly
controlled by the interface, or by the included ADSR envelope [CCs 76-79]. VINTAGE enables a subtle phaser affect which is
great for adding a thin resonant level of air on top of the filter. You can even automate the filter with the included sequencer,
located on the SEQ page. And Of course, you can hit CHAOS in order to randmise every relavant parameter.
The Settings page consists of the Envelope buttons which allow you to choose which filter type is controlled by the envelope,
and the Sequencer buttons which allow you to choose which filter is type is controlled by the sequencer.
We also included RATE which adjusts the speed of the sequence remaining synced to your host tempo. STEPS which adjusts
the available amount of steps in the Sequencer and ON NOTE which will restart the sequence upon every new note played.

EQ controls an 3 band Equaliser, we have included a handful of useful presets to help you in scullpting your sound. We also
have included a CHAOS control, this allows you to randmise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and
interesting sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly
randomises and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION
and CHAOS. And the CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randmisation available. CHAOS is purely random based
on a value below your current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending
on your RANGE allowing you to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.

DEGRADER consists of a BIT CRUSHER and a DISTORTION unit. Of course we also have included a CHAOS control, which
allows you to randmise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly
randomises and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION
and CHAOS. And the CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randmisation available. CHAOS is purely random based
on a value below your current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending
on your RANGE allowing you to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.

22
TRANCE GATE consists of a gate sequencer which allows you to stutter any sound. The RATE control alters the speed of the
gate which remains tempo synced to your host. The STEPS control alters the amount of available steps. And the MIX parameter
controls the amount strength of the gate. The CHAOS control allows you to randomise the gate.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the gate. Such as MOTION, which randomises the gate at the
end of each sequence, and ON NOTE which will restart the sequence upon every new note played.
CAGEBRASS
23
DELAY consists of 2 sequential delays, this allows you to build complex rhythms and sequences by simply using different time
values. Each delay has a wet MIX parameter, a tempo synced TIME control, and FEEDBACK and PAN controls to help control the
style and poer of the delay. We also went a step further, and added a a LOW and HIGH PASS filter to the end of the chain, this
allows you to filter out certain frequencies only in the feedback of the delay ensuring it doesnt conflict with your main sound.
And, you guessed it, we included a CHAOS control, so you are able to randomise every relevant parameter, creating some truly
amazing delay patterns. Both delays and the filters also work intelligently, meaning if you are not using them or they are set to
a minimal value, they will bypass themselves in order to save your CPU load.
CAGEBRASS
TRANSFORM contains a powerful impulse convolution with some truly strange and wonderful presets. To change what
24
convolution is loaded, simply select the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our hand designed impulse responses. From
fog horns, to car crashes, engine revs to world ending drones, we have included a handful of our favourite custom recorded
and designed presets. If you are feeling indesisive, you can also select the CHAOS control, which will randomly assign a preset
for you, as well as alter the available controls for some truly esoteric results. The included controls can help you further shape
the convolution, such as MIX which alters the wet value of the insert, SIZE which stretches or compresses the impulse,
PRE-DELAY which adds a small delay before the impulse is triggered, and of course a HIGH and LOW PASS FILTER, which
allows you to shape the frequency of the impulse convolution layer.
CAGEBRASS
REVERB contains a powerful convolution reverb partnered with a digital reverb. To change what convolution is loaded,
25
simply select the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our custom recorded impulse responses. We have included a
variety, of real acoustic spaces we use and love, such as recording studios, churches, cathedrals and halls. As well as a few not
so acoustic spaces we equally love. We have also crafted a quick and useful room positioner tool, by clicking anywhere in the
ROOM area you can access a variety of crafted presets which load custom settings ontop of your chosen convolution reverb.
This is a great tool for quickly placing your sound in designed space. Or of course you can select the CHAOS control and let the
engine do the choosing for you.
The included controls are similar as to the TRANSFORM module except REVERB has a digital counterpart. This can be bypassed
by using the DIGITAL ON/OFF switch.
