This control adds some creative comb-like effect. * algorithm settings: [ auto ] enables automatic cd skipping. [ dropout ] enables adding silence. Use both [auto] and [dropout] with zero feedback value (in the centre of touch control) to achieve the effect of a CD audio glitch * [ bypass ] control and volume control. This slider is in low value state by default.
