Parameter Reference
CHAKRABOOST exposes 4 global parameters, 22 per band (across 8 bands), and 3 global surround controls. Every parameter is fully automatable from your DAW.
Global Parameters
| Parameter | ID | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Input Gain | inputGain | −24 to +24 dB | 0 dB | Level adjustment before the crossover filter bank |
| Output Gain | outputGain | −24 to +24 dB | 0 dB | Level adjustment after all band processing and recombination |
| Dry/Wet | dryWet | 0–100% | 100% | Blend between unprocessed input and fully processed output |
| Bypass | bypass | On/Off | Off | Pass audio through unprocessed (all bands bypassed) |
Per-Band Parameters
Each of the 8 bands exposes 22 parameters, organized into five groups. Parameter IDs are prefixed with bandN_ where N is the band index (0–7).
Phaser
| Parameter | ID Suffix | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Depth | depth | 0.0–1.0 | 0.5 | Phaser modulation depth — how far the all-pass frequency sweeps |
| Feedback | feedback | 0.0–0.95 | 0.3 | Phaser feedback amount — higher values create more resonant peaks |
| Mix | mix | 0–100% | 50% | Blend between dry band signal and phased signal |
| Rate | rate | 0.01–20.0 Hz | 1.0 Hz | LFO speed for phaser modulation |
LFO
| Parameter | ID Suffix | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| LFO Mode | lfoMode | Sine / Triangle / Saw / Reverse Saw / Square / Random / Neural | Sine | Modulation waveform shape |
| Neural Rhythm | neuralRhythm | 0.0–1.0 | 0.5 | Rhythmic character of Neural mode |
| Neural Articulation | neuralArticulation | 0.0–1.0 | 0.5 | Attack shape of Neural mode |
| Neural Depth | neuralDepth | 0.0–1.0 | 0.5 | Modulation intensity of Neural mode |
| Neural Temperature | neuralTemperature | 0.0–1.0 | 0.5 | Randomness/variation in Neural mode |
Spatial
| Parameter | ID Suffix | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Pan | pan | −1.0 to +1.0 | 0.0 | Static horizontal pan position (L/R) |
| Pan Depth | panDepth | 0.0–1.0 | 0.0 | LFO-driven horizontal pan modulation depth |
| Pan Y | panY | −1.0 to +1.0 | 0.0 | Static front/back position (surround modes only) |
| Pan Depth Y | panDepthY | 0.0–1.0 | 0.0 | LFO-driven front/back pan modulation depth (surround modes only) |
| Orbit Angle | orbitAngle | 0–360° | 0° | Phase offset for spatial LFO orbit |
Compression
| Parameter | ID Suffix | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Threshold | compThreshold | −60 to 0 dB | −20 dB | Level above which compression engages |
| Ratio | compRatio | 1:1–20:1 | 4:1 | Compression ratio above threshold |
| Attack | compAttack | 0.1–100 ms | 10 ms | Base attack time (modulated by crest-factor analysis) |
| Release | compRelease | 10–1000 ms | 100 ms | Base release time (modulated by crest-factor analysis) |
| Comp Mix | compMix | 0–100% | 100% | Parallel compression blend — 0% is dry only, 100% is fully compressed |
Utility
| Parameter | ID Suffix | Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Gain | gain | −24 to +24 dB | 0 dB | Post-crossover band level |
| Solo | solo | On/Off | Off | Isolate this band |
| Mute | mute | On/Off | Off | Silence this band |
Global Surround Parameters
| Parameter | ID | Options/Range | Default | Description |
|---|
| Speaker Layout | speakerLayout | Stereo / Quad / 5.1 / 7.1 | Stereo | Output channel configuration |
| LFE Channel | lfeChannel | None / Ch 1–8 | None | Route a specific band to the LFE (subwoofer) channel |
| LFE Level | lfeLevel | 0.0–1.0 | 0.7 | Level of the LFE channel send |
The Neural LFO parameters (neuralRhythm, neuralArticulation, neuralDepth, neuralTemperature) only affect modulation when lfoMode is set to Neural. In all other LFO modes, these parameters are ignored.
