The Band Effect splits the audio signal into two or three frequency bands. Each band can have its own effects. After effects processing, the bands are mixed, and the Volume knobs control their levels.

The bands are split using first-order filters.

Vocal Removal

The Vocal Removal preset is a vocal remover built using a Band Effect. The Mid Band includes a Stereo Effect with a Phase Inverter to remove the sound at the center of the stereo image. As a result, the mid frequencies at the center of the stereo image are removed. The Bass/Mid and Mid/Treble knobs can be adjusted to retain as much bass and treble as possible while still reducing the vocals sufficiently. Vocal Removal only works well if the audio signal is stereo, the vocals are panned to the center, and there is not an excessive amount of stereo reverb on the vocals.
