Instrument Effects is currently a beta feature. Please report any issues you run into to the team through the support widget in the bottom right corner.
Now you can add effects to your instrument tracks. Currently we have 11 effects for you to use. You can add multiple effects to the same instrument tracks and use keyframes to control their behaviour. Read on to learn more.
How to add an instrument effect
Instrument effect controls are available from each instrument track you add to the sequencer. Add some loops and click the +Fx button.
This will open up the instrument effect panel, which shows all effects applied to that track and their configurations. Click the "add effect" button to pick and add an effect.
How to remove an instrument effect
You can remove effects in two ways: directly from the timeline, and from the effects property panel.
Removing from the timeline
Click the +Fx button to view all effects applied to that track.
Click the bin icon to delete the effect you wish to delete.
You can also turn an effect off by clicking the power icon.
Removing from effect property panel
Alternatively, after clicking the +Fx button to view the applied instrument effects...
Refer to the effects panel on the right side of the screen.
Click the cross icon next to the effect you want to remove.
How to configure effects with keyframes
Effects are applied at 100% intensity to the entire instrument track by default, but you can customize this using keyframes. Keyframse are diamond shaped icons that act as checkpoints for your effect.
You can add multiple keyframes to each track and set a different intensity for each. Overtune will automatically increase or decrease the intensity between keyframes for you.
Example
You add a keyframe for the muffled effect in the first bar. You set the intensity at 100 in bar 3. Overtune make sure that the effect gradually increases between keyframes.

Keyframes are a tool that give you a more precise control over the behaviour of the instrument effects you apply to a track. By setting keyframes at different points in your timeline, you can define how the intensity of the effect develops over time.
