Set Effect

This block applies effects to all sounds played in a function. Currently there are three effects:

  • Volume: Changes the loudness of the function
  • Filter: Changes the tone of the function, making the sounds muted or muffled.
  • Delay: Adds an echo to the sounds

You can change the amounts of effects to make your track more interesting over time. For instance, it's common to use the 'filter' effect to have a beat or bass line grow or build before a big change in a song.
