Features.
Unique '2D Mode' Spectral-Spatial freehand audio signature editing functionality providing
arbitrary manipulation of any part of a stereo mix. (Elevayta proprietary).
Up to twice the audio resolution compared to Extra Boy.
High quality isolation, removal, suppression or enhancement of ANY part of a stereo
audio track!
Vertical scrolling high resolution Spectral-Spatial display.
Up to 200 independent Regions-of-Interest (ROI) can be selected or deleted.
Provides incredible flexibility for fine tuning. Isolate or Remove ROIs at the touch of a
button.
Boost or suppress individual instruments using a single slider.
User configurable startup mode and latency (depending on maximum desired quality).
Five audio quality modes 'Lowest', 'Low', 'Medium', 'High', 'Highest'.
Selectable in real-time with full scaling of ROIs. Plan on low quality and fine tune at higher
quality!
Multi-resolution ROI planning with ROIs retained between sessions and presets.
Scrolling multi-resolution Spectrograph display with feature mapping tool for crosscorrelation of features within the Spectral-Spatial display.
Flexible control of Spectral-Spatial display modes.
Full PDC Compensation (in compatible hosts).
This brief guide is intended to provide some further insight into the usage and options
available in Extra Boy Pro.

The parameters.
Low Cut
Determines the Lower cut-off frequency below which the Extra Boy
Pro processing is not applied.
High Cut
Determines the Upper cut-off frequency above which the Extra Boy
Pro processing is not applied.
Note: Extra Boy Pro processing takes place on the frequencies
between the Low Cut and High Cut frequencies.
Spread
Extra Mix
Humidity
Stereolize
Spreadilate
Enables a processing step which limits the Extra Boy Pro processing
to stereo signal within a spatial range determined using the Spread
slider. Another unique technology to Extra Boy Pro and key to its
superior performance in vocal/instrument isolation.

Figure 2 The Extra 2D page.
The 2D display indicates the signal amplitude as a function of spatial (pan) position
(horizontal) and frequency (vertical). This is referred to as the Spectral-Spatial display. The full
frequency range from 0 to > 20 kHz can be examined by scrolling the vertical slider at the
right hand side of the display. When 2D Mode is activated it becomes possible to draw ROIs
on the 2D display using the mouse.
Note: Clicking the Left mouse button while dragging causes an ROI to be drawn. Clicking in
an ROI with the Right mouse button removes it and its associated processing. Clicking in the
overlap between ROIs, with the right mouse button, causes both ROIs to be deleted.
Clicking the ROI Count box causes all ROIs, and their combined effect, to be deleted.

The parameters.
2D Mode
ROI Off
When activated, ROIs that have been drawn will be removed from the
2D display. Audio processing continues but the ROI display is
suppressed. This is useful when the display becomes cluttered with
too many ROIs.
Gain Slider
In the default Off position, the Gain Slider has no effect on the 2D
processing and the signal within all ROIs is suppressed. Increasing
the Gain Slider allows for scaling of the signals contained within the
ROIs. Scaling goes from 90 dB to +20 dB. Thus, it is possible to
finely control (reduce or boost) the amplitude of individual regions of
audio signal (specified by the ROIs) that correspond to specific
instruments. Note: Click on the display box below the slider to reset.

Moving ROIs.
An ROI can be moved by (left) clicking on its edge with the cursor crosshair and dragging the
ROI to a new position while the mouse button is held down.
Figure 5a Moving an ROI. Select with mouse and drag to new position.
Deleting ROIs.
An ROI, or group of ROIs can be deleted by placing the mouse cursor inside them and clicking
the right mouse button. Alternatively, to delete al ROIs in one go, click on the ROI Count
display at the top of the window.

This is similar to Vocal Out Mode 1 except that the frequency filter is performed over the
whole audio spectrum rather than just the region occupied by vocals.

FAQs.
1) Why is there such a long latency when using Extra Boy Pro in a host that doesnt support
PDC?
A: Extra Boy Pro uses sophisticated processing that cannot be performed without some
latency. In a PDC compliant host, this is not a problem.
2) Stereolize, Spreadilate whats that?
A: These are names for specific processing functions that are absolutely unique to
Extra Boy Pro. These processing steps are considered proprietary to Elevayta and will
not be disclosed.
