SUMMARY
HYBRIDS Mode 1 is a variant of CROSS, which replaces the channel amplitudes with those of a second sound. Here, you can also inject some of the frequencies of Infile 2 into the output spectrum (freqbalance). Mode 2 multiplies the two spectra, with bias setting the proportion of the original added to the output.  The outfile length is approx. that of Infile 2.

MODES

 1. Impose channel amps of File2 on channel freqs of File1.
 2. Multiply spectra of File2 with that of File 1.

PARAMETERS
  [ampbalance] - Mode1: proportion of File1's amplitudes that are retained
      Range: 0-1, default 0        T-V
  [freqbalance]  - Mode1: proportion of File2 frequencies that are injected into output spectrum
      Range: 0-1, default 0        T-V
  [bias] - Mode 2: proportion of original added to output
      Range: -1 to 0 to +1 (<0 adds File1; >0 adds File2)    T-V
  [gain]
- Mode 2: Overall gain on output
      Range: 0.01 to 100          T-V
 

NOTES

Freqbalance has very little, if any, effect on the output, suggesting the program may be faulty.
In Mode 2, Bias = -1 equates to Bypass, Bias = 1 is the same as CROSS, while Bias=0 makes a new hybrid, normally a convincing vocoding effect.
