### Controls
- **F12 key**: Cycle through voice effects (configurable hotkey)
- **Configuration**: Your selected effect is saved in `~/.barnard.yaml`
- **Configuration**: Your selected effect is saved in `~/.barnard.toml`
### How It Works
Voice effects are applied to your outgoing audio in real-time, after noise suppression and automatic gain control. The effects use various digital signal processing techniques including delay lines, pitch shifting with cubic interpolation, and ring modulation.

- **F9 key**: Toggle noise suppression on/off (configurable hotkey)
- **Command line**: Use `--noise-suppression` flag to enable at startup
- **FIFO command**: Send `noise` command to toggle during runtime
- **Configuration**: Set `noisesuppressionenabled` and `noisesuppressionthreshold` in `~/.barnard.yaml`
- **Configuration**: Set `noisesuppressionenabled` and `noisesuppressionthreshold` in `~/.barnard.toml`
### Configuration Example
```yaml
noisesuppressionenabled: true
noisesuppressionthreshold: 0.02
```toml
noisesuppressionenabled = true
noisesuppressionthreshold = 0.02
```
The noise suppression algorithm uses a combination of high-pass filtering and noise gating to reduce unwanted background sounds while preserving voice quality.
