The Algorithms

Tremble

adds amplitude modulation (tremolo) to the reverb. Only the reverberated signal is
affected, while the direct signal remains intact. The result is a very interesting
pulsating ambience that injects rhythm to the standard reverb sound.

Voices

adds a pitch-shifted secondary voice on top of the late reverberation. There are
three interval choices :

Unison

(no shift),

Perfect Fifth

(7 semitones), and

Octave

(12 semitones). The

Intensity

knob is partitioned into 3 regions, each region repre-

sents a distict voice.
