Cyan Bank
Use TAP + MODE to switch to this bank.
The ON LED glows cyan.
MODE
switch position:
●
UP:
STATIC
This electrified patch features ring modulation in the reverb, the mod sections, and LFO2. The effect is
particularly pronounced at higher REVERB knob values. The post-reverb filters have mild settings which allow
reverb tails to stay audible after the filters are closed; this works great in all modes, including the EX mode
(virtual expression pedal). The name “STATIC” is not only a nod to electricity but also a hint that the algorithm
sounds really nice even with no filter mod (with the RATE knob fully CCW).
●
MIDDLE:
Dawn at the mirror lake
This sound is reminiscent of points of light dancing on the water on a warm summer day. The movement of
resonant filters is intertwined with the warm reverb texture. Combined with a somewhat unpredictable LFO
shape, the bright filters create complex patterns with airy, flanger-like modulation. The reverb adds to the “crystal
clear” sound, which is gradually moving across the stereo field. The algorithm’s pronounced character can be
tamed via the BASE and DEPTH settings.
●
DOWN:
Broken Tape Reverb
A slow descent into eternity, which has somehow been recorded on an old VHS tape. This peculiar sonic
character stems from a combination of unorthodox techniques, such as out-of-phase filters and deep reverb
modulation. The pitch shifting section creates a sort of “echo” with characteristic artifacts. Finally, LFO3 in
stepped random mode imitates a broken tape mechanism with different settings for each of the two channels.
Favorite
Preset
In order to store the current settings into a Favorite preset, press and hold the TAP footswitch and the ON footswitch
simultaneously for 3 seconds. The preset will be recorded into the pedal’s internal memory, and the ON LED will light
up in green.
To recall or exit the Favorite preset, briefly press the ON footswitch twice. If the ON LED is glowing green, the Favorite
preset is active. If the Favorite preset has been recalled but the pedal is bypassed, the ON LED lights up briefly: this
provides visual feedback regarding the settings which the pedal will employ when engaged.
When a Favorite preset is active, controls on the pedal have no effect until you turn/switch them. When a control
setting has been changed, the ON LED flashes briefly to indicate that the new settings haven’t been saved yet. To
save the changes, press and hold the TAP and ON switches simultaneously for 3 seconds. If you exit the altered
Favorite preset without saving, the changes you made won’t be recalled the next time you activate the Favorite
preset.
When the Favorite preset is active, there is no bank indication. All settings (including bypass settings, global mode and
modulation rate) are saved in the Favorite preset.
You can turn off the Favorite function or remap it to the EXT.TAP input through the config file. Read more about Favorite
preset settings on the Prism II Support Page.
Detune Mode
(Gradual Signal Detuning)
The Detune Mode only affects the pitch shifting section. If the pitch shifting section isn’t engaged in the patch, the
Detune Mode has no effect.
To enter Detune mode, press and hold the
ON/HOLD
footswitch for at least 0.3 seconds. The gradual signal detuning
will manifest differently depending on the patch. The more transposed signal the patch employs, the more
pronounced the detuning will be.
The
DETUNE
knob (ALT+RATE) controls the depth of the detuning effect.
