Sound Editor 

Upon clicking the wrench icon in the Connections section, the Ventris 

Dual Reverb’s Sound Editor 

interface appears in a tab in the center field. This is where all of the sound editing work takes place.  

The Sound Editor is broken into several sub-sections, each containing a unique variation of virtual 
knobs and dropdown menus. The following is a brief explanation of each Sound Editor sub-section. 

 

 

Dual/Single Mode 

This dropdown menu essentially selects the virtual position of the A/B Toggle switch on the Ventris 
Dual Reverb. Select whether you want to edit Reverb A, Reverb B, or Reverb A + B. In addition you 
can select between a Parallel or Cascade signal path for Reverb A + B.
