DELAY AND HARMONICS CONTROLS
HARMONICS
SHIMMER: Adds pitch shifting to the reverberated signal. Effect is off when
SHIMMER
knob is fully counterclockwise.
REGEN: Selects regenerative shimmer which applies the pitch shifting
within the reverb structure (
REGEN
LED
GREEN
) or input shimmer which
applies the pitch shifting at the input before the reverb structure (
REGEN
LED off).
SHIMMER INTERVAL: Secondary function on the
SHIMMER
knob to select
the interval of the pitch shifting effect.
To select the SHIMMER INTERVAL:
Turn the
SHIMMER
knob while holding
down the
REGEN
button.
Provides two octaves of total range from -1 octave at minimum to +1 octave
at maximum. Two additional interval options (-detune and +detune) are
available around the 12 o’clock position of the
SHIMMER
knob.
GLIMMER: Dynamically enhances aspects of the input signal’s harmonic
spectrum. Effect is off when
GLIMMER
knob is fully counterclockwise.
HIGH BAND: Selects between the high band (
HIGH BAND
LED
GREEN
) or
low band (
HIGH BAND
LED off) harmonics to be enhanced by the glimmer
effect.
DELAY/KARPLUS
FEEDBACK: Applies regeneration to the delay, resulting in more repeats with
longer delays, or more resonance with shorter delays. When in Karplus-
Strong mode,
FEEDBACK
affects string decay and structure resonance.
ECHO ON: Busses the delay output to the
WET
output to mix with the reverb
signal. For a ‘delay only’ experience, set
DECAY
to minimum.
DELAY/TUNE: In delay mode, applies pre-delay from 0 to 1.5 seconds max.
Control is log taper for finer resolution at lower
DELAY/TUNE
settings.
When
TAP/TRIG
clock CV input is detected,
DELAY/TUNE
knob acts as a clock
mult/div with the following ratios around the knob (min to max):
• 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1/1, 3/2, 5/3, 7/4, 2/1, 5/2
• Max delay time is 7.5s (3s clock input with 5/2 multiplier)
TAP: Allows the delay time to be set by tapping in a tempo.
See
KARPLUS-STRONG CONTROLS
for additional functions of the
DELAY/
KARPLUS
section.
NOTE: When the echo is off and the feedback is at minimum, the
DELAY/TUNE
knob functions as a traditional pre-delay, adjusting the
time between the
DRY
signal and the onset of the reverb. Turning the
knob counterclockwise = shorter, clockwise = longer.
