Overview

Lacrima Versio features an envelope follower that controls a high-resonance filter.
Morph the filter between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass slopes, and Lacrima covers
all the sounds you’d expect from a typical wah – but this is not your typical wah. Route
an adjustable distortion pre, post, or pre+post filter for some saturation crunch. Add
width and motion (and just a little otherworldly tone) to your sounds with a stereo
chorus. Last but not least, use the Mod parameter to add audio-rate modulation and
octavizing to your signal. Cry your heart out with the Lacrima firmware, available free to
all Versio owners.

Etymology

Lacrima: from Latin for tears

Versio: from Latin for versatile

“Versatile tears”

Color code

On boot, the LV’s LEDs will shine with this color
pattern to indicate that it is running the current LV
firmware.
