Interface (cont.)

Size:

The delay time of the reverb.

A good way to hear Size is with a percussive input and all
other parameters at 12 o’clock.

Dense:

The spacing of the delay lines. To the left, the effect

sounds more like a delay; to the right, the delays are
smeared into reverb.

A good way to hear Dense is with a percussive input, Size
fully clockwise, and all other parameters at 12 o’clock.

FSU:

This control maxes out the Regen control and mutes

the input to the reverb when the button is pressed, or when
a high gate is sent to its input.

A good way to hear this button’s effect is with Blend above
12 o’clock and a low Regen value.

In L/In R:

Audio input. If R is not patched, the signal from L

is normaled to both inputs.

Out L/Out R:

Stereo output pair.

LIM/DST/SHM:

Reverb style.

LIM (Limit):

A clean reverb, using limiting within the reverb tank to contain feedback.

A good way to hear LIM is with moderate Regen values and starting with all other
parameters at 12 o’clock, then playing with Tone and Index/Speed.

DST (Distort):

Similar to LIM, but instead of limiting within the reverb tank, slight

saturation is applied for a more distorted sound. A good way to hear DST is with high
Regen values and starting with all other parameters at 12 o’clock, then adjusting
Size and Tone to taste.

SHM (Shimmer):

A demonic pitch-shifting algorithm. Adds a one octave pitch shift

that feeds back into the input. A good way to hear SHM is with high Regen values,
and all other parameters at 12 o’clock. Create haunting effects by introducing subtle
modulation with Speed and Index.

BND/LRP/JMP:

Changes how the delay lines respond when the panel controls are

modulated. To hear each mode clearly, turn Regen fully clockwise and modulate the
Size parameter.

BND (Blend):

Crossfades the delay times for smoother changes.

LRP (Interpolate):

Slowly changes delay line length, has audible pitch shift effects

due to the delay lines changing length.
