Futuristic Space Reverbs
5.
Skynet
. A bright, futuristic space reverb which can create huge soundscapes. It’s a great tool for ambient music
and other atmospheric genres. The CHARACTER knob controls the smoothness of reverb reflections.
6.
Skynet-2
. A darker version of Skynet which works very well for ambient music, too. The CHARACTER knob
controls the smoothness of reverb reflections: from granular-like quality to long, smooth attacks.
7.
Mechanics
. A futuristic reverb/delay which creates ethereal soundscapes with a “mechanical” quality; echo trails
can transform into thunderous oscillation. The CHARACTER and PDL/TIME knobs control space size.
Shimmer Reverbs
8.
ShimUp-2
. Classic octave-up shimmer reverb. The CHARACTER knob controls octave volume in reverb tails.
9.
ShimUp
. Another variation of the octave-up shimmer reverb algorithm with its own sonic flavor. The CHARACTER
knob controls octave volume in reverb tails.
10.
ShimUpDown
. A shimmer reverb algorithm with an upper and lower octave added to the reflections
simultaneously. It works well for dense atmospheric sounds. The CHARACTER knob controls the volume of both
octaves in reverb tails.
11.
ShimDown
. An octave-down shimmer reverb which can add weight to the played parts. The CHARACTER knob
controls octave volume in reverb tails. Thick pad-like sounds can be achieved by tweaking the HPF and LPF
knobs.

Delays
A collection of delay algorithms with different tonal qualities. The DECAY knob controls the number of repeats. The
PDL/TIME knob and TAP footswitch set delay time. In this group of algorithms, the LPF knob works in the delay loop
and thus affects both the tone and the HOLD operation. When the LPF knob is fully CW, you get the maximum number
of repeats.
1.
Paradox
. X-FI delay. As long as the CHARACTER knob is fully CCW, this algorithm sounds like a regular delay.
Turning the CHARACTER knob clockwise progressively lowers the bitrate and increases the delay buffer. Bitrate
changes are tied to musical intervals; essentially, the CHARACTER knob acts like an instrument of its own here.
Additionally, this knob controls max delay time: when the CHARACTER knob is fully CW, max delay time is over
30 seconds. Turn the LPF and DECAY knobs fully CW to turn this algorithm into a lo-fi looper.
2.
Reverse
. This delay plays the repeats in reverse. The CHARACTER knob controls the balance between the regular
wet signal and the octave signal (which is played back at 4x speed). This way, you can get traditional reverse
delay sounds as well as musically pleasing granular delay tones with lots of high frequencies.
3.
Reverdox
. A reverb/delay algorithm in which the repeats alternate between forward and reverse playback,
creating a peculiar “seesaw” effect. The CHARACTER knob controls the attack and decay of the repeats. When
it’s fully CCW, you can clearly hear the granular nature of the effect. Turn the knob fully CW for a mellower sound.
This algorithm can also go into self-oscillation at high DECAY values.
Arpeggiators
These algorithms add randomly selected notes from a certain scale to the incoming signal. The rate is set by the
PDL/TIME knob and TAP footswitch in 16th notes (at a 4:1 ratio to the set tempo). BEAT switch values are also
accounted for, allowing you to get various time signatures such as 3/4. The CHARACTER knob controls arpeggiator
volume. The mix of the arpeggiated notes and the incoming signal then goes through a reverb.
4.
Eva Maj
. A major-scale arpeggiator which can add some upbeat character to the played parts.
5.
Eva Min
. A minor-scale arpeggiator which works great for melancholic songs.
6.
Eva Octave
. An octave arpeggiator which adds random octaves to the notes you play. It works very well with
chords and can help you achieve a fuller sound.
7.
Eva Random
. This chaotic arpeggiator adds completely random intervals to the incoming signal. If you’re scoring
a horror movie or just looking for happy accidents, this is the one for you.
