Ionosphere Reverb - Kemper Profiler Main Manual

Ionosphere Reverb

The Ionosphere Reverb is based on the
reverbs, it builds on the concept and takes into brand new territory. Two crystal pitch shifters are embedded into the
reverb, allowing you to create effects more akin to orchestral strings and synth-like sounds.
In contrast to regular shimmer reverbs, the Ionosphere Reverb comprises an advanced signal structure that allows
for pitch buildup settings independent of the reverb time setting. This allows you to create gentle buildups, or even
steady pitch shifts, with long reverb times that don't build up.

•Pitch Mix
Mixes the unpitched original input signal with the two pitched versions. At zero, the pitch shifters are dialed out — the
Reverb will sound identical to the Cirrus Reverb or Formant Reverb. With Pitch Mix dialed fully right, the unpitched
part of the reverb is left out, leaving only the pitched signals.

•Pitch 1&2
Sets the pitch offset of the two crystal pitch shifters, independently, in semitones. A typical setting would be 12
semitones (one octave). If you do not want two separate pitch offsets, then set both pitches to the same value.

•Pitch Buildup
"Buildup" is a feedback control in the reverb that feeds back the signal output of the two crystal pitch shifters back to
their input. This is quite similar to the feedback control in the Crystal Delays. At zero, you will only hear the pitches
determined by Pitch 1&2. With increasing values, the pitches will build in an upward or downward spiral, or both, if
you choose both a positive and negative pitch offset.
The rate of the buildup is influenced by the Attack Time control, which also controls the onset speed of the reverb, as
described above for the Cirrus Reverb.
