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.

Page 3: Input And Output Voltages
Interface Blend: Dry/wet balance control. When turned fully left, the unmodified input signal is passed through. Fully right, only the processed signal is heard. Points in the middle give you a mix of both. Chorus amount is not affected by blend. Sat: Saturation amount.
Page 4 Try changing the frequency of the filter and the envelope amount to tune your sounds to the rest of your patch. Change the Sat level and the top switch to change how harsh or gentle the resulting tones are. Find more patches in the upcoming Lacrima Versio patchbook.

Viol Ruina (which has a similar structure) to round it off. Lacrima Versio is a rare product that surprised even us when it was done. Stephen and Kris both are head over heels for this one. If you love dynamics, give Lacrima Versio a try.
