Desmodus Versio is Noise Engineering's long anticipated take on a reverb. This is a
true stereo in/stereo out or mono in/stereo out effect. Less of a room simulator and more
of a synthetic tail generator with features designed for sound design and performance,
the parameters on DV allow you to take the effect from a delay to a beautiful reverb to
an uncanny, nightmarish atmosphere in the twist of a few knobs. Not only is DV a
unique reverb, it's a stereo DSP platform. A simple USB connection will allow you to
update DV to a variety of future effects firmwares. Open-source support will be released
soon, too, which will allow you to write your own firmware!
Etymology
Desmodus -- from Latin: "vampire bat"
Versio -- from Latin: "versatile"
"Versatile Vampire"

    (receipt or invoice required). The cost of shipping to Noise Engineering is paid by the user. Modules requiring warranty repair will either be repaired or replaced at Noise Engineering's discretion. If you believe you have a product that has a defect that is out of warranty, please contact us.
  • Page 3: Input And Output Voltages

    Input and output voltages All CV inputs expect 0-5v. All pots act as offsets and sum with the input CV. The FSU gate input responds to signals above +2 V. The audio inputs clip around 16 V peak to peak. Interface Blend: Dry/wet balance control.
  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5 • JMP (Jump): Quickly changes delay line length, for audible and fast changes. Patch Tutorial First patches: For your first patch, use a simple, short sound, like a pulse, snare, or click. Patch to In L, and patch Out L and R to your mixer.
  • Page 6: Design Notes

    We announced Desmodus Versio at NAMM 2020. A few weeks later, we got the first inkling that something was amiss when the factories in China (where we get PCBs and parts) didn’t really return from the Lunar New Year holiday.

    untenable for nearly six months (but we appreciate all the emails desperate for the module!). Supply chains broke down, California (and almost everywhere else) shut down, our manufacturing came to a virtual halt, and our employees were sent to work from home sans new hardware to test, since we didn’t yet have it.
