The “Red” modulator lets you adjust the dampening of the delay, making the repeats either brighter (emulating towards a tape or HIFI sound) or darker (emulating like an analog delay).
- Page 11 Reverb Reverb Modes Hall - The least diffused of the reverb modes “Hall” allows you hear the reflective nature of the hallway your sound is in. Plate - Emulating a classic plate reverb sound that is diffuse and reflective. Chasm - An exploration into reverb design feedback networks that can allow for unnaturally large decay lengths.
- Page 12 Filter Filter - The resonant low-pass filter (LPF) is an essential tool for shaping audio by removing high frequencies while emphasizing a selected cutoff frequency, adding character and warmth to the sound. The "resonance" control enhances frequencies around the cutoff point, creating a peak that brings out rich, expressive tones and adds depth to the audio.
