▪ SHUFFLE: Selects different phase patterns for recurring phaser cycles.

Waterbed

Special filter that simulates slowly moving waves on a water surface and uses the surface
shape as a filter curve. The result sounds like a phaser with an 'organic' character.

FREQ: Position on the frequency axis (semitones) where the water surface is excited into
▪
motion.
▪ LEVEL: Excitation level (dB). Changing it brings the surface in motion.
▪ DECAY: Decay time of the waves due to friction loss.
▪ SPEED: Speed of the waves along the surface.
LIMIT: Upper amplitude limit (dB) for the moving waves to prevent unpleasant loud am­
▪
plitudes.
▪ LO: Low Reflection. It sets the reflection type of the lower boundary of the water sur­
face. '+' results in a positive reflection keeping the 'sign' of the wave. In other words a
wave maxima stays a wave maxima after reflection. '-' results in a negative reflection,
toggling the 'sign' of the wave. A wave maxima becomes a wave minima after reflec­
tion.
▪ HI: High Reflection. It sets the reflection type of the higher boundary of the water sur­
face. '+' results in a positive reflection keeping the 'sign' of the wave. In other words a
wave maxima stays a wave maxima after reflection. '-' results in a negative reflection,
toggling the 'sign' of the wave. A wave maxima becomes a wave minima after reflec­
tion.
