Oliverb: Controls (Cont.)
I. DIFFUSION (TEXTURE) The Texture knob controls how much the sound is
"smoothened" by the diffusers each time it goes through the loop. Fully clockwise, you
get the more dense, continuous sound; fully counter-clockwise, you clearly hear the
sound being repeated like in a multi-tap delay.
This creates much more synthetic, harmonic textures. CW, beyong 12, adds warping
towards higher harmonics.
J. BLEND knob. This multi-function knob is described in the Blending parameters sec-
tion.
K. Indicator LEDs. They work as an input vu-meter. When FREEZE is active, they moni-
tor the output level. Soft-clipping occurs when the last LED is on. They can also indicate
the quality setting (red), the function assigned to the BLEND knob (green), or the value
of the four blending parameters (multicolor).
Oliverb: Blend Functions
Dry/Wet
The first function of the Blend knob is dry/wet crossfading, as in the other modes.
Dampening
The second function of the Blend knob (called "stereo spread") controls the dampening
of the reverb. From fully CCW to 12 o'clock, a low-pass filter is applied, simultaing the
absorption of the room. From 12 o'clock to fully CW, a high-pass filter is applied for
unusual, crystalline effects.
Modulation speed
The third function of the Blend knob (called "feedback") controls the speed of these
LFOs. It ranges from ~1/100Hz to ~100Hz. It has no effect if modulation amount is null.
Modulation amount
Each delay in the reverb can be individually modulated by 9 smoothed random LFOs.
The fourth function of the Blend knob (called "reverb") controls the amount of modula-
tion applied by the LFOs to the delay time. Small modulations result in subtle chorus
and ghost tones, large modulations in random pitch shifts.
