SHIMMER
Parameter
Values Description
Feedback
FEEDBACK
Input
Regen
Input+Regen
Allows selection for regeneration of the tank
Shimmer effect:
• Input - Shimmer effect is applied to the
input of the reverb core and does not
regenerate�
• Regen - Shimmer effect is applied
within the reverb core and the effect is
regenerative, resulting in continuously
ascending or descending pitches as the
reverb decays�
• Input+Regen - Both Input and Regeneration
of the Shimmer effect is applied�
Voice
VOICE
MX
Classic
Offers a choice between two different
Shimmer voicings:
• MX – Sophisticated, clean pitch-shifting
with consistent tracking across all
intervals, using state-of-the-art frequency
domain techniques�
• Classic – Lush pitch-shifting using time
domain techniques and modulated buffers
for a rich, classic sound�
Using the Shimmer Reverb...
The Amount parameter works in conjunction with the Feedback parameter to
produce the particular intensity of the shimmer effect� If the Amount is set to
minimum, no shimmer effect is heard�
For deep octave-down shifts, increase the Low End parameter to allow the
lower octave frequencies to come through strongly�
The Modulation knob modulates the shimmer voices as well as the reverb
tank’s delay line lengths with a 4-phase oscillator� Increasing the modulation
widens the shimmer experience and promotes a general sense of well-being�
Try the Feedback parameter's Input or Regenerative options for different shift
behaviors—or choose the Input + Regenerative option for the ultimate shift
experience�
Try +Oct and +Oct + 5th with lower Amount parameter levels for just a hint of
shimmer�
Try +Oct +5th and –Perfect 5th with Feedback at minimum for an other-
worldly synth-pad�
Try -10 Cents and +10 Cents with Feedback and Modulation at minimum for a
beautiful, detuned reverb�
