values, simply modulate the pitch a little (the small controller below "time") to break up the
creation of comb artifacts resulting from static repetitions.
Complex: Usually each voice pairing functions in "PingPong" mode, i.e. the left channel is
reflected to the right and vice-versa. In "Complex" mode, the feedback & diffusion
parameters are combined, which produces a quite chaotic sound. In "Complex" mode,
each one of the eight possible voices affects every other one, i.e. echo repetitions ensure
that diffusion is even faster. In this case, the maximum number of voices make drastic
spatial sounds possible. For this reason, CORVEX even manages to eclipse some
specialized reverb effects...
After this overview of the main parameters, we still need to explain the other small
controllers on the lower row.
As mentioned above, this involves an intensity setting for the modulation depth: each of
these faders specifies how much LFO affects the relevant parameter above it.
The following applies:
The envelope of the LFO affects the "time" parameter directly, meaning that activation of
the round LED in the modulation section results in increased delay times.
The LFO also affects all other parameters to the right directly. To the left, the inverse
value of the modulation envelope is taken. For example, if you have selected "sine" as
the waveform, the inverse curve shape will correspond to a sine wave which is mirrored
along the X-axis. In practice, this results in a temporal modulation shift of exactly half of
one period length.
Basically, the modulation values combine with the settings of the main controller. For
example, to get a rhythmic stereo width introduction, set the stereo width control to 0%.
Switch on "sync", adjust the "speed" to "1/4", and set the small fader for the modulation
target (stereo width) to the right. This opens the stereo picture to maximum every fourth
note. Now turn the small controller below "stereo width" to the left: the stereo picture now
plays on the off beats. This is where the inverse envelope is effective and the mentioned
temporal shift is kept intact.
Use the exact same method to modify the other modulation targets and get sounds out of
CORVEX that a normal chorus or flanger wouldn't be capable of. We've created a few
presets that use heavy modulation to quickly get things cooking...
