A note about EV’s
parameters
EV’s parameters are very similar to the original Desmodus.
In fact, the only parameters that perform a dierent function
are Tap (formerly FSU) and L/C/R (formerly BND/LRP/
JMP). Additionally, in clocked mode, Size acts as a clock
multiplier/divider.
Interface
Blend: Dry/wet balance control. When turned fully left, the
unmodied input signal is passed through. Fully right, only
the processed signal is heard. Points in the middle give you
a mix of both.
Tone: A lter in the feedback loop. This is a bipolar control:
turning the knob to the left controls a lowpass lter, and to
the right controls a highpass lter. In the center, the lter is
disabled.
Regen: Amount of feedback. Regen controls a wide range
of tones and behaviors.
All the way to the left, feedback is minimized. As you turn up
to about 12:00, EV generates shorter, tamer tails and
delays. Past this point, the atmosphere reaches 100%
feedback, creating innite and evolving tails. Past 3:00, the tails are ducked by new
sounds at the input, creating sidechain-type eects.
Speed: The speed of the internal LFO.
Index: The amount of LFO sent to the delay lines that make up the eect. This is a
bipolar control: in the center the LFO is disabled; to the left, the LFO modulates the
delay lines randomly. To the right, the LFO modulates the delay lines with a sine wave.
Size: The delay time. When unclocked, it sets times from comb-like bursts at the left to
long, lush delays at the right. When clocked, it selects from the following clock divisions/
multiplications: 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1/1, 15/4, 3/2, 7/4, 2/1
Dense: The spacing of the delay lines. To the left, the eect sounds like a delay, to the
right the delays are smeared into reverb.
Tap: Tap tempo. Tap in your desired clock rate, or use an external clock. Holding down
this button for about two seconds exits clocked mode and returns to free-running mode.
