PULVERISER
898
Introduction
Pulveriser is a very versatile stereo in/out compression+distortion+filter device, capable of mangling any sound liter-
ally beyond recognition, but also capable of producing more subtle musical effects. Pulveriser features a wonderful
compressor, coupled with a nice warm distortion, plus a multi-mode filter. The different sections of Pulveriser can be
modulated by an LFO and by an Envelope Follower to allow for really organic modulation effects. Pulveriser also fea-
tures a Dry/Wet mix control so you can utilize parallel processing in the unit itself, i.e. mix in the processed signal in
parallel with the dry signal - great for parallel compression of drum loops etc.
About the Patch format
Pulveriser features programmable effect presets. Included are a number of factory Patches which can be used as
they are or provide you with a good starting point for further tweaking.
Patches use the file extension “*.pulver”. Loading and saving Patches is done in the same way as for instrument de-
vices.
Parameters
Pulveriser contains three main effect sections; Squash (compression), Dirt (distortion) and Filter (multi-mode filter
with cutoff and resonance controls). In addition, Pulveriser features two modulation sections - an LFO with selectable
waveforms and an Envelope Follower which can modulate the effect sections. The parameters in each section are as
follows:
Common effect device parameters
While the specific parameters for the Pulveriser effect device are described below, some features and procedures
are common to all effect devices. Please, refer to “Common effect device features” for information about the Bypass/
On/Off switch.
Note, however, that the Input Meter is different on the Pulveriser device. Instead of the standard multi-segment LED
indicator found in other Reason effect devices, Pulveriser features a red lamp which reflects the intensity of the input
signal.
