What is the Ether? A dark, cavernous void. Eerie, shimmering reflections. Temporal shifts twisting your thoughts, echoes fading in and out of reality, frequencies intertwined phasing across one another... yet in all this madness there is nothing but sonic bliss. Endless creativity. Welcome to the world of Ether. A compact modulated reverberator delivering vast ambient and shimmering soundscapes with endless tails, further manipulated by tap tempo vibrato, tremolo and harmonic tremolo effects.
What do the knobs do? Speed: Changes the speed of the modulation LFO. Turn this CCW for slower rates and CW for faster rates. Depth: This center detent knob offers 3 different LFO waveforms. In the center position you have a special fixed waveform for each of the modulation types - Quasi Random for Vibrato, Square for Tremolo and Flutter Triangle for Harmonic Tremolo. Turning CW from center adjusts the depth of the sine wave LFO, turning CCW from center adjusts the depth of the sawtooth LFO.
What do the switches do? MOD/SHIMMER: This momentary switch selects the modulation type and voice of the reverb. Clicking to the left will cycle between Vibrato, Tremolo and Harmonic Tremolo modulation modes. Clicking to the right will either turn on or off the Shimmer reverb setting. This also allows you to select trails and ramp direction without having to touch the dipswitches inside.
What about dip switches and power? Internal Dip Switch: These 2 switches set the default bypass and ramp direction when the Ether powers up. These features can also be changed using the footswitches and MOD/SHIMMER switch. Dip 1: This switch sets the direction of the Ramp function. Set to ON, the LFO ramps down, slowing the modulation. Set off, it ramps up, speeding up the modulation. DIP 2: This switch sets the bypass. Set ON, the Ether is in trails mode with buffered bypass.
