Reverb Machines: Shimmer
Two tunable voices add pitch-shifted tones to the reverberated signal, for resplendent, unearthly ambience. The voices are
carefully created from the reverberated signal itself to generate maximum radiance and beauty. The Amount and Mode
parameters allow for a range of shimmer effects from laid-back and subtle to full-blown majestic splendor.
PARAMETERS:
Amount: Adjusts the level of the shifted
voices in the reverberated signal
from Off to full.
|||||||||
TIPS & TRICKS:
The Amount parameter works in conjunction with the Mode
parameter to produce the particular intensity of the shimmer
effect. If Amount is set to Off, 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 +1 Oct and Oct.5th with lower amount levels for just a hint
of shimmer.
Try Oct.5th and–P5 with ‘Input’ shimmer Mode for an other-
wordly synth-pad.
Try -10cents and +10cents with ‘Input’ shimmer Mode and
Modulation Off for a beautiful detuned reverb.

Low End: Adjusts the low frequency content of
the Shimmer reverb. Higher values
allow more low frequency content.
