    Getting started: patch the signal to be processed into the signal in (1a). The associated level control (1b) accommodates modular synthesizer signals of 10vpp with unity gain at around 3 o' clock. Beyond 3 o' clock on the level control, there will be some gain and possibly clipping followed by digit...

    Predelay (cont’d) in addition to being wide ranging and completely independent of the size parameter, the erbe-verb pre-delay is also able to be synchronized to the rest of the modular system. Using the tempo in (12a), it may be synced to a division (cw from noon) or multiple (ccw from noon) of the ...

    Internal modulation (speed and depth) decay is also greatly influenced by the speed (5a, 5c) and depth (6a, 6b, 6c) settings since the internal modulation has the potential to take energy away from the reverb process, which results in decreasing settle times. For example setting depth and speed to a...

    Absorb (cont’d) diffusion: diffusion controls the degree to which initial reverb density increases over time. High amounts of diffusion result in fast initial buildup of echo density; low amounts cause slow initial buildup. Diffusion is also affected by size — smaller spaces will sound denser becaus...

    Emulating typical reverb rooms : note: for all algorithms, size, predelay and decay settings are given. Small variances in these three controls will alter the room. Set speed and depth to 12:00, and absorb full ccw, unless otherwise noted, then set tilt to taste to fit the sound into the mix. Keep i...

    Patch ideas: gated reverb: set all controls to taste, using one of the above "typical" settings if desired. Mult audio source to erbe-verb signal in, and to ch1 or ch4 signal input of maths, or to the signal input on function. Set rise to 12:00, fall full ccw, response to linear. Take unity/positive...
