Decoded from a diskette of unknown origin, Lair is a transporter through when and where, retooled as a reverberation effect. Combining three bespoke reverberator devices with an expansive collection of intricate parameters and chaotic modifiers, Lair is your door to familiar, abominable, and alien worlds.
Features
- Global controls for Mix, overall Reverberation, reverberation Sparsity, and Pre-Delay
- Five bespoke reverberation modes or “Devices,” each with two unique modifiers serving as tailored special effects
- Artifact device for dark, diffuse, spring-like reverberant wash
- Volatility randomly alters the reverb time with variable Width
- Tension controls the length of The Artifact’s echoes
- Mirror device for metallic, shimmering sounds; a steel plate in purgatory
- Purity distills the reverberations to their most essential tones with adjustable frequency Focus
- Glister mixes in frantic pitched up harmonies
- Rift device for mystical echoes from other planes
- Attunement pulls haunted resonances out from the gulf with control of their harmonic Shade
- Instability dissolves the portal into abyssal entropy
- Cascade device for a cluster of echoes whose distribution can be intensely contorted
- Distribution clusters the echoes forward and back in time with Tiers determining their quantity
- Expansion increases the space between all echoes
- Swarm device for conjuring up a chaotic whirlwind of fragmented repeats
- Density determines how often a new fragment joins the swarm while Speed determines the rate at which they fly
- Lifespan establishes how long each fragment is allowed to remain in the swarm
- Parallel Device Mode allows for two devices to be used in parallel with adjustable Mix and Stereo Spread
- Drive unit including amount, mix, dry signal drive, and three flavors of distortion
- Modulation system with three waveform options for everything from subtle motion to sea-sick delirium
