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

- 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

- 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

- Drive unit including amount, mix, dry signal drive, and three flavors of distortion
