Modulation

The Modulation parameter is a standout feature, offering a sophisticated chorus effect. It controls a Dual-Engine setup, each consisting of an 8-voice Advanced Chorus Ensemble (ACE) modulation, running in series to provide a total of 16 voices. The control range for this parameter extends from 0 to 100%, allowing for a wide spectrum of modulation effects.

At lower settings (closer to 0%), the modulation imparts a subtle thickening and movement to the reverb, adding a gentle, nuanced texture that can bring a sense of liveliness and dimension to the sound. This can be especially effective in adding warmth and complexity to sterile or flat-sounding mixes, subtly enhancing the overall sonic character.

As you increase the Modulation parameter towards 100%, the chorus effect becomes more pronounced. The 16 voices of the ACE modulation work together to create a lush, dense, and richly textured sound. This level of modulation can transform the reverb into a significant and distinctive element of the mix, imparting a dreamy, ethereal quality that's particularly well-suited for creating atmospheric or otherworldly soundscapes.

The Dual-Engine design, with its hand-tuned chorus voices, ensures that even at high modulation settings, the effect remains musical and coherent, avoiding the common pitfall of muddiness. This makes the Modulation parameter an incredibly versatile tool for creative sound design, allowing producers and engineers to dial in everything from subtle spatial enhancements to bold, transformative effects.

Steps to Use: Modulation

Step 1: Understanding the Modulation Parameter

• The Modulation parameter in your reverb plugin offers a sophisticated chorus effect using a Dual-Engine setup.
• Each engine consists of an 8-voice Advanced Chorus Ensemble (ACE) modulation, totaling 16 voices.
• The control range for this parameter is from 0 to 100%, providing a broad spectrum of modulation effects.

Step 2: Applying Subtle Modulation for Texture

• Use lower settings (closer to 0%) to add a subtle thickening and movement to the reverb.
• This gentle modulation can add liveliness and dimension, especially useful for enhancing flat-sounding mixes with warmth and complexity.

Step 3: Increasing Modulation for Rich Textures

• Gradually increase the Modulation towards 100% to intensify the chorus effect.
• At higher settings, the 16 voices create a lush, dense, and richly textured sound.

Step 4: Creating Atmospheric Soundscapes

• Utilize high Modulation settings to transform the reverb into a significant element of the mix.
• This can impart a dreamy, ethereal quality, ideal for atmospheric or otherworldly soundscapes.

Step 5: Maintaining Musical Coherence

• The Dual-Engine design with hand-tuned chorus voices ensures musicality, even at high settings.
• This design avoids the common pitfall of muddiness, keeping the effect coherent.

Step 6: Exploring Creative Sound Design

• Leverage the versatility of the Modulation parameter for creative sound design.
• Experiment with varying levels to achieve everything from subtle spatial enhancements to bold, transformative effects.
