Modes and Controls
Create immersive backdrops that move and shift with every note to blur the line between instrument and ambient sound design with three unique modes:
Mode I - Grain Cloud: A granular texture built from dual taps reading from a feedback delay line. The X knob controls the grain size, or how frequently you’ll hear the “glitches” happen. Experiment stacking with other modulated or wet effects on your board to create all-new sounds. Mode II - Grain Verb: A granular reverb built from dual taps reading from the delay memory of a reverb algorithm tank. The result is a dense, washed-out texture where grains are fully embedded in reverb. Almost as if the grains just took a bath in reverb. The X knob controls the grain size, or how frequently you’ll hear the “glitches” happen. Tip - Lüm is a treat to put before high-gain pedals in mode two. Mode III - Forward / Reverse Verb: A forward reverb algorithm running into a reverse reverb algorithm. You’ll hear a playful rhythmic interaction between the forward and reverse reverbs. Use the Stretch knob to change how fast or slow this interaction is. The X knob controls the reverse reverb decay.Moment Control - Lüm allows you to automate any one of the five knobs by holding the Moment switch to glide to a defined target, adding dynamic, expressive motion in real time.
Ramp - Holding Bypass and adjusting the Mode toggle allows you to adjust the automation glide time between 10 ms, 1000 ms, and 5000 ms.
Stretch Engine - Globally shift the sample rate from 0.5x to 2x speed, stretching time, and interacting uniquely with grain size, reverb decay, and filter tone.
Presets - Save and recall up to three onboard presets (Red, Green, Blue). Sounds fade seamlessly between presets for smooth live transitions.
Bypass Modes - Choose between Trails for natural decay or Instant Cut for abrupt, rhythmic stops.
FEATURES
- Three unique modes for ambient and experimental sound design.
- Grain Cloud mode uses dual taps reading from a feedback delay line to create granular textures with adjustable grain size.
- Grain Verb mode surrounds granular textures with a dense, washed-out reverb where grains are fully embedded in the reverb.
- Forward / Reverse Verb mode runs forward reverb into reverse reverb for a playful rhythmic interaction between both reverbs.
- Assignable momentary automation lets any one of the five knobs glide to a defined target in real time.
- Three Ramp speeds adjust the automation glide time between 10ms, 1000ms, and 5000ms.
- Stretch Engine shifts the sample rate from 0.5x to 2x speed.
- Three onboard presets with seamless transitions between sounds.
