unit. Turning the Bal control completely clockwise means that only the Time
Left/Time Right signals are sent from the effects unit. Intermediate settings
produce a mixture of the three signals.
The Wet control allows you to set the level of the processed or wet signal
that is sent from the effects unit. This control is useful for controlling the
balance between the effect's processed and unprocessed output signals.
Reverb
The Octopus' Reverb effect is used to add ambiance to sounds. It features
controls for: FDBK (Feedback), Bright and Wet.
The FDBK (Feedback) control is used to set the effect's reverb time. This
parameter approximately corresponds to the size of the simulated space.
Turning the control completely anti-clockwise produces effects similar to the
resonances of very small spaces like tubes or pipes. Turning the control
completely clockwise produces effects similar to the resonances of very
large spaces like large auditoriums or churches.
The brightness of the space is controlled with the effect's Bright control. In
practical terms, the brightness of a space is determined by type and amount
of damping present in the space. For example, carpeted rooms will sound
darker than rooms containing a lot of glass surfaces which tend to sound
brighter. In the case of the Octopus, the higher the effect's Bright setting,
the larger the amount of high frequency content in the processed signal.
The Wet control allows you to set the level of the processed or wet signal
that is sent from the effects unit. This control is useful for controlling the
balance between the effect's processed and unprocessed output signals.
