Vintage Univibe
The Vintage Univibe is an emulation of the
classic rotary speaker effect. The effects that
can be achieved with it range from a “phasey”,
thick chorus to lush vibrato. By switching
between the two Speed settings, you will
achieve a noticeable speed change similar to
the effect you hear when the rotary speaker in
a Leslie is turned on and off. As you will
discover though, Univibe is not a Leslie, but
rather has a character of its own.
Speed 1 & Speed 2
Range: 150 Hz to 10 kHz
Two speed settings can be set. By assigning an
external controller to switch between the two
speeds, you can “shift gears”. The greater the
difference between the two settings, the more
noticeable the speed change will be.
Depth
Range: 0 to 100 %
Defines the intensity of the pitch modulation.
Tempo 1 & Tempo 2
Range: Ignored, 1 to 1/32T
(T= Triplet & D= Dotted)
When set to any value between 1 and 1/32T,
the Global Tempo is subdivided according to
this setting. When set to “Ignored”, the speed
set using the Speed parameter is used instead.
The Tap Master parameter – located in
the Global menu – specifies whether
the Global tempo or the tempo set by
the Speed parameter in each preset
should be used at preset change.
Attack
Range: 0.05 to 5 sec
The attack parameter defines the time it takes
for the effect to go from slow to fast.
Beware that the parameters; Speed 1 and
Speed 2, have the same range and it is up to
you whether Speed 1 or Speed 2 is the
slowest/fastest.
Release
Range: 0.05 to 5 sec
Opposite to the Attack parameter, Release
defines the time that the effect takes to switch
from the faster Speed setting to the slower one.
Select
Settings: Speed 1 / Speed 2
Use this parameter to specify whether Speed 1
or Speed 2 is the default setting for the effect. If
you assign a Modifier to this parameter, you can
switch between the two speeds e.g. by using a
MIDI pedal to send a MIDI CC message.
BpMode
Settings: Direct/Delayed
This parameter defines how the effect behaves
when the effect is bypassed and when switching
between Speed 1 and Speed 2 within the same
preset. When "Direct" is selected, Univibe is
switched off immediately. When "Delayed" is
selected, you will hear that the speed slows
down gradually according to the setting of the
"Release" parameter.
PhaseReverse
Settings: Off/On
By turning the phase 180°, you will get a very
intense effect. Just try it!
Mix
Range: 0 to 100 %
This parameter sets the relationship between
the level of the dry signal and the level of the
effect in this block.
OutLev – Out Level
Range: -100 to 0 dB
This parameter sets the overall output level for
this effect.
Modern Univibe
Although it is equipped with the same
parameters as the Classic Univibe, the Modern
variation sounds quite different – slightly less
“swirley”, more radical and with more phasing.
