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.
