Separate drum outputs.

Samples 1/2 and 3/4 are grouped outputs.

Plugging a cable into certain outputs will

remove that channel from the final mix.

Audio levels of channels

Enable/mute switches for separate outputs.

Turning the switch to the left disables the effect

and engages the effect when switched to the right

In the middle position the channel is muted.

Switches only affect the sound

of the final outputs: out 1 and out 2

Separate left and right mono final outputs.
You can use airline adapter from the store
to connect headphones directly.

•

HALL REVERB:

‘Cabin fever’ knob defines the decay of the reverb or hall size. Holding ‘tap’

for longer than 1 second enables the secondary function for ‘cabin fever’: fixed hi-pass
filter to cut off low frequencies and have more ‘air’ in the final output.

•

SHIMMER REVERB

is a variation of the hall reverb with a pitch shifter to create choir-like,

huge and unrealistic spaces. The primary ‘cabin fever’ function defines the decay and the
secondary function defines the amount of pitch-shifter mixed into original reverb.

•

STEREO ROOM REVERB

recreates a sort of stereo room ambience. Primary ‘cabin fever’ parameter

defines room size and the secondary defines the stereo spread of the reverb, from mono up to a
huge stereo spread.

•

PLATE REVERB.

The primary ‘cabin fever’ defines the decay of the reverb. In real life equivalent

this is the distance from the pickups to the metal plate which is how long the tail of the reverb is
present. Secondary parameter defines the amount of pre-delay to distant sounds in ambience.

AIRWAYS BANK

DARKWAVES BANK

•

GATED REVERB

is based around plate reverb with noise gate. The primary ‘cabin fever’ defines

the reverb decay, but the secondary defines the threshold of the noise gate.
Noise gate’s attack and decay are fixed and chosen experimentally to fit most musical styles.

•

SPRING REVERB:

The primary ‘cabin fever’ defines the decay of the reverb. With the ‘tap’ button

  you can simulate a sound as if you pluck the real spring with your finger. The secondary function
  is tied to the ‘tap’ button’s ‘pluck the spring’ feature and defines the DECAY of how fast the spring
  will calm down after manually plucking it.

•

REVERSED REVERB

takes the reverb tail of the sound and reverses it. If applied on drums like

  snare then it creates a breathing effect. ‘Cabin pressure’ knob defines the predelay time and acts
  as dry/wet control. 'Cabin fever' sets the reverb decay value. Holding ‘tap’ for longer than
  1 second enables the secondary function for ‘cabin fever’: damping, i.e. volume of the tail
  (in our case tail = 'head' as the tail is reversed).

•

FLANGER:

The ‘cabin pressure’ knob sets the amount of delay. With primary ‘cabin fever’ we set

the LFO speed. The secondary defines the feedback. Playing with that three parameters allows
to achieve sweeping, airplane engine alike sound with a pretty wide range.

•

RING MODULATOR

multiplies the signal with an internal sine wave oscillator. ‘Cabin pressure’ defines the

amount of modulation and ‘cabin fever’ defines the speed of the oscillator. Secret ingredient – feedback!
Its amount is controlled by the secondary ‘cabin fever’ and brings special dirtiness to the sounds.

•

OVERDRIVE:

‘Cabin pressure’ knob adjusts the drive amount with volume compensation, while ‘cabin fever’

defines the tone control as usually found in guitar pedals. The ‘tap’ button makes the effect active or
bypassed, like the switch on a guitar pedal – and so does ‘cabin fever’ latching trigger CV input.

•

PEAK COMPRESSOR:

‘Cabin pressure’ knob defines the threshold from -90dB to 0dB (fully CW). Primary

‘cabin fever’ sets the amount of gain reduction (ratio) from 1 to 25. Secondary parameter defines the
attack, from 1 to 200 msec. Release is always ‘auto’. ‘C. fever’ CV input is an unattenuated side-chain input.
•

FREEZER/LOOPER:

When ‘tap’ is pressed (or ‘cabin fever’ CV gate is ON), the audio is looped by the grain

length defined by the ‘cabin fever’ knob – and with the speed – defined by ‘cabin pressure’ knob or
CV – applied.

•

SPRING REVERB.

The primary ‘cabin fever’ defines the decay of the reverb. With the ‘tap’ button

  you can simulate a sound as if you pluck the real spring with your finger. The secondary function
  is tied to the ‘tap’ button’s ‘pluck the spring’ feature and defines the decay of how fast the spring
  will calm down after manually plucking it.

•

PING-PONG DELAY

is a stereo clocked delay. A ‘tap’ is usually three or more short clicks on the

‘tap’ button. The primary ‘cabin fever’ parameter defines the feedback of the delay or repeats.
The secondary defines the clock division of the incoming tap/clock: 1, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8

•

TAPE ECHO

is a delay with 3 fixed playback heads. Primary ‘cabin fever’ parameter defines the

  delay repeat rate which is the speed of tape. The ‘tap’ button works in a limited frequency range
  of manual tapping and defines the amount of feedback. The secondary works as a divider for
  the incoming clock.

•

CHORUS:

Primary ‘cabin fever’ knob defines the feedback amount. In average amounts, it creates

typical unison effect however in full CW it goes to an infinite feedback resulting unrealistic
ambient. Secondary parameter defines the modulation depth, which is 'full on' by default.
