Finally, the Freeze button allows users to make smeared textures out of single voices, full pads, or percussive elements. ShimmerVerb also has a HotSwitch for calling up another state of parameters inside the same preset, useful for changing octaves, turning off/on the pitch shifters, or turning the mix up or down while crafting a performance. Desktop users can plug in a MIDI keyboard and attain tactile command over this function via the modulation wheel.
The “Ribbon” is an easy-to-program performance macro allowing users to morph ShimmerVerb’s effect between two completely different settings of any combination of controls. Feedback can be further fine-tuned by specifying which frequencies are fed back through the low/mid/high cross-over network. Additional features include the ability to infinitely feedback the signal, resulting in cascading reverbs that smear into oblivion. Now this sound has been refined and extended with a modern, unified interface. This production technique was popularized by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno on U2’s The Unforgettable Fire. Producers and engineers have previously achieved this effect by using Eventide pitch-shifting hardware such as the H910, H949, or H3000 or other rack-mount units in combination with a reverb. Eventide has released the new ShimmerVerb plugin, which combines a rich reverb with parallel pitch shifters in a design intended to add “ethereal layers” to any signal.
