Hey Q,
Thanks for the info. After learning more, as you stated, it's not a source issue; it's particular to the architecture of this algorithm. Just out of curiosity, have you clicked on the info tab on the alg which describes what each knob does:
Shimmer – [SHIMMR]
We don’t have proof, but we’re pretty sure this is what the guitars sound like in heaven. Set the [A-PCH] and [B-PCH] to just above and below 1200c, turn the [DELAY] all the way down, and everything else all the way up. Oh, and remember to walk toward the light.
Mix – [MIX] : wet/dry mixer, 100% is all wet signal
Decay – [DECAY] : arbitrary 0-100 decay (less decay will also take away reverb attack)
Size – : size of the reverb
Delay – [DELAY] : post reverb and pre pitch-shift delay time in milliseconds or note-based in tempo mode
Low Band Decay – [LO-DCY] : amount of post reverb and pitch-shifter low band signal (this is in the feedback path)
High Band Decay – [HI-DCY] : amount of post reverb and pitch-shifter high band signal (this is in the feedback path)
Pitch Shift A – [PICH-A] : Pitch-shifter A pitch in cents (500c=P4th, 700c=P5th, 1200c=1 Octave, 1900=1 Octave+P5, 2400=2 Octaves)
Pitch Shift B – [PICH-B] : Pitch-shifter B pitch in cents (500c=P4th, 700c=P5th, 1200c=1 Octave, 1900=1 Octave+P5, 2400=2 Octaves)
Pitch Decay – [PITCH] : The PITCH-DECAY knob controls the amount of pitch shifting in the reverb tail. It increases from 0 to 100. Beyond 100 are two FREEZE modes. PITCH FREEZE locks out the pitch shifters, but feeds the reverb, allowing you to freeze the Shimmer pitch climb at opportune times. PITCH+VERB FREEZE freezes everything (pitch and reverb) for dry soloing on top of the frozen reverb.
Mid Band Decay – [MIDDCY] : amount of post reverb and pitch-shifter mid band signal (this is in the feedback path)
Try decreasing the SIZE of the reverb, and increasing the PITCH DECAY substantially. This will bring the level of the pitch on the reverb tails to the forefront. Adjust the LOW, HIGH and MID BAND DECAYS to taste.
Experiment with this and let me know if you get to the sound you're after… If not, we'll take the next step.
Cheers,
-CC
