CB PAINT REVERB

One of the most lush and adaptable reverbs ever made, the Alesis Microverb is a late 1900s digital artifact, blurring the line between yesterday and yesteryear. We have crafted several of that unit’s most memorable patches and outfitted them with modern functionality. A nod to that era, this is called CB Paint. Much like its graphical namesake, the Microverb brought studio quality digital reverb into a compact and accessible format. Limitations in the original design created unique reverb reflection filter characteristics that define its sound.

CB Paint includes six of the more distinct patches from the original Microverb, along with gate and reverse modes. It also adds a Mix control, an adjustable low pass filter, and an Onset control that determines how long it takes for the reverb to appear after the initial signal.

CONTROLS

• Tone controls a 2 pole low pass filter for softening high peaks up is bright down is dark
• Mix controls the balance between dry signal and wet reverb signal
• Onset controls the delay before the reverb begins minimum is immediate maximum is approximately 200 ms
• Mode is an 8 way selector for reverb patches

MODES

• Patches 1 to 6 are based on original Microverb patches with increasing room size and decay time from shortest to longest
• Patch 7 is gate mode with controlled reverb decay behavior
• Patch 8 is reverse reverb mode creating a rising reverb effect based on signal processing methods
