Shimmerhall

Held notes rise into light.

Shimmer reverb: a long, gently moving space whose tail is pitch-shifted and fed back into itself, so held notes bloom into a bright halo an octave or a fifth above. Shimmer sets how much climbs. Interval: 0 = octave up, 1 = fifth up, 2 = octave and fifth, 3 = octave and octave-plus-fifth, 4 = octave down and up.

How it is made

Original sOURnd design: pre-delay and three all-pass input diffusers per channel into an eight-line Hadamard feedback delay network with in-loop all-passes, low shelf and damping; its output passes through one or two crossfading two-head delay-line pitch shifters and a band-pass, and returns to the network input at the shimmer level.
