TipTop Audio Valhalla Shimmer Reverb Overview

Create unbelievable spatial effects with the Tiptop Audio Shimmer, a reverb cartridge created by Valhalla that contains 8 original reverb algorithms, custom designed for the Z-DSP Eurorack effects module. The effects are designed to combine lush reverberation with multiple voices of pitch shifting, to create ethereal pads, rich chordal textures, dissonant clouds of sound, and a variety of other sounds that are perfect for electronic music.

Algorithms
There are 6 reverb algorithms in the Z-DSP Shimmer cartridge, arranged in order of complexity:

  • Fast Shimmer: A modulated reverb that quickly decays away into an endlessly pitch shifting tail. The shift interval can be set between +/-12 semitones. Perfect for that classic octave-up shimmer sound.
  • Slow Shimmer: Similar to Fast Shimmer, but with a much slower attack.
  • Dual Shimmer: Two pitch-shifted voices, embedded within a larger modulated reverb network, shifting the reverb decay in both positive and negative directions. Try slowly sweeping the Shift control in this mode for ridiculously cinematic sounds.
  • Triple Shimmer: Two pitch shifted voices embedded within the reverb decay network, plus a third voice external to the network. This allows the user to have a reverb with +12 and -12 semitones of feedback, plus a stable +7 semitones voice without feedback.
  • Quad Shimmer: Four pitch-shifted voices feeding into a lush modulated reverb. This allows for a variety of dissonant and consonant chordal textures, with the max Shift setting corresponding to a rich major chord.
  • ClusterVerb: Four pitch-shifted voices embedded within the feedback network of a modulated reverb. The result quickly becomes dissonant or metallic. Perfect for insta-Ligeti, or Penderecki in a box.

In addition, the Z-DSP Shimmer cart features 2 special effects algorithms:

  • Quad Detune: 4 short pitch-shifted delays, feeding back on each other. A variety of chorus, detuned, and dissonant effects can be obtained through this mode. Turn up the Feedback for maximum fun.
  • PitchEcho: A single pitch-shifting voice, combined with a tape echo emulation = sound mangling joy. Turn up the feedback for barber-pole self-oscillation, and sweep the decay time for all sorts of swoopy glitches.
