Using Verve Analog Machines
Choose a machine at the top of the Verve plug-in, and adjust the controls at the bottom. To show info for selected machines, toggle the Info button.
Verve Analog Machine provides simple controls for drive and tone / warble. Verve Analog Machines Essentials has only a drive control.
- Drive – Adjusts the amount of overdrive and distortion. Verve’s drive control is gain-compensated.
- Tone / warble – Adjusts the EQ (tone), or the amount of tape-style modulation (warble).
- Output level trim – Adjusts the output level of the plug-in by ±12 dB (full version only).
Within an instance of the Verve plug-in, drive, tone, and warble control settings are retained with each machine, so as you switch machines, you hear your previous settings. Verve’s output level control is not retained with each machine, but is set globally.
Note: When automating drive, tone, or warble parameters, the settings can sound very different from machine to machine. Automating parameters and then switching machines can have unpredictable results.
