Based (conceptually) on the Qu-Bit Nautilus, this patch is a quad delay, reverb, and filter combo effect for creating complex, rhythmic, and evolving textures. Many of the parameters are named after those on the Qu-Bit module in order to give credit where credit is due.
PRIMARY FEATURES
- Mono in to Stereo Out
- Four Delays in a linear signal chain with ability to offset their delay time relative to eachother.
- Stereo multifilter into Reverb are mid-chain to add color to the last 2 delays at end of chain.
- Auto panning is built into final end of signal chain.
- Clockable
- Dry/Wet Signal control

KNOB SET: MAIN
DRY GAIN - Adjusts dry signal amplitude(silence to +6db)
WET GAIN - Adjusts wet signal amplitude (silence to +6db)
DISPERSAL - Adjusts relative offset of delay times
SPREAD - Adjusts Pan Intensity of Wet Signal
SPREAD RATE - Adjusts auto pan rate
TIME - Adjusts baseline time value for all four delays
FEEDBACK - Adjusts all four delay feedback levels
FATHOMS - Adjusts reverb dry/wet
FATHOMS REPLACE - Adjusts Reverb ‘replace’ value
FATHOMS DETUNE - Adjusts Reverb detune function
FATHOMS BRIGHT - Adjusts brightness of reverb
FATHOMS SIZE - Adjusts reverb size
KNOB SET 2 : FILT/OFFS/SONAR
OFFSETS B/C/D - manually sets relative offset value for each delay time. The scale of these offsets is controlled by ‘DISPERSAL’ in the main panel. These offsets are bipolar.
SONAR PING - The Sonar feature is a gate controlled envelope modulating the resonance of the multi-filter. This knob controls the intensity of that envelope and, thereby, the amount of resonance triggered by it.
SONAR A/D - Control the attack and decay values of the ping envelope
SONAR FEEDBACK - Scales how much the sonar envelope also momentarily modulates the delay feedback for each delay [NOTE: I’m still working out this feature]
LP/BP/HP - Toggles which filter type is used in the delay chain
FREQ - Adjusts the filter frequency mid-chain
FREQ Q - Adjusts the baseline resonance for the filter. This is bipolar to offset incoming pings from Sonar as well.
FILT DRIVE - Adjusts the drive of the filter signal, adding grit and volume to the delay signal.
PERFORMANCE
This patch reliably runs on my MM around 80% CPU power. That leaves very little overhead at times, so so you may need to scale down your bitrate should you run into any issues with CPU overload.
Enjoy!
