RedSky
Use the cloud reverb for pads, drones and textures, with movement, a vowel choir and shimmer.
The RedSky is an ambient reverb: a huge, diffuse, moving tail, with a vowel choir (Chorale) and a shimmer, a tuned copy of the tail above or below. It is made for pads, drones and textures. Its face is a blue pedal, with the footswitches at the bottom.
Cloud, Chorale and Shimmer work together, each with its own knobs, all in view.

The display and the presets
The display shows the preset name, with ‹ and › to step through the list. Tapping the name opens the list; when you turn a knob, it shows the parameter and value for a moment and goes back to the name.
The 9 factory presets: Sky Cloud, Endless, Soft Mist, Octave Halo, Fifth Glow, Low Octave, Choir Air, Glass Choir and Deep Drift. A preset keeps every control and the MIX.
