Frequently Asked Questions

Ensemble subtly layers harmonically rich tones or synthetic strings under your reverb, creating a wider, more ethereal soundscape – it's not just a standard shimmer or chorus.
It's surprisingly intuitive, but achieving truly unique sounds requires some experimentation and understanding of the parameters. It’s designed for quick, impactful changes rather than precise dialing-in.
The BlueSky offers more preset flexibility and a wider range of algorithms, while the Cloudburst prioritizes streamlined simplicity and a more focused sonic palette, at a more affordable price point.
