The main page of Verve, with the page buttons at the top and the most important parameter controls at the bottom: Distance, Balance, Variation, and Contour.
Distance

Blends between the close and room microphone systems that were used for recording.

  • All the way to the left, you only hear the close and direct sound.

  • If the control is in the center position, you get a mix of the close and room signals.

  • The more you turn the control to the right, the more the close sound disappears and the room microphones become prominent.

Balance

Blends between the piano and the texture layer.

  • All the way to the left, you hear the piano layer.

  • If the control is in the center position, you get a balanced mix of the piano and texture layers.

  • All the way to the right, you hear the texture layer.

Variation

Lets you add more liveliness to the sound.

Note

The effect of this parameter varies with the selected texture presets.

Contour

Determines the amount of filtering of the sound.

  • Turn the control to the left for a darker sound and to the right for a brighter sound.

Note

The effect of this parameter varies with the selected texture presets.

Page Buttons

With the buttons at the top of the main page, you can navigate between the different pages of the instrument: Piano, Texture, and Effects.

From left to right: the page buttons for the Piano, Texture, and Effects pages

The buttons below the page buttons activate/deactivate the pages. This is useful to compare the sound with and without the effects, for example, or to listen only to the texture or piano components, to fine-tune your settings.
