Description
Reverb is called Miverb on the project page and Oliverb in the release history and in later ports. Granular gains reversed playback, asymmetric grain envelopes and much smaller grains; the looping delay adds tempo sync, ping-pong and an open feedback loop. Parasites for Tides (v1.121), Warps (v1.01) and Frames (v1.21) come from the same repository and release list but those modules have no device page here. Recalibrate after updating.
Install notes
Follow the firmware update procedure in the official Clouds manual, then recalibrate (press Save on startup). If the serial number ends in a number below 020, the project page advises contacting Mutable Instruments first because the bootloader may be faulty.
