SOLIS VENTUS

Delay and Reverb

Reverb + Reverb, Delay + Delay, or Delay + Reverb, in any order

Solis Ventus is a dual‐engine Delay and Reverb pedal, able to run two algorithms at once, with arbitrary pairings, ordering, and routings.

 

A special 'Stompbox Mode' dedicates one footswitch to control the on/off state of each engine, effectively turning the Solis Ventus into a quick and dirty two-stompbox setup.

 

And as always, external control devices may be used to open up even more interactive possibilities.

15 Delays, 9 Reverbs, 96 Presets

In addition to several new exciting algorithms, the entire algorithms library from the Specular Tempus have been brought back, improved and expanded, for the Solis Ventus.

Flexible Routings

Stack your delay and reverb, combine them in parallel, or run them independently in dual mono channels, and then swap them around on the fly, Solis Ventus has all your wild ideas covered.

Routing, ordering, and on/off state information are clearly displayed at all times so you will never get lost.

Stereo Looper

A 40 second stereo looper is available that works independently from the Delay and Reverb engines, either before (Pre) or after (Post). A perfect tool for creating a sound-on-sound style loops. The layering of sounds didn't stop there: the playback effects cover standard and experimental application, from speed manipulation, sound reversal, to an ever increasing pitch transposition.

Expansive External Control

  • Expression - 2 expression pedal inputs (with CV compatibility).

  • Aux Switches - accepts up to 3 external switches for additional control (bank up/down, tap tempo, etc).

  • MIDI In / MIDI Thru/Clock - nearly all features and functionalities of the pedal are opened to MIDI access.

Dynamics Engine

Independent dynamics processing engines, placed post DSP X and DSP Y, enable dynamic effects (ducking or gating) to be applied to any delay or any reverb algorithms in the Solis Ventus.

Both DSP X and and DSP Y have their own dynamics engine, bringing an unprecedented flexibility and precision in sculpting your dynamic delay and reverb soundscape.

Crossover Engine

A switchable crossover filter allows you to split the input signals into two frequency bands, one frequency band is routed to DSP X and the other band is routed to DSP Y.

 

This band splitting allows the X and Y engines to run the algorithms on different frequency bands, a wonderfully effective tool for creating unique moods and textures. You can even modulate the cutoff frequency via MIDI for an otherwordly effects!

Solis Ventus : : The Next Evolution of Delay & Reverb by @gfisys

The GFI System Solis Ventus builds on the legacy of the Specular Tempus, offering a dual DSP pedal with 9 lush reverb algorithms and 15 versatile delay algorithms. It’s a powerhouse for crafting immersive soundscapes, and I love how it inspires creativity with its rich, dynamic tones. ■My new single is out: https://open.spotify.com/album/1pcol0tllNdLQnFtNVjli7?si=rzl_xpdrSUWUi2HnOTm1Xg ■This channel is supported by my Patreons, become a member here : https://www.patreon.com/ooramusic ■Buy Oxi One and Coral with 5% off using coupon: supportoora https://oxiinstruments.com/store?coupon=supportoora ➤Support the page by buying through these affiliate link : US GFI SOLIS VENTUS : https://tinyurl.com/5juvh3h OP-XY: https://tinyurl.com/59ae5xt2 Moog Model D : https://tinyurl.com/48zszxvw New Arrivals at Perfect Circuit : https://tinyurl.com/227dw7vu EU Polyend Synth : https://thmn.to/thoprod/603957?offid=1&affid=1583 Moog Model D : https://thmn.to/thoprod/553838?offid=1&affid=1583 My favorite things : https://thmn.to/thocf/iqfskolosq 00:00 Intro 03:15 How to support me 03:38 Overview of the pedal 06:20 Delay algos overview 13:00 Reverb algos overview 16:50 Solis Ventus on the Perfourmer 22:50 Processing the Buchla Easel Command 24:14 On Arpeggios 26:45 Conclusions #opxy #teenageengineering #teenageengineeringopxy ■All my videos are shot and graded with: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/de/products/blackmagiccinemacamera https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/de/products/davinciresolve More Oora ▼ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ooramusic Bandcamp https://oora.bandcamp.com Spotify https://tinyurl.com/4w459x3m

GFI System - Solis Ventus Delay/Reverb Demo

Solis Ventus (Latin: Sun & Wind) is a dual-engine Delay and Reverb that expands and improves on the their flagship Specular Tempus pedal. The whole library has been included and rebuilt from the ground up with a more powerful 32-bit ARM processor that now allows you to run two algorithms simultaneously. Choose from 15 Delays and 9 Reverb algorithms in series or parallel, ping-pong, stereo or dual mono and layer them all with a new 40 second looper. Looking at the fresh interface you’ll notice two touch sliders that instantly access the Mix but also tap into two new features: Crossover and a Dynamics Engine. When engaged, the Crossover splits the input signal into low and high-pass bands and sends one to each DSP. Secondly, the Dynamics Engine is a post effect that expands on the concept of ducking or gating but is applied to any algorithm you choose! Plus, flexible routing, two exp pedal options, tap tempo, MIDI and 96 presets let you easily control and re-create the magic at any time.
