Versatility of 'verb

Six programs. Nine built-in presets. 128 MIDI presets. If you can think of a reverb, the Mako R1 can do it. Choose from six programs: 'Spring' provides a perfect emulation of an exciting spring reverb such as those in tube amps, 'Hall' does what it says on the box- spacious reverb mimicking concert hall-style venues, 'Plate' provides a perfect imitation of an analog plate's reverb ie. the EMT 140. These 3 modes could be described as more traditional programs, the next 3 offer something much bigger in scale, and far more ethereal.

'BFR' stands for Big F Reverb which is more than a little suggestive of how massive this reverb sounds. This goes beyond any Giant Arena variant you've ever come across- you have to try it to truly appreciate the sheer size of this mode. 'Refract' enables glitchy, reverse delay textures over a heavily diffused reverb. This is the most eccentric mode and one that provides endless fun experimenting with the outlandish soundscapes it creates. Finally, 'Air' is a breathy, very diffused reverb with more of a crisp clarity to its decay. With so much to explore, the only way is to dive in headfirst to the world of expansive reverb.

Intuitive layout

The detailed controls make dialling in a range of reverbs with the Mako R1 remarkably easy. 'Decay' controls the length of the reverb effect while 'Mix' simply controls the wet/dry balance. 'Tune' shapes your EQ and sculpts the bass and treble response of the reverb signal. 'Tweak' then controls the amount of modulation and pre-delay present. 'Swell' allows you to introduce volume swells giving you scope for truly etheral reverb tones. Tweakability is key and the R1's layout is deliberately straightforward to make experimentation easy so you can get hands-on crafting your ideal reverbs.
