The Lacrima Versio is Noise Engineering's Take on the Classic Autowah, In Stereo, With a Twist

Lacrima Versio features an envelope follower that controls a high-resonance filter. Morph the filter between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass slopes, and Lacrima covers all the sounds you'd expect from a typical wah - but this is not your typical wah. Route an adjustable distortion pre, post, or pre+post filter for some saturation crunch. Add width and motion (and just a little otherworldly tone) to your sounds with a stereo chorus. Last but not least, use the Mod parameter to add audio-rate modulation and octavizing to your signal. Cry your heart out with the Lacrima firmware, available free to all Versio owners.

Interface

• Blend: Dry/wet balance control. When turned fully left, the unmodified input signal is passed through. Fully right, only the processed signal is heard. Points in the middle give you a mix of both. Chorus amount is not affected by blend
• Sat: Saturation amount. Pre/Bet/Aft switch changes where the distortion happens
• L/B/H: Smoothly morphs and blends the filter from a lowpass to a bandpass to a highpass
• Freq: Sets the base frequency of the filter
• Q: Sets the amount of filter resonance
• Env (bipolar): Envelope-follower send amount. This extracts the envelope from the incoming signal's dynamics, and routes it to the filter cutoff, creating the classic "wah" effects. This control is bipolar: at 12:00, the filter is not affected by the envelope. To the right, the envelope will increase the filter's frequency. To the left, the envelope will decrease the filter's frequency.
• Mod: Introduces audio-rate modulation, and an octavizing effect in the top 3rd of the knob
• Hit: Triggers the envelope follower manually
• Pre/Bet/Aft: Changes where the saturation stage is placed in the signal chain
• Pre: saturation occurs at the input
• Bet: saturation occurs between the first and second filters
• Aft: saturation occurs after the filters
• 0/I/II: Activates a chorus. 0 is off, I is a slow chorus, and II is a faster chorus. Chorus amount is not affected by Blend
