Pyrosphere Manual
Pyrosphere changes how a sound unfolds in time. It can stretch a hit out after it lands, or pull energy in ahead of it, then drive, compress and gate the result. It's the first Reverse Disperser of its kind, on one insert.
Protect your hearing. Some presets are louder than others, so click through loud sounds and mixer tracks at a safe volume.
What Pyrosphere does
Most effects change what a sound is made of. Pyrosphere also changes when parts of the sound arrive, with two sections that work on time:
- Disperse lets some frequencies lag behind others, so a sharp hit turns into a short sweep that trails after it. Turned up, it's the classic laser or zap. Turned down, it adds depth and weight.
- Reverse does the opposite. It pulls energy in ahead of the hit, so a transient arrives with a rush instead of a click, and drums and vocals step forward without just getting brighter.
Between them sit a five-shape Drive, a Compressor you play with one fader, and a soft-knee Gate. Four built-in modulators can move almost any dial, and a Safety clipper keeps the output under −0.1 dBFS.
