OTO Machines BAM firmware

1. NEW FEATURES : 1.1 : New FX Types : BLOOP and BOING. The TYPE parameter has now 10 settings : Room, Hall, Plate, Ambient, Chorus, Non-Linear, Primitive, Thru, Bloop and Boing. BLOOP : inspired by the BLOOM algorithm from the Alesis MIDIVERB II (programs 45 and 49). Like the original algorithm, the BLOOP is based on several allpass delays in series to create a dreamy and ethereal soundscape. This algorithm has a slow attack inherent to its structure. The MIDIVERB II had no modulation, so if you want to get closer to the original BLOOM programs, set the CHORUS parameter to 1 (Off) and the SIZE pot around noon. But of course the CHORUS parameter is very useful to create a more dense and spacey sound than the original BLOOM sound. Note : because this algorithm is prone to noise and instability with very long reverb times, the FREEZE function has been deactivated. BOING : close to a spring reverb, but not a faithful emulation, so we've called it «Boing» ! A nice spring reverb sound can be reached with the following settings : LO CUT : 80 Hz, HI CUT : 4.5 kHz, SIZE from mid to max, DAMPING from mid to max. Note : the CHORUS parameter is not working with the BOING algorithm. 1.2 : The CHORUS parameter has now 8 values instead of 4. Value no. 8 offers the same chorus intensity than the previous value no. 4 (Strong), so 4 intermediate values has been added. The 4 previous values were Off, Light (was value 2, now value 3), Mid (was value 3, now value 7) and Strong (was value 4, now value 8). You’ll find more infos about the correspondences between the old and the new values on the next drawing (PRE DELAY RANGE parameter). 1.3 : A PRE DELAY RANGE parameter has been added. This parameter changes the maximum delay time set by the PRE DELAY pot. On previous BAM revisions, the maximum delay time was 400 ms (now PRE DELAY RANGE value 3). It was a bit hard to accurately set a short pre-delay. [...]
