Update: I tweaked the patch in the video a bit, added some remotes and uploaded it to my Github for everyone. Here is the download: https://bit.ly/3LDQe40

Here's a small reverb idea that I sometimes use. It’s a flexible technique that doesn't need to be applied every time. I'll walk you through how to create it using a polymer patch, some modulation, and the FX grid.

Patch Setup: Start with a simple saw wave in a polymer patch.
Mod Delay: Instead of adding a reverb, use an FX grid with a mod delay set to milliseconds.
Voice Stacking: Implement voice stacking with 16 voices and adjust the volume using an amplifier.
Value Modification: Use a value modifier to adjust the pitch or delay modulation amount to 99%.
Panning: Add a pen knob to change values differently between the left and right channels.
Stack Spread Modulator: Utilize this to assign different values to each stack.
Delay Timing and Feedback: Modulate the delay timing and feedback amount, adding a low pass filter for masking.
Additional Effects: Add a phase with chorus (eight voices) and tweak settings for variation.
LFO Modulation: Include an LFO without synchronization to BPM, adjusting the frequency for each stack.
Filtering: Use an SVF or Sallen-Key band pass filter with resonance adjustments, optionally quantizing frequencies to a scale.
Custom Adjustments: You can add various effects within this chain for unique reverb outcomes.
