Knee Verb

Choose Plate and keep Dry/Wet restrained while finding a Decay that fits the gap between phrases. Increase Pre-delay only enough to distinguish the start of the word from the arrival of the space.

Use Damper to compare the plate's upper decay. If the return competes with consonants or snare brightness, shape the wet path rather than darkening the complete source. Recheck the longest held word as well as the first transient.

On clean guitar or electric piano, choose Spring and compare Drive on gentle notes and hard accents. A setting that sounds interesting on one hit may become too forceful over a whole chord pattern.

The spring Drive and the separate input colour are different operations. Input Gain above its neutral region also drives an input-colour stage; use the selected engine's control for its particular response and compare at a similar output level.

Choose Church on a pad, brass phrase or held guitar texture and compare Distance with a suitable Decay. Keep the dry contribution audible while deciding where the part should sit, then use wet EQ or dynamics if the tail fills too much of the arrangement.

Decay's percentage has engine-specific behaviour rather than a universal seconds scale. The larger Church settings also change the spatial character. Hear the full tail before choosing a transition or ending.
