We found that leaving this feature intact ate into the patch’s memory just a little too much for such little payoff, so we leave that addition to you and your favorite delay. Our Soft Focus is not an exact recreation but was exhaustively compared with our own FX500 the difference is that a fairly generic fixed-time digital delay is present on the Soft Focus patch. All controls are "coupled" to the tone of the reverb to give users an expansive playing field of sounds to discover and fine tune.
The Mod knob controls the rate of the chorus on path one, and the Symphony knob controls the level of the octave on path two. One path contains a “symphonic” chorus modulator, another features a well-appointed octave-up mixed in with the reverb, and the third path leaves the reverb untouched. At its heart, the Soft Focus is a heavily modified plate reverb with adjustable time, which is subsequently split into three. The original unit had a very plug-and-play approach, offering no mix control, a sub-par preamp and a ghastly tone-sucking bypass signal. With its roots in that patch, the Catalinbread Soft Focus is intended to be an instant shoegaze button, while addressing the most glaring issues of the original unit. The Soft Focus patch on the Yamaha FX500 was widely used in the ‘90s by early shoegaze bands, most notably Slowdive on Souvlaki.
