I don't have Clouds anymore. Can one other person confirm before I make this breaking change?
I found an example of someone demonstrating Clouds only as a reverb effect in this video:
https://youtu.be/I-hTki9f3S8?t=17m51s
Density and Texture are both set to 12 o'clock, which means the audio is not being granulated at all -- reverb is just being applied to the incoming audio.
I used to own clouds and it was my go-to reverb effecrt. I had to sell most of my modules unfortunately, so I was thrilled to discover VCV rack and Audible instruments. I'd love to have that functionality again
Per Olivier (in 2017) the reverb is never applied to the dry signal, see below. I looked at the relevant code and dry really means DRY. Always.

Did you watch the video linked in my previous comment? The reverb is clearly being applied to the non-granulated signal. I remember this functionality clearly from when I owned clouds. I used it solely as a reverb ALL the time. I know I'm not crazy.
I understand that it's clearly always dry in the code but I'm also wondering how I (and so many other users as I've been able to see on YouTube) was able to use it as just a reverb. I guess it will remain a mystery.
From the panel and the knobs this could also be a DIY Clouds with a custom firmware. That does not explain your use case. Planning on building one here in the near future. I'll let you know what I find.
Wait. I figured it out, and now I feel like an idiot. I had the parasites firmware on it.
From the parasites firmware page:
"Put the post-processing reverb after dry/wet, so that it also affects the dry signal (so you can use Clouds as a simple reverb plus its main function)"
Okay, thanks for looking into it.
Hello,
I would like to point out an issue with the Audible instruments clone of Clouds:
In the actual, physical Clouds module, the reverb is applied to raw incoming audio AND granulated audio, allowing the user to use Clouds solely as a reverb effect if desired.
In the VCV clone, the reverb is only applied to the granulated audio, which means the reverb is not audible at all if the granulator Wet/Dry blend is set to 0.
Is this fixable?
