“air” is being moved when the drum is hit. This effect works great for
drums, percussion, and any transient source.
REVERSE. The Reverse Reverb type is an inverted reverb in which the
signal begins softly and grows louder until it is cut off, rather than loud
to soft as normal.
Setting the Reverb Predelay Time
Button: [EDIT] [EDIT] [100 REVERB]
Page: 6 and 7 (3 and 4 in Config 2, Send 3)
Parameter: Predelay (0 to 299ms)
With this parameter, you can add a slight delay before the reverb effect
starts. This can make instruments such as snare drums sound bigger.
You can adjust the time in 10ms and 1ms increments.
Setting the Reverb Predelay Mix
Button: [EDIT] [EDIT] [100 REVERB]
Page: 8 (5 in Config 2, Send 3)
Parameter: PreMx (IN<99 to 99>DEL)
This controls the balance between the pre-delayed reverb and the straight
reverb. When set to IN<99, you get the reverb with no pre-delay. At
99>DEL you get pure pre-delayed reverb.
Setting the Reverb Input Filter Frequency
Button: [EDIT] [EDIT] [100 REVERB]
Page: 9 (6 in Config 2, Send 3)
Parameter: Inpt Filter (00 to 99)
This adjusts the frequency of the low-pass filter at the Reverb input.
Lower values make the reverb sound darker.
Setting the Reverb Decay Time
Button: [EDIT] [EDIT] [100 REVERB]
Page: 10 (7 in Config 2, Send 3)
Parameter: Decay (00 to 99)
This determines how long the reverb will sound before it dies away.
When using the Reverse Reverb type, Reverb Decay controls the Reverse
Time.
Setting the Reverb Hi/Low Decay Time
Button: [EDIT] [EDIT] [100 REVERB]
Page: 11 & 12 (8 & 9 in Config 2, Send 3)
Parameter: Low Decay/High Decay (00 to –99)
These two parameters set the Decay Time separately for the low and high
frequencies of the reverb. This means that you can make the high
frequencies die faster if the effect is too bright, and being able to make
the lows die faster if its too boomy.
NOTE: This Pre
-Delay is applied to the
Reverb it
self; don’t confuse it with the
separate Delay modules available under the
Delay function.
NOTE: If the selected Reverb type is Gate
or Reverse, the Low Decay parameter is
unavailable.
