Program 1 AMBIENCE
This program is a very useful and flexible general purpose program with an effect
somewhere between a hall and a plate. It is useful for increasing reverberation time
on material with existing reverberation, or producing unobtrusive reverberation on
dry material.
It differs from a hall in that dimensional elements are deliberately minimised, and
differs from a plate in its lower coloration.
Pre-delay to 200ms is selectable and low and high frequency profiles can be
modified.
Two special features of the program are that a setting of 9.9 on the decay controls
gives an almost infinite decay time, and if the filters are set to their zero positions,
the decay continues with all original harmonic information without air absorption
simulation. This allows voices to be added into the sound one at a time to create a
“choir” effect. This can also be described as a 'freeze' setting and can be initiated by
selecting 'pot' on the decay control and rapidly turning from minimum (0.0) to
maximum (9.9) settings as the sound you wish to 'freeze' occurs.
CAUTION
Since internal multiplying parameters are unity in this mode, after a long period of
time in this condition - several minutes, or tens of minutes - the output dynamic
range may limit due to very small DC offset voltages building up. The overflow LED
will illuminate to show this. The condition is simply cleared by returning the decay
setting to zero momentarily. In any case the effect is available for ample time for all
useful purposes without problem.
