Program 2 ROOM A1
This program is designed to replicate a 'live' room with all the attendant
colourations.
Decay time should be kept short for most realism (to 1 or 2 seconds), and a high
degree of high frequency damping sounds best (say -7,-8). Low frequency
equalisation is not provided for this program.
Colouration is made deliberately high to simulate standing waves in real rooms. All
types of material are suitable for this program. Pre-delay to 300 milliseconds is
selectable.
Program 3 HALL C1
This hall program has strong initial reflections thus defining the size of the hall
distinctly, giving high presence, making it very useful for vocals.
For example: for 'topping up' material already recorded in halls, a more neutral
program such as Ambience is recommended, to avoid two possibly conflicting sets
of early information.
Control of both high and low frequency profiles is provided as in program 1 above.
Program 4 PLATE A1
This is a program with high diffusion, similar to that produced by plate
reverberators.
Percussive sounds are rapidly smoothed with this program. Colouration is medium
and decay even, as with standard plate reverberators.
Decay times of up to 5 seconds are useful for normal use, and above for special
effects.
Indicated decay times are accurate to about 5 seconds, but it should be noted that
perceived delay time will depend greatly on the frequency spectrum of the input
program material referred to the filter settings. Pre-delay of up to 300ms is
selectable.
Control of high and low frequency decay times is available.
Program 5 HALL B3
This program is similar to Hall C1, but has lower energy initial reflections.
Pre-delay of up to 200ms is available.
Control of both high and low frequency equalisation is available.
Program 6 CHORUS
This is a five voice program which is very useful for 'filling out' voices and certain
instruments.
The five voices are panned across the stereo image and are separated from each
other by randomised delays operating on each voice. In addition, a basic separation
is also selectable to bring the voices 'closer' together or to 'spread out' the image in
time and space.
The program is controlled as follows:
The PREDELAY control affects the separation of the voices, as described above. The
nudge control increment in steps of 1ms instead of the normal 10ms because of the
