Dependent on the setting of the decay control, the reverberating sound builds up
for a period of time then suddenly stops - the reverse of natural reverberation.
Again decay settings are not calibrated but may be used for reference.
A pre-delay is selectable before the start of the reverb build up.
Program 10 REVERSE 2
This is another special effects program with two outputs of separate character. One
output has discrete reflections (output 2), the other has a more diffused character
(output 1). Either output may be used but it should be noted that this feature is
designed to offer maximum flexibility, and it is not intended that both variations are
used together as a stereo pair.
Dependent on the setting of the decay control, the reverberating sound builds up
for a period of time and then suddenly stops - the reverse of natural reverberation.
Again, decay settings are not calibrated but may be used for reference.
A predelay is selectable before the start of the reverb build-up.
Unlike REVERSE 1, the output is in stereo and filtering at high frequencies is
available.
Program 11 FREEZE
It has always been possible to select an infinite decay to which further input may be
added on the RMX 16. This was achieved by setting the AMBIENCE program to
maximum decay with high and low filters set flat to zero. This feature has been
made easier to control with the FREEZE program.
The program is controlled as follows:
The only control that is necessary is the decay control. The following settings only
are effective:
0.0 Clear - this setting allows the 'frozen' setting to be released
0.2 Freeze/add - in this position, the program will accept and freeze incoming audio
0.1 Freeze/mute input - in this position the algorithm continues at infinite decay
time, but gates out incoming audio.
Although the above may sound complicated, in practice it is a very easy operation
using the nudge button on decay. By using first and second fingers to switch
between the three values - adding audio when ready at 0.1 and gating out when
the required amount of extra signal has been introduced, very concise control of the
effect is available.
All settings above 0.2 give the Freeze/add condition - therefore the use of the
decay pot is not of much value with this program.
Program 12 ROOM A0
This is the original version of ROOM A1 - shipped with very early RMX 16 units. The
program was later modified to restrain the very top end of the response, which
could be a little difficult with certain program material. However, a number of well
respected users had utilised this program to great effect and have asked to be
given access to it once more.
Controls are as for ROOM A1.
