Tab. 2.1: Effect presets provided by on-board effects module
Cathedral: A very dense and long Reverb, much like that heard in great cathedrals. Particularly
suitable for solo instruments or voices in slow songs.
Plate: The sound of early Reverb plates. A classic Reverb program for drums (snare) and vocals.
Room: You can clearly hear the walls as they are reflecting the sound. A useful program for inau-
dible Reverb (rap, hip hop vocals) or to make dry recordings of instruments sound natural again.
Studio: This versatile room simulation program generates a very natural ambiance.
Concert: Here, you can create a small theater (Medium Concert) or large concert hall (Large Con-
cert), which are more lively and brilliant than the Studio reverb.
Stage: A wonderful Reverb, for example, to give keyboard pads or acoustic guitars more width and
depth.
Vocal: Rich and dense Reverb with middle Reverb times which gives vocals or other solo instruments
their finishing touch and makes them an integral part of the mix.
Percussion: This dense Reverb is characterized by pronounced early reflections which make it a
natural choice for dynamic signals (drums, percussion, slap bass, etc.).
Delay: This program applies several repetitions or echoes to the delayed input signal.
Echo: Much like the Delay effect, echo repeats the input signal with decaying intensity. However, here
the echoes lose brilliance with each repetition, which simulates the trendy vintage effect produced by
tape echo units that were widely used in the pre-digital era.
Gated Reverb: Phil Collins song In the air tonight made this effect famous: a Reverb is cut off
abruptly after a certain time.
Flanger: An LFO constantly modulates the effect signals pitch by a few cents up and down. Flanger
effects are primarily used for guitars and electric pianos, but there are lots of other useful applications:
voices, cymbals, bass, remixes, etc.
Chorus: Though similar to the Flanger, chorus uses a delay function instead of feedback. Combined
with the pitch shifting feature, the delay produces a very pleasant detune effect. Chorus effects are
used so frequently and in such a variety of applications that any recommendation would mean a
limitation of their use.
