Effect Parameters
Each of the effects has multiple screens containing a particular set of parameters
associated with the effect. The first screen of parameters is very similar for all of
the effects. It selects one of four Effect Variations, which feature various "preset"
patches, allowing you a quick way to access several set-ups within the same
effect. Subsequent screens are variable, and contain pertinent parameters that
provide the flexibility for customizing the effects.
HALL REVERB; 44KHZ REVERB; ROOM REVERB
These effects algorithms provide a highly optimized studio quality stereo reverb.
The BUS1, BUS2, and BUS3 parameters can be routed into the effect with
different wet/dry mixes. HALL REVERB is a reverb with a relatively long
decay, featuring left to right (transverse) reflections. 44KHZ REVERB is a hall
reverb utilizing the 44kHz playback rate (polyphony is reduced to 13 voices).
ROOM REVERB features a shorter, room-like decay.
The parameters available in these three effect algorithms are:
Decay Time
Range: 0 to 99
Controls the amount of time it takes for the reverberation to decay to a very low
level (-60 dB) after the input signal stops.
Low Freq Decay — Low Frequency Decay
Range: -99 to +99
This control will boost or cut the rate at which low frequencies will decay.
Diffusion
Range: 00 to 99
This parameter determines whether the early reflections will appear as a series of
discrete echoes (lower values) or will be more diffuse (higher values).
Hi Freq Damping — High Frequency Damping
Range: 0 to 99
The High Frequency Damping parameter controls the rate of attenuation of high
frequencies in the decay of the reverberation. As natural reverb decays, some
high frequencies tend to get absorbed by the environment. Increasing the value of
this parameter will filter out increasing amounts of high frequency energy.
Hi Freq Bandwidth — High Frequency Bandwidth
Range: 00 to 99
The High Frequency Bandwidth parameter acts as a Low Pass Filter on the signal
going into the reverb, controlling the amount of high frequencies that will pass
into the effect. The higher the setting, the more high frequencies are allowed to
pass.
