Application Notes:
1. Since the ‘level’ inside the signal processor increases as fresh input is added, input level must be lower than that recommended for normal use; try -15dB on
the meters.
2. Correct pre-delay (‘loop length’) should be set before creating the eect as attempts to alter this later will usually destroy part of the recorded sound.
3. Remember to return level to ‘0’ immediately after use to avoid noise build-up.
Innite Room
LEVEL control provides 10 level increments of signal input to the ‘innite room’. Return level to ‘0’ after use to avoid noise build-up.
REV button clears memory of unwanted eect.
Preset parameters: On selecting this eect program, level is 0. Please note that no sound will be heard until ‘level’ is increased.
Stereo mix: Innite room is a spacious, full stereo eect.

Alive, Non-Linear and Reverse
PRE-DELAY control sets the delay between the direct signal and the onset of the eect. Maximum pre-delay is 990ms.
PATTERN control changes the density of the reections, with 0 giving a low
density or ‘grainy’ character and 9 producing a high-density eect.
DECAY control sets the length of the eect, from ‘1’ (short) to ‘12’ (long). The display simply shows these increment numbers and is not calibrated in seconds.
LF control adjusts the low frequency content of the eect.
HF control adjusts the high frequency content of the eect.
REV button clears memory of unwanted eect.
Preset parameters:
1. Alive – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 9; decay is 8.3; LF is +0; and HF is +2.
2. Non-Linear – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay is 5.4 LF is 0; and HF is 0.
3. Reverse – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay is 12; LF is 0; and HF is +2.
Stereo mix: All these eects are in full stereo and are completely mono-compatible.
Application Notes:
1. These three eects will nd instant application in any recording studio engaged in contemporary music production, as they allow pronounced acoustical
enhancement without the ‘muddying’ eect of longer, conventional decay envelopes. This makes possible a bright and ‘punchy’ mix. These eects work well on
most instruments but try “Non-Linear” for explosive snare sounds and “Reverse” on vocals.
2. The Alive program produces a more natural, live ambience, which is less coloured than the other two eects and has wide-ranging applications.
Note: The DN780 Alive preset was used to great eect on the snare drum sound for David Bowie & Mick Jagger version of “Dancing in The Street”.
