Midas HD96-24-CC-TP - TC Electronic VSS4 Reverb

137 HD96-24-CC-TP User Manual
TC Electronic VSS4 Reverb
VSS4 is a genuine Stereo Reverb that radically departs from blurry sustain concepts of the past. Based on source-related reections from multiple angles, the precision
of VSS4 is comparable to real-world mono or stereo sources positioned in an authentic space.
VSS4 is your rst choice for spot and close microphone pick-ups as well as synthetic sources. It is not only capable of adding spaciousness, but also distinctive character,
localization and depth to the source. If the reection patterns are too immense for a particular situation, you can tailor it to precisely complement the
material processed.

6 Master Decay (Master Reverb)
Range: 0.1 to 20 sec Adjusts the Master Reverb Decay time. Decay time can be further adjusted using
the multiplier for the following bands: Lo, LoMid, HiMid and Hi.
7 Pre Delay (Master Reverb) Range: 0 to 300ms, Pre-Delay on the complete wet signal including Early Reections.
8 Hi Cut (Master Reverb) Determines the Hi Cut frequency for the Diuse Field part of the Reverb.
9 Reverb Delay (Master Reverb) Determines the delay before the reverb eect begins
10 Reverb Size (Master Reverb)
Adjusts the overall perceived size of the Diuse Field part of the algorithm. Generally, you would
attempt to dene the perceived room size by altering the Decay time. However, with the Size
parameter you can achieve a perceived alteration of the room size thus keeping the Decay time.
The default value is meant as the size that the specic Location Type is intended to have.
11 Reverb Width (Master Reverb) Adjusts the stereo width of the reverb
12 Lo Colour (Master early) Lo Colour adjustment of the Early Reections
13 Hi Colour (Master early) Hi Colour adjustment of the Early Reections
14 Early Start (Master early)
Adjusting the Start time is an ecient way of getting rid of the rst reections that normally colour
the source the most. By adjusting the Start time, the rst reections are discarded but the timing
of the later reections remain unchanged. Therefore, this adjustment is typically more acoustically
precise and useful than a normal Pre-delay control.
15 Early Stop (Master early)
The Early Stop parameter can reduce the later reections in the Early Reections pattern.
When using large location types this can be a useful parameter to smooth the overall perception of
the room.
