2.11 Internal Eects
The M32R contains over 60 internal eects that can be applied to each of
the input channels, either as inserts or as sends and returns. Access the
internal eects by pressing the EFFECTS button next to the Main Display.
The functionality for each of the eects is detailed below.
Note - for information on routing channels to the FX processors,
see Chapter 2.5 Eects.
Hall Reverb
Classic Hall Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs when sound is
recorded in medium- to large-sized convert halls. Use the Hall Reverb to give your
mix a lush , three-dimensional quality that will make your performance sound
larger than life. Inspired by the Lexicon Hall.
The PRE DELAY slider controls the amount of time before the reverberation
is heard following the source signal. DECAY controls the amount of time it
takes for the reverb to dissipate. SIZE controls the perceived size of the space
being created by the reverb eect. The DAMP slider adjust the decay of high
frequencies within the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the initial reection
density. SHAPE adjust the contour of the reverberation envelope.
LO CUT and HI CUT function as Low- and High-Cut lters. BASSMULT multiplies
the bass frequencies and MOD SPEED adjusts the speed of the eect’s modulation.
SHAPE adjust the contour of the reverberation envelope.
Ambience
Ambience creates a customisable virtual acoustic space in which to place the
elements of a mix. Use Ambience to add warmth and depth without colouring
the direct sound. Inspired by the Lexicon Ambience Algorithm.
PRE DELAY sets the time before the reverb follows the source signal. DECAY adjusts
the time it takes for the reverb to completely dissipate. SIZE controls the room size
emulation. DAMPING controls the high-frequency decay within the reverb tail.
DIFFUSE controls the initial echo density. The level sets the volume output of the
aected signal. LO CUT aects the low frequency cut, allowing lower frequencies
to remain unaected by the reverb. HI CUT aects the high frequency cut, allowing
higher frequencies to remain unaected by the reverb. MOD adjusts the level of
reverb decay modulation. TAIL GAIN adjusts the volume of the reverb tail.
Rich Plate Reverb
Rich Plate Reverb was originally created by sending a signal through a transducer
to create vibrations on a plate of sheet metal which were then picked up as an
audio signal. Our algorithm simulates that sound with high initial diusion and a
bright-coloured sound. Inspired by the Lexicon Plate Reverb.
The PRE DELAY slider controls the amount of time before the reverberation is
heard following the source signal. DECAY controls the amount of time it takes for
the reverb to dissipate. SIZE controls the perceived size of the space being created
by the reverb eect. The DAMP slider adjust the decay of high frequencies within
the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the initial reection density.
LO CUT and HI CUT function as Low- and High-Cut lters. BASSMULT multiplies
the bass frequencies and MOD SPEED adjusts the speed of the eect’s
modulation. SHAPE adjust the contour of the reverberation envelope.
The SPIN parameter sets the amount of random modulation for the reverb
tail. The parameters Echo / EchoFeed set the parameters of a feedback delay
at the input of the reverb (independant for both input channels). Echo sets
the delaytime and EchoFeed the amount of feedback (positive or negative).
This allows to further increase the reection density of the reverb.
Room Reverb
Room Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs when sound is recorded in
a small room. When you want to add a bit of warmth and just a touch of reverb,
the M32’s Vintage Room breathes life into close-miked guitar and drum tracks.
Inspired by the Lexicon Room Reverb.
The PRE DELAY slider controls the amount of time before the reverberation is
heard following the source signal. DECAY controls the amount of time it takes for
the reverb to dissipate. SIZE controls the perceived size of the space being created
by the reverb eect. The DAMP slider adjust the decay of high frequencies within
the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the initial reection density. SHAPE adjust
the contour of the reverberation envelope.
