6.5 REV Effect
The master REV effect is available in the Effects section under page 3
along with its associated parameters.
Reverb Concepts.
A reverb emulates the audio Behavior of spaces. Think of how the sound
reects in a large cathedral compared to a small room and how furniture
absorbs or reects sound. The sound will bounce and reect between the
walls and other elements in the room. These reections arrive at the human
ear at different times and different levels.
6.6 Using the Effects
The audio send controls synth audio routed to the effects and audio sent
between effects. These are controlled in the Mixer pages. The master effect
parameters for each individual effect are found in the effect page. The
master effect settings will apply to all audio sent from a synth or another
effect to that specic effect.
▌ ADJUSTING THE SEND AMOUNTS
1. Open the ‘Sends’ page. Press [Mixer] to Open the Mixer and tap the
[Mixer] button to cycle the pages. Page 2 is the Sends Page.
2. Each synth is represented along with each effect. The 9 Parameter
knobs are used to adjust the amount of audio for each synth that is sent
to the effect. It is good practice to adjust by ear.
3. If required the effects can be chained, and audio routed from one effect
into another. This option is available in the Mixer Page 1. Tap [Mixer] to
select this page. The amount of audio channelled from one effect to
another is set using the bottom 3 parameter knobs.
4. The effect sound will be dependant on the settings in the master effect
itself. The effect settings can be changed in the master effect pages.
These are accessed using [Shift] + [Effects] or [Shift] + [Filter] to cycle
through the 3 effects. The 9 Parameter knobs adjust the settings which
will be applied to all incoming audio from synths or other effects.
