IMPULSE
Parameter
Values Description
Tail
TAIL
Envelope
Gate
Offers a choice of two different types of shaping
for the decay tail of the reverb: By default,
Impulses are loaded at full DECAY (100 %),
which effectively does not apply a Tail shape�
With DECAY values less than 100%, the Tail
function is applied to the Impulse Response�
• Envelope - Applies a decreasing ramp
function to the Impulse to shorten the
length based on the DECAY setting�
• Gate - Abruptly truncates the impulse
based on the DECAY setting�
Direction
DIRECTION
Forward
Reverse
Sets the direction of the reverberation:
• Forward - A standard reverb decay�
• Reverse - A backward reverb decay is heard
following your input signal�
Feedback
FEEDBACK
Affects the amount of wet signal fed back into
the Pre-Delay for added reflections and ring� The
sound achieved with Feedback is very dependent
on the position of the Pre-Delay knob�
Using the Impulse Reverb...
The ability to load IR files provides a virtual endless number of options
for reverb explorations, from traditional spaces to real and imaginary
environments�
Enter the Impulse parameter’s menu to choose from among the selection
of included Factory IR files� (Also, see "Importing and Managing IRs with
Nixie 2���" below�)
Unlike with many simple “IR Loader” units, BigSky MX’s knobs and
additional parameters provide you with a bevy of added options to further
adjust and enhance the loaded IR� Simply use the knobs for traditional
control of Decay, Pre-Delay, Mix, etc� Dive into the PARAM menu to utilize
some of the less traditional options and enhancements, such as Tail,
Direction, or Stretch�
• Choose the Tail parameter’s Envelope or Gate to alter the sonic shape of
your IR decay�
• Change any IR reverb to a “backward” effect by selecting the Reverse
Direction option�
• Utilize the Stretch parameter to lengthen or shorten the IR's inherent
decay tail as desired�
