NONLIN-1 M5000

This is a brief description of the NONLIN-1 parameters. With the NONLIN-1 algorithm a

number of gated reverb type sounds and non-linear rooms can be created. By non-linear rooms

we mean reverb sounds that cannot be made by any real room equivalent. A non-linear

example typically has a fast build-up and sudden decay reverb, very useful for drum work.

Another is that of a 'reverse room' by making a gradual build-up and sudden decay. The

NONLIN-1 algorithm features 3 powerful controls for shaping the dynamics of the reverb

pattern: ATTACK, HOLD and RELEASE as well as selection of the underlying reflection

pattern; DIFTYPE, density control; DIFFUSE, plus stereo width and color controls. Please

note that unlike a reverb plus a gate/expander device, this algorithm is completely level and

time independent, i.e. each drumbeat gets identical and independent reverb 'tails' added,

regardless of the level or how fast the beats are played in succession. The 'secret' behind this

is the powerful M5000 initial pattern capabilities. The basic effect is produced by a very long,

shapeable non-recirculating pattern of reflections. The diagram below is an addition to the

signal flow diagram found in the "BASIC ALGORITHMS" module, page 2.

EDIT PARAMETERS:

PAGE 1:

MIX 0 - 100 % Sets the mix between dry and wet signal.

100 % = effect signal only. Mix can be

set to 100 % globally in the G-LEVELS-

menu under UTILITY. Set MIXMODE

WET=MAX

and all dry signals are

"killed" regardless of preset mix settings.

INLEV off - 0.0 dB Sets the level of the input to the program

in 0.5 dB steps. The function of the

control is to maximize dynamic range.

Please note that this control is positioned

after the input PPM meter, and will not

affect the input PPM reading, also if

using an analog input, make the analog
