Introduction
NonLinisanEffectReverbwithcontrollableEnvelope,
Attack,HoldandRelease.Itiscapableofgenerating
compact Vocal Ambience, dramatic eighties drum and
percussion sounds, Reverse Reverb or completely new
and twisted effects. Nonlin also does classic Gated Reverb,
butbecauseitdoesn’tneedtobetriggered,itcanbeused
on all sorts of program material.
The eighties with a Twist
Compared to effect Reverbs from the past, Nonlin features
longer and more diffused response with a higher resolution,
but classic, low density processing is also available.
However, there is more to updating a classic than free
Envelope,selectableresponseandhigherresolution.
NonLin also features a Twist parameter, which radically
alters the sound, sometimes in weird ways. Adding Twist
may not always be pretty, but the parameter truly is a new
spiceincludedtosparkimaginationandstorytelling,and
which can be used to add character to any source of a mix.

Pre Delay
Range:0-500ms
PreDelayoffsetstheOutputandtimingoftheEnvelope
Generator. It is typically used to obtain depth and definition
in a mix, or align the effect with a musical beat. Delays
in the 10-40 ms range can be considered for percussive
sounds,whiledensevocalslapeffectscoulduse70-150
ms of Pre Delay.
Attack
Range:0-500ms
SetstheAttacktime(=buildup)oftheReverbEnvelope.
Max. range for this parameter depends on the Hold
and Release settings.

obtained at short Release settings.

Reverb Style
SelectsthebasicReverbStylesubjectedtotheEnvelope
and Twist modifications. The Style parameter should be
seen as an algorithm selection inside the algorithm.
Different Styles have different features with regards to
density, diffusion type, spectral response, stereo image etc.
Choose one that suits your program material.
