Setup
1) Type Buttons - Used to select one of six different reverb Types. The
LED inside the selected button lights to indicate the current reverb
Type being used.
2) Size/Gate Shape Buttons - Used to select one of three different
reverb Sizes or Gated Shapes if the Gated reverb Type is selected.
The LED inside the selected button lights to indicate the current
reverb Size or Shape being used.
3) Color Buttons - Used to select one of three different reverb Colors.
The LED inside the selected button lights to indicate the current
reverb Color being used.
4) Decay Control - Sets the length of the reverb's decay. Turning this
control clockwise increases the decay time while turning the control
counter-clockwise decreases the decay time. There are 12 different
times available (times are dependent on reverb Type and Size current-
ly selected).
5) Input Level Meters - These LEDs monitor the levels of the incoming
signals which can be adjusted using the Input control.
6) Mix Control - Controls the wet/dry signal ratio. Turning the control
clockwise increases the amount of reverb sent to the outputs while
decreasing the original dry signal heard. Turning the control counter-
clockwise decreases the amount of reverb sent to the outputs while
increasing the original dry signal heard.
7) Input Level Control - Adjusts the level of the sound source being
fed into the 290's stereo inputs. For best signal performance, set
these controls so that -0- LED on the input meter lights occasionally.
If this control is set too high, unwanted distortion may be heard in the
output signals.
8) Output Level Control - Sets the stereo output level of the 290. This
control can be placed in a mirror setting for near unity signal gain
through the processor (e.g. Input Level control set at a 2 o'clock posi-
tion and the Output Level control set at a 10 o'clock position).
