User Manual

TONE – In all Reverb Types, TONE controls the tone or EQ of the reverb

signal, so it’s omitted from the columns of the Summary Chart on the

following page. As this knob is turned clockwise, the sound of the reverb

gets brighter. As you turn TONE counter-clockwise, the sound of the

reverb gets darker.

Alternate FUNCTION parameters

INF LVL – Works as an attenuation control for the infinite/sustain

reverb sound. The default setting is fully clockwise, which corresponds

to no attenuation, or full infinite/sustain volume. The infinitely sustained

reverb volume decreases as the knob is turned counter-clockwise,

reaching zero at fully counter-clockwise.

SEND LVL – Controls the signal level of the FX SEND when the Oceans

12 is in SEND/RETURN FX LOOP mode with a mono setup. See page 15

for details on operating the SEND/RETURN FX LOOP. This is a global

parameter whose value is independent of reverb engine.

LO-FI – Controls the degree of reduction of diffusion and echo density

in the reverb tails. As the diffusion and echo density decrease, certain

qualities of the reverb tail, such as fullness and smoothness, start to

diminish, allowing for creative low-fidelity manipulation of your favorite

reverbs. When the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise, LO-FI turns

off. As the knob is turned clockwise, LO-FI turns on, and the

corresponding LED labeled LF next to the MODE button lights up. The

degree of the LO-FI effect is increased as the knob is turned clockwise.

TIDE – Controls the amount of TIDE effect applied to the reverb output.

When stereo outputs are used on the Oceans 12, TIDE subtly modulates

the pan of the stereo output to gradually evolve the sound stage. When

the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise, TIDE turns off. As the knob

is turned clockwise, TIDE turns on, and the corresponding blue LED

labeled TIDE next to the MODE button lights up. The frequency of the

modulated pan is slowly increased as the knob is turned clockwise.
