Time: Reverberation time. This controller lets you define how far the echo will
be absorbed, i.e. the time for the reverb to die away. Turning this knob to the
left minimizes the time. You will then only hear the first reflection. Turning the
knob to the right minimizes the absorption, and therefore results in a long
sustained reverberation.
Color: Within certain limits, you can influence the sound characteristic of the
effect. The effect of this controller depends on the used preset. In rooms,
"color" controls the dampening of the highs in the reverb (from dark to bright)
as well as pre-filtering of the signal. The controllers for plate and spring presets
also determine the dampening of the basses.
Mix: This controller sets the mix ratio between the original and the edited
signal. For rooms, you can quite easily move a signal further into the room by
increasing the amount of effect. The last four presets are intended for use in
an AUX channel of the mixer and are set to 100%.
Presets
The presets are primarily sorted by instruments, but you can (and should)
choose which preset you want to use for which instrument.
Delay
This effect is like an echo which delays the signal and repeats it.
Delay: This sets the period of time between the individual echoes. The more
the control is turned to the left, the faster the echoes will follow each other.
Feedback: This adjusts the number of echoes. Turn the dial completely to the
left, there is no echo at all; turn it completely to the right and there are
seemingly endless repetitions.
Mix: This fader determines how much of the unprocessed original sound (dry
signal) is subjected to the echo (wet signal). Application of this effect in an AUX
bus requires the controller to be set to 100% (all the way to the right).
