the sound is special and some of the latest music styles (e.g. dub & reggae) would hardly be possible
without spring reverb.
Parameters
The reverb effect has the following parameters:
Size:
Defines the size of the room (or the system for the plate and spring). With some low "size" settings, you
can also reduce the distance between the individual reflections. This allows resonance to develop
(accentuated frequency ranges), which can sound oppressive if the reverb sustain is too long. The proper
size for each instrument can be gauged by taking into account the interplay between the room and the
resonance.
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).
