Gated Reverb
This eect was originally achieved by combining a reverb with a noise gate.
Ourgated reverb creates the same impression by a special shaping of the
reverbtail.
Gated Reverb is especially eective for creating a 1980s-style snare sound or to
enlarge the presence of a kick drum. (Inspired by the Lexicon 300/480L)
PRE DELAY controls the amount of time before the reverberation is heard
following the source signal. DECAY controls the amount of time it takes for the
reverb to dissipate. ATTACK controls how fast the reection density builds up.
DENSITY shapes the reverb decay tail. The higher the density, the greater the
number of sound reections. SPREAD controls how the reection is distributed
through the envelope of the reverb. The LO CUT knob sets the frequency beneath
which the source signal will not pass through the reverb. The HiSvFr/ HiSvGn
knobs adjust a Hi-Shelving lter at the input of the reverb eect. DIFF(USION)
controls the initial reection density.
Reverse Reverb
Reverse Reverb takes the trail of a reverb, turns it around, and places it in front
of the sound source. Use the swelling crescendo of the Reverse Reverb to add an
ethereal quality to vocal and snare tracks. (Inspired by the Lexicon 300/480L)
Adjusting the PRE DELAY knob adds up to 200 milliseconds of time before the
reverb follows the source signal. The DECAY knob adjusts the time it takes for
the reverb to completely dissipate. RISE controls how quickly the eect builds
up. DIFF(USION) controls the initial reection density. SPREAD controls how the
reection is distributed through the envelope of the reverb. The LO CUT knob
sets a low frequency beneath which the source signal will not pass through the
reverb. The HiSvFr/HiSvGn knobs adjust a Hi-Shelving lter at the input of the
reverb eect.
Stereo Delay
Stereo Delay provides independent control of left and right delay (echo) times
and features high and low pass lters for enhanced tone shaping of the delayed
signals. Use the Stereo Delay to give your mono signals a wide presence in the
stereo eld.
The MIX control lets you blend the source signal and the delayed signal.
TIMEadjusts the master delay time up to three seconds. LO CUT adjusts the low
frequency cut, allowing lower frequencies to remain unaected by the delay.
HI CUT adjusts the high frequency cut, allowing higher frequencies to remain
unaected by the delay. FACTOR L sets the delay on the left channel to rhythmic
fractions of the master delay time. FACTOR R sets the delay on the right channel
to rhythmic fractions of the master delay time. OFFSET LR adds a delay dierence
between the left and right delayed signals. The FEED LO CUT/HI CUT adjusts lters
in the feedback paths. FEED L and FEED R control the amount of feedback for
the left and right channels. MODE sets the feedback mode: Mode ST sets normal
feedback for both channels, X crosses feedbacks between left and right channels.
M creates a mono mix within the feedback chain.
3-Tap Delay
Sometimes called a 3-Tap Delay, the Triple Delay provides three delay stages with
independent frequency, gain, and pan controls. Create time-based echo eects
with the Triple Delay to increase the sense of stereo separation.
TIME BASE sets the master delay time, which is also the delay time for the rst
stage. GAIN BASE sets the gain level of the rst stage of the delay. PAN BASE
sets the position of the rst delay stage in the stereo eld. LO CUT sets the
frequency at which the source signal can begin passing through the delay.
HICUT sets the frequency at which the source signal no longer passes through
the delay. X-FEEDindicates that stereo cross-feedback of the delays is active.
MONOactivates a mono mix of both channels for the delay input. FEED adjusts
the amount of feedback. FACTOR A controls the amount of delay time in the
second stage of the delay. GAIN A controls the gain level of the second delay
stage. PAN A sets the position of the second delay stage in the stereo eld.
FACTOR B controls the amount of delay time in the third stage of the delay.
GAINB controls the gain level of the third delay stage. PAN B sets the position of
the third gain stage in the stereo eld.
Rhythm Delay
The Rhythm Delay provides 4 stages of delay with independently adjustable gain
and rate, allowing unique syncopation to be created in the layered repeats.
TIME BASE sets the master delay time, which is also the delay time for the rst
stage. GAIN BASE sets the gain for the rst stage. SPREAD positions the rst delay
stage in the stereo eld. A global FEEDBACK, LO and HI CUT adjustment are also
available. FACTOR A, B and C adjust the delay rate relative to the global TIME BASE
setting for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th stages respectively. Each stage also has its own
GAIN adjustment. MONO activates a mono mix of both channels for the delay
input. X-FEED indicates that stereo cross-feedback of the delays is active.
