136 HD96-24-CC-TP User Manual
Application Notes:
1. Since the ‘level’ inside the signal processor increases as fresh input is added, input level must be lower than that recommended for normal use; try -15dB on
the meters.
2. Correct pre-delay (‘loop length’) should be set before creating the eect as attempts to alter this later will usually destroy part of the recorded sound.
3. Remember to return level to ‘0’ immediately after use to avoid noise build-up.
Innite Room
LEVEL control provides 10 level increments of signal input to the ‘innite room’. Return level to ‘0’ after use to avoid noise build-up.
REV button clears memory of unwanted eect.
Preset parameters: On selecting this eect program, level is 0. Please note that no sound will be heard until ‘level’ is increased.
Stereo mix: Innite room is a spacious, full stereo eect.
Application Notes:
1. Since the ‘level’ inside the signal processor increases as fresh input is added, input level must be less than that recommended for normal use; try -15dB on
the meters.
2. Remember to return level to ‘0’ immediately after used to avoid noise build-up.
Alive, Non-Linear and Reverse
PRE-DELAY control sets the delay between the direct signal and the onset of the eect. Maximum pre-delay is 990ms.
PATTERN control changes the density of the reections, with 0 giving a low
density or ‘grainy’ character and 9 producing a high-density eect.
DECAY control sets the length of the eect, from ‘1’ (short) to ‘12’ (long). The display simply shows these increment numbers and is not calibrated in seconds.
LF control adjusts the low frequency content of the eect.
HF control adjusts the high frequency content of the eect.
REV button clears memory of unwanted eect.
Preset parameters:
1. Alive – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 9; decay is 8.3; LF is +0; and HF is +2.
2. Non-Linear – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay is 5.4 LF is 0; and HF is 0.
3. Reverse – on selecting this eect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay is 12; LF is 0; and HF is +2.
Stereo mix: All these eects are in full stereo and are completely mono-compatible.
Application Notes:
1. These three eects will nd instant application in any recording studio engaged in contemporary music production, as they allow pronounced acoustical
enhancement without the ‘muddying’ eect of longer, conventional decay envelopes. This makes possible a bright and ‘punchy’ mix. These eects work well on
most instruments but try “Non-Linear” for explosive snare sounds and “Reverse” on vocals.
2. The Alive program produces a more natural, live ambience, which is less coloured than the other two eects and has wide-ranging applications.
Note: The DN780 Alive preset was used to great eect on the snare drum sound for David Bowie & Mick Jagger version of “Dancing in The Street”.
