RV7000 MK II ADVANCED REVERB588
Overview
The RV7000 Mk II is a high quality reverb processor. It features ten different reverb and echo algorithms, ranging
from rooms and halls to special effects. The Mk II version also incorporates a high-quality zero-latency convolution al-
gorithm, which makes it possible to load sampled impulse responses - and even sample and use your own impulse
responses!
Since the RV7000 Mk II comes with a number of useful reverb presets, you could simply select one and tweak the
most important parameters on the main panel - or you could use the Remote Programmer panel to fine-tune the re-
verb in great detail.
The RV7000 Mk II also contains an equalizer and a gate section. Both of these are for processing the actual reverb
sound, making it possible to get virtually any kind of reverb character, including gated reverb.
About the Patch format
The RV7000 Mk II features programmable effect presets. In the Factory Sound Bank you will find a number of preset
Patches which can be used as they are or provide you with a good starting point for further tweaking.
Patches use the Windows file extension “*.RV7”. Loading and saving Patches is done in the same way as for instru-
ment devices.
! Songs and/or Patches that use Convolution (or have an Impulse Response sample loaded) can not be opened
in older Reason versions. The same goes for Combi Effect patches that contain RV7000 Mk II in Convolution
mode (or with a sample loaded, or with the Combi programmer referencing Convolution parameters).
! Convolution patches that use samples only contain references to the samples - not the sample itself. This is
the way all sampler devices in Reason work.
Connections
Typically you connect the RV7000 Mk II as a send effect, as this allows you to use it for processing several different
mixer channels. However, it’s also possible to use it as an insert effect - use the Dry/Wet control on the main panel
to adjust the balance between the dry, unprocessed sound and the reverb. Note:
D The RV7000 Mk II is a true stereo reverb (except in Convolution mode), which means that it will use the stereo
input information when processing both channels (without summing the input channels).
It’s also possible to use it as a mono in - stereo out effect. Which type of connection to use (mono or stereo in) de-
pends on the material. If the audio sources are in mono (or in stereo but with no important difference between the
left and right channel) using a mono input is sufficient.
D If you want to use RV7000 Mk II’s Reverse reverb effect, you should consider connecting it as an insert effect or
using a Send on the Mixer, with Pre-fader mode selected (and the channel fader lowered).
This is because you typically don’t want to hear the dry sound when using the Reverse effect. See “The Gate sec-
tion”.
