RV7000 MK II ADVANCED REVERB593
Echo
This is an advanced echo effect, with diffusion controls and tempo sync. When Echo is selected, the Decay control on
the main panel controls the echo feedback (the number of echo repeats). The parameters are:
Multi Tap
The Multi Tap delay produces up to four different delays with separate delay times, panning and level. The whole set
of four delay taps can then be repeated at a given rate. Again, the Decay control on the main panel controls the feed-
back (the number of repeats for the whole multi tap set). All delay times can be tempo synced.
Note: this algorithm is handled a bit differently since you make separate settings for each delay tap:
• The parameters to the left of the display are common for all taps.
• You use the Edit Select parameter in the top right corner to select which tap to make settings for - the three
parameters below affect the currently selected tap.
Tap 2 selected for editing.
• You can also set Edit Select to “Repeat Tap” - this is where you specify the repeat time for the whole multi tap
“package”.
With short Repeat times, the first tap may be repeated before the last tap has sounded. This can be used to create
very complex multiple delay effects.
The common parameters (to the left) are:

Description
Echo Time Sets the time between each echo.
When Tempo Sync (see below) is off, the echo time is set in milliseconds (10 - 2000 ms); when Tempo Sync is on you
set the echo time as a number of 1/16 notes or 1/8 triplet notes, in relation to the current song tempo.
Diffusion When this is set to 0, the echo will sound as a standard delay with clear, precise repeats. Raising the Diffusion setting
will introduce additional echoes very close to the “main” echo repeats, causing a “smeared” echo sound. This will also
expand the echo stereo image.
Tempo Sync Determines whether the echo time should be freely set (“off”) or synchronized to Reason’s tempo (“on”).
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay in the echoes. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies.
Spread Adjusts the spacing of the additional echoes added by the Diffusion parameter. For a very smeared echo (sound more
like a reverb), set both Diffusion and Spread to their maximum values.
Predelay Sets an additional delay time before the first echo repeat.

Description
Tempo Sync Determines whether the delay times and repeat times should be freely set (“off”) or synchronized to Reason’s
tempo (“on”).
