RV7000 MK II ADVANCED REVERB594
When Tap 1 - 4 is selected with the Edit Select parameter, you can make the following settings for the selected delay
tap:
When Repeat Tap is selected with the Edit Select parameter, there is only one parameter to the right in the display:
Reverse
The Reverse reverb algorithm in RV7000 Mk II is special in that it actually “moves” the source audio as well. Sounds
fed into the Reverse reverb are “sampled”, a reverse reverb is created and played back and finally the “sampled” orig-
inal sound is played back. For example, if you feed a snare drum hit into the Reverse reverb, you will hear a rising
“backwards” reverb, followed by the snare drum hit.
Therefore, you probably don’t want to hear the first, original (dry) sound. Here is how to set this up:
D Connect the RV7000 Mk II as an insert effect and make sure the Dry/Wet control on the main panel is set fully
to “Wet”.
Note that with this algorithm, raising the Decay setting on the main panel will make the reverse reverb start earlier
and build up under a longer time. Similarly, the HF Damp parameter affects how fast the high frequencies are built up
in the reverse reverb. In the remote panel, the Reverse algorithm has the following parameters:
Diffusion Raising the Diffusion setting will introduce additional echoes very close to the “main” repeats, causing a “smeared”
delay sound.
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay in the echoes. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies.

Description
Tap delay Sets the delay - the time from the source signal to the tap.
When Tempo Sync is off, the delay time is set in milliseconds (10 - 2000 ms); when Tempo Sync is on you set the
delay as a number of 1/16 notes or 1/8 triplet notes, in relation to the current song tempo.
Tap level Adjusts the level of the selected tap.
Tap pan Adjusts the pan of the selected tap.

Description
Repeat Time Sets the time between each repeat of the whole multi tap set. The number of repeats is set with the Decay control
on the main panel.
When Tempo Sync is off, the repeat time is set in milliseconds (10 - 2000 ms); when Tempo Sync is on you set the
repeat time as a number of 1/16 notes or 1/8 triplet notes, in relation to the current song tempo.

Description
Length This sets the time from when the source signal is fed into the reverb until it is played back again. It is during this
time you will hear the reverse reverb, as shown in the display.
The time can be set in milliseconds or as note values, depending on whether Tempo Sync is off or on.
Note: As stated above, the Decay setting determines the length of the actual reverse reverb - in essence how soon
it starts after the source signal. But of course, the reverse reverb cannot start
before the original source signal! If
you set Decay to a longer time than the Length setting, the reverse reverb will start abruptly, immediately when the
source signal is fed into the reverb. If this sounds complicated, just take a look at the RV7000 Mk II display and try
the settings - you will soon see how it works.
Note also that very high Length settings demand a lot of processor power. This can be reduced by adjusting the
Density parameter, see below.
Density Density governs the “thickness” of the Reverse effect. If this parameter is turned down to zero, the effect produces
individual delays rather than a dense “wash”, which can be used as a special effect. Worth noting is that if Density
is set to around 50%, this can considerably reduce the CPU load without altering the sound of the effect too much.
Exactly how much the Density parameter can be reduced without altering the sound depends on the source mate-
rial.
Rev Dry/Wet Sets the balance between the “moved” source signal (“dry”, low values) and the reverse reverb (“wet”, high values).
Tempo Sync Determines whether the Length setting should be freely set (“off”) or synchronized to Reason’s tempo (“on”).
