RV7000 MK II ADVANCED REVERB599
The Gate section
The Gate section allows you to create gated reverb effects with a lot of options and possibilities. You can either trig-
ger the gate from the source audio signal or via MIDI or CV.
When triggering the gate from the source audio signal, it works like this:
• The gate “listens” to the source (dry) signal and opens whenever the signal reaches a certain threshold level.
• The reverb sound is sent through the gate - when the gate is closed you won’t hear the reverb.
• When the source signal level drops below the threshold level, the gate closes after a time that depends on the
Hold parameter and the level of the source signal (see the parameter table).
D If you need the gate to be open for an exact duration (time), you should trigger it via MIDI or CV.
In audio trigger mode, the actual gate time will vary depending on the source signal.
When triggering the gate via MIDI or CV, it works like this:
• The reverb sound is sent through the gate - when the gate is closed you won’t hear the reverb.
• Whenever the gate receives any MIDI note (sent to the RV7000 Mk II) or a gate signal (connected to the Gate
Trig CV input on the back of the RV7000 Mk II), the gate opens for the duration of the note or gate signal.
Note:
D To activate the Gate, click the Gate Enable button on the main panel so that the indicator lights up.
D To make Gate settings, select “Gate” with the Edit Mode button to the left in the remote programmer panel.
D In this mode, the remote programmer display shows two meters - one showing the signal level (with an indica-
tion of the threshold level) and one showing the status of the gate.
This is useful for checking what happens, how the gate triggers, etc.
