RV7000 MK II ADVANCED REVERB

Below are some things to keep in mind when you are working with the Convolution algorithm:
• If you want the impulse response sample to play back exactly like the original, make sure the Decay knob is at
max, the LF Damp knob at zero and the Hi EQ knob at its 12 o’clock position. Also, make sure the Length pa-
rameter is at 100% and the Size parameter at 0.
• The Length value of the impulse response sample is also affected by the Decay knob setting.
If the impulse response sample is quiet at the end, reduce the Length value to cut it off a little earlier. The Decay
parameter introduces a smoother “cutoff” at the end, which might be desirable in many situations.
• Changing some convolution parameters re-calculates the impulse response in real time. Therefore, modulat-
ing these parameters might give unexpected results. Specifically:
Using CV to modulate the RV7000 Mk II in Convolution mode is not recommended.
If you're using the Gate function (see “The Gate section”) in combination with Convolution, we recommend
setting the Decay Mod parameter to 0 (see “Decay Mod”).
Loading impulse response samples
Besides the preset impulse response samples, you can load any other samples into the RV7000 Mk II and use as im-
pulse responses. Loading a sample automatically switches the Algorithm to Convolution.
D Drag and drop a sample onto the RV7000 Mk II panel to automatically load it in the Convolution Algorithm.
Or, do as follows:
1. Click the Browse Samples button on the Programmer panel to set browse focus to the RV7000 Mk II.
Size Simulates the “size” of the impulse response sample, in practice its pitch, in semitone steps. -12 means pitching up
the impulse response sample 1 octave and 12 means pitching it down 1 octave.
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies, making the ef-
fect sound “thinner” and less boomy.
Stereo Mode Determines how the output signal should be presented. Note that the stereo effect is derived from the impulse re-
sponse sample itself. So, the wider the stereo effect in the impulse response sample, the wider the stereo effect in
the output.
Note that if you use a mono impulse response sample, all effects below will be in mono!
Stereo: The input signals are summed and then a stereo effect with a spread of 100% is applied.
Stereo75%: The input signals are summed and then a stereo effect with a spread of 75% is applied.
Stereo50%: The input signals are summed and then a stereo effect with a spread of 50% is applied.
Stereo25%: The input signals are summed and then a stereo effect with a spread of 25% is applied.
Mono: The input signals are summed and then the effect is panned to a centered mono signal (0% spread).
M->S Slow: From Mono slowly panned out to full Stereo.
M->S Fast: From Mono quickly panned out to full Stereo.
S->M Slow: From full Stereo slowly narrowed down to Mono.
S->M Fast: From full Stereo quickly narrowed down to Mono.
Parallel: Individual processing of the two L and R stereo input signals (dual mono).
Predelay Sets the predelay time, i.e. the delay between the source signal and the start of the convolution effect. A negative
predelay masks the start of the sample, so if the sample has unwanted initial transients or silence, these can be “re-
moved”.
Gain Sets the amplification or attenuation of the effect signal.
