THE EFFECT DEVICES
236
With this algorithm, raising the Decay setting on the main panel will make the re-
verse 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:
| Parameter | 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, de-
pending 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 re-
verb 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 display and try the settings - you will
soon see how it works.
Note also that very high Length settings demand a lot of pro-
cessor 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 indi-
vidual 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 al-
tering the sound depends on the source material.
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”).
