QUICK TUTORIAL

The MClass Mastering effects consists of four high quality sound processors,
suitable for (but not in any way restricted to) use as mastering effects, i.e. to pro-
cess the final mixed output from Reason. The MClass effects can selected as a
Combi (with all four effects chained), or as individual effects. The Factory Sound
Bank contains MClass Combi patches with settings optimized for various mas-
tering and sound enhancement applications. The MClass series of effects con-
sists of the following effects:
MClass Equalizer
This is a two-band fully parametric equalizer, with added high and low shelving
bands and a low cut (rumble) filter. In addition there is a curve display giving
graphic feedback of your settings.
MClass Stereo Imager
This device splits the signal in low and high frequencies (user definable), allow-
ing you to adjust the stereo width independently for the low and high bands. A
typical application is to make the high band wider, and the low band more nar-
row (mono).
MClass Compressor
This is a single-band compressor with features such as sidechain input, “soft
knee” compression, and adaptive release. It also differs from the COMP-01 in
that it doesn’t have automatic make-up gain, allowing for other applications than
simply keeping the level even.
MClass Maximizer
This is a loudness maximizer, allowing you to significantly raise the perceived
loudness without risking clipping distortion. It consists of an input gain section, a
limiter section (with a “look ahead” function), a soft clip section and a level
meter.
BV512 Vocoder
The BV512 is an advanced vocoder device with a variable number of filter bands
and a unique 1024-point FFT vocoding mode (equivalent of 512-band vocod-
ing) for very precise and high quality vocoded speech. By connecting the
BV512 to two instrument devices, you can produce anything from vocoded
speech, singing or drums to weird special effects.
Scream 4 Sound Destruction Unit
This is an extremely versatile sound destruction device, featuring various kinds of
distortion, signal warping and transformation effects. There are three main sec-
tions: “Damage” (where you select a sound mangling algorithm and make set-
tings), “Cut” (a three band EQ) and “Body” (a resonant body or cabinet
simulator, excellent for making the sound come alive).
RV7000 Advanced Reverb
The RV7000 is a high quality reverb processor with nine different reverb and
echo algorithms, ranging from rooms and halls to special effects. The RV7000
also contains an equalizer and a gate section, making it possible to get virtually
any kind of reverb character, including gated reverb.
