4 NONLIN2 NATIVE User Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your NONLIN2 NATIVE stereo eects reverb.
Originally launched in 1999 and available in Music, Mastering, Broadcast and
Film variants, TC Electronic's Flagship System 6000 processor is recognized as
an industry standard for mix, mastering and post-production applications. You
will nd the System 6000 in literally thousands of world-leading recording, lm,
post and mastering studios all over the world, and in quite a few OB vans and
broadcast production studios as well. The platform has won no less than three of
the prestigious TEC Awards over the years: in 2000 for the original System 6000,
in 2005 for Mastering 6000 and in 2010 for System 6000 MKII. No longer the
preserve of the recording elite, these native DAW plugins will deliver all of the
performance of the iconic original unit combined with modern day convenience.
TC Electronic set about re-imagining the legendary System 6000 as native DAW
plug-ins, without sacricing any performance, character or useability. The Danish
engineers, including many from the original System 6000 team, rened audio
quality whilst staying faithful to the original hardware version. The development
team fastidiously re-engineered these new native plug-ins to oer full support
for standard DAW automation and project recall with new optimized user
interface ergonomics.
NONLIN2 NATIVE Main Features
• Envelope functionality for generating untriggered gated reverb
• Unique 'twist' feature can radically alter the sound
NONLIN2 NATIVE is a unique eected reverb with controllable envelope,
attack and release. Capable of generating compact vocal ambience, dramatic
larger-than-life 80’s drum and percussion sounds, reverse reverb, and completely
Twisted eects, and that famous classic – the gated reverb! Are you looking for
signature sound, this is it!
Compared to typical eect reverbs from the past, NONLIN2 NATIVE features a
longer and more diused response with higher resolution, and classic low-
density processing is also available, but the fun really starts with the Twist
parameter. Twist radically alters the sound often in weird ways. Adding twist
may not always be pretty but the parameter truly is a new spice included to spark
imagination, add character and completely transform any source sound. Proceed
with caution!
From mono to stereo and anywhere in between, you have full control of NONLIN2
NATIVE output, fully adjustable Hi and Low-cut lters help sculpture unique
sounds, especially useful for keeping heavily Twisted processing under control.
Independent input and output levels also help contain headroom to avoid
overloading the outputs if extreme Style and Twist settings are used.
NONLIN2 NATIVE is perfectly suited for a wide range of reverb styles from vocals
to Special FX, especially when extreme character is required. NONLIN2 NATIVE is
also equally suitable for use with a wide variety of content material in music and
post-production, ideal for single sources and buses.
TC Electronic wishes you all the best, and we hope that you will enjoy the
NONLIN2 NATIVE in your audio projects.
