TC8210-DT User Manual LO COL DECAY The LO COL (low color) parameter affects the low frequency content of the processed signal. By increasing the LO COL parameter, you will hear a resulting increase in the low frequency content of the reverb. By contrast, reducing the LO COL parameter value will result in a decrease in the low frequency content of the reverb. The Decay time is the main parameter for the TC8210 reverb.
TC8210-DT User User Manual EARLY/REV The EARLY/REV parameter makes the TC8210 very flexible by giving access to setting the mix amount of the Early Reflections and the diffuse Reverb tail. EARLY/REV set to 0 mutes the Reverb tail, and set to 99 mutes the Early Reflections, and 50 sets identical output gain on both. From 10 though 90 each increment changes the gain by 0.5 dB. Outside this range, the gain steps are approxmately 3 dB each.

The desired option can be selected using the mouse by click-and-dragging on the red numeric value, while moving the mouse. Alternatively, click and hold the current option (in white text), and select the other option from a small drop-down menu.
TC8210-DT User User Manual 5. Presets The TC8210 offers a collection of default and signature presets, as well as the option to create and save your own custom settings. Note that most DAWs have a built-in preset function that appears on every plug-in, which is often found at the top of the plug-in window. It is not recommended to use this as your primary method of saving presets, because it has limited functionality and does not allow the saved presets to be transferred easily to other DAWs.
