PCM 80 User Guide
3.7 PhoneOrRoom? ADJUST: Pick One 0–1
Use ADJUST to choose between a mono telephone filter and a small room with stereo
ambience. The Soft Row provides access to the filter controls as well as reverb design
parameters.
3.8 CheapTV Room ADJUST: The Walls 1–10
This stereo preset simulates the sound of a Lo-Fi TV in a small room. Use ADJUST to
change the reflectivity of the walls. The Soft Row provides access to the filter controls as
well as reverb design parameters.
3.9 Empty Stage ADJUST: Liveness 0–100
Made for creating live sounding spaces. ADJUST opens the space to be more reflective
and airy.
4.0 Tomb Room ADJUST: The Walls 1–10
Use this ambience preset to place source material within a very reflective tomb. ADJUST
moves the source deeper into this scary space.
4.1 Comb Room ADJUST: Tone 0–100
This effect provides a tunable comb filter and reverb to produce a highly colored
ambience. Use ADJUST to change the tuning of the comb filter.
4.2 Zoom Over ADJUST: Speed 1–25
Run an effect (or even a continuous synthesizer drone) into this preset, and the sound
will approach you from the center, spread out to the sides as it passes overhead, and
recede into the distance behind you. ADJUST controls the speed of the fly-by. This effect
will image properly in either 2-channel or Surround mixes.
4.3 OneShotCarBy ADJUST: Speed 1–100
Input level triggers this left-to-right drive-by. When signal is detected, it will move from left
to right. Doppler pitch shift is simulated as the image moves across the stereo field. Use
ADJUST to set the speed of the drive-by. Once audio has been detected, the effect will
cycle once. To drive by again, stop and restart the audio track. To reverse the direction
of the effect, set the Width parameter to –45 — you’ll find it in the Soft Row.
4.4 AmbientCarBy ADJUST: Speed 1–100
This is a variation of OneShotCarBy. In this preset the effect is enhanced with the addition
of some stereo ambience. Also, in this variation the effect repeats automatically. ADJUST
controls the speed of the drive-by.
4.5 HeadOn CarBy ADJUST: Speed 1–100
This preset uses less ambience than ZoomOver, and is more appropriate for things that
approach on the road than in the air. ADJUST sets the speed of the effect. This effect will
image properly in either 2-channel or Surround mixes.
4.6 2WayStreet ADJUST: Speed 1–100
Another variation of AmbientCarBy. This preset produces both left-to-right and right-to-
left drive-by effects — like listening to the sound of traffic on a two-way street. The speed
for each direction is slightly different. ADJUST is a master speed control for both
eastbound and westbound traffic.
4.7 IntoTunnel ADJUST: Speed 1–25
This preset simulates the sound of a source approaching you from the side, passing you
and then entering a tunnel. ADJUST controls the speed of the source. To reverse the
direction of the effect, set the Width parameter to –45 — you’ll find it in the Soft Row.
