VSS™SR - SURROUND

Early Bal
(-100dB R, Center, -100dB L) the left/right balance of the
Early Reflections. Allows you to offset the Early Reflections
from the normal center position.

Hi Color
(±50) Adjusts the spectral balance of the Early Type.
The Hi Color parameter is actually an advanced Hi Cut
parameter. The default setting of this parameter is customized
to each of the Early Types.

Lo Cut
(20 - 400Hz) This adjustable filter removes low frequencies
for the Early Reflections.

Reverb Tail

Rev Type
(Smooth, Natural, Metal, Fast, Fast WD) Adjust this
parameter with the Early Lev turned all the way off and the
Rev Lev all the way up. Change the type to get a feel of what
each one sounds like.

Rev Depth
With this parameter you can change the depth of the reverb
tail.

Diffuse
(±50) This parameter gives you more or less diffusion than
the algorithm designer intended for the given Decay time.
For optimum performance the diffusion is automatically
adjusted behind the scenes whenever you change decay
times. This parameter gives you the added control to vary the
diffusion around this automatic setting.

Hi Cut
(20 - 20kHz) Rolls off the top end as it enters the Reverb tail.
Used in conjunction with Hi Soften and Hi Decay to
"darken" a room.

Hi Soften
(+/-50) Hi Soften is a special filter used to "soften" the high
frequencies of Reverb tail. This is not a simple Hi Cut filter
but a complex set of filters working together to remove those
frequencies that make a reverb sound "brittle" or harsh
sounding. Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the Hi Cut and
Hi Decay parameters.

Hi Decay
(0.01 - 2.5) Multiplier for the frequencies above the Hi Xover
frequency. Example: If the main Decay parameter is set to
2.0 sec and the Hi Decay parameter is set to 1.5, frequencies
above the Hi-Xover will decay for 3.0 sec. Conversely if this
parameter is set to 0.5 the Decay time above the Hi Xover
point will be 1 sec.

Hi Xover
(500Hz - 20kHz) sets the frequency at which the transition
from the mid frequencies to the high frequencies takes place.

Mid Decay
(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the mid
frequencies. This parameter is normally set to 1.0 as it is the
main parameter adjusted by the main Decay parameter. This
mid-range decay control would normally be omitted,
however, TC Engineers felt you could use this parameter as a
fine adjustment tool to “tweak” a preset to sound just right
without having to adjust the master Decay parameter.

Mid Xover
(200Hz - 2kHz) Sets the frequency at which the transition
from the low-mid to the mid frequencies takes place.

Lo mid Decay
(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the low-mid
frequencies

Lo Xover
(20Hz - 500Hz) Sets the frequency at which the transition
from the low to the low-mid frequencies takes place.

Lo Decay
(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the low
frequencies.

Lo Damp Freq
(20Hz - 200Hz) Sets the Lo Cut frequency for the next
parameter, Lo Damp. Use these two parameters to take away
any objectionable low frequencies entering the Reverb tail
processor.

Lo Damp
(-18dB - 0dB) Sets the amount of cut in dBs. Used with the
previous parameter, Lo Damp Freq.
