Tapco MIX.FX MIX10FXP - Manual (Page 21)

No. Title Description Example of its use
1 ROOM 1 This room has a bright tone with lots of
scattered refl ections to simulate harder,
more refl ective surfaces. Useful on vocals that require a
brighter reverb to cut through
the mix, or for giving acoustic
instruments a livelier vibe.
2 ROOM 2 This preset features a medium sized
room/lounge sound, with just enough
enhancement of the lower mids to
produce a warm tone. Useful for vocals on songs that
require a larger, more “wet” sound,
or for giving dimension to bright
horns without adding harshness.
3 ROOM 3 This preset simulates the sound of a small
concert stage, with a medium reverb time
and reverberant space. Useful for vocals or guitars in fast
paced, high-energy songs that call
for a “live” sounding reverberation.
4 ROOM 4 This reverb has a warm bodied tone and
medium long reverb time to simulate the
live acoustics of a theater space. Perfect for vocals, drums, acoustic
and electric guitars, keyboards, and
more.
5 HALL 1 This reverb simulates the sound of a
spacious, yet cozy, heavily draped and
carpeted concert hall with an especially
warm tone. Perfect for adding natural concert
hall ambience to close-mic’ed
orchestral instruments.
6 HALL 2 This hall reverb is characterized by its large,
spacious sound, long pre-delay, and
vibrant tone. Adds life to acoustic instruments
and vocals from solos to full-on
symphonies and choirs.
7 PLATE This preset emulates vintage mechanical
reverberation that was generated with a
metal plate. Its sound is characterized by
lots of early refl ections and no pre-delay. Perfect for thickening percussive
instruments, such as a snare drum,
or tight vocal arrangements.
8 CATHEDRAL This reverb emulates the extremely long
tails, dense diffusion and long pre-delays
and refl ections that would be found in a
very large, stone walled house of worship. Gives amazing depth to choirs,
wind instruments, organs, and soft
acoustic guitars.
9 CHORUS This preset provides a soft, ethereal
sweeping effect that is useful for
thickening and for making a particular
sound pop out of the mix. Perfect for enhancement of electric
and acoustic guitar and bass, or to
add a dramatic effect to vocals,
particularly group harmonies and
choirs.
10 CHORUS + REVERB This preset perfectly combines the chorus
effect above with a large, roomy reverb. This lets you both thicken your sound
with the chorus effect while adding
warmth and spaciousness thanks to
the smooth reverb.
11 DELAY 1 (50 MS)
DOUBLER
This effect simulates the sound of a vocal
or instrument being recorded twice
(double tracked) on a multi-track recorder. Provides a vibe that is similar to
chorus without the subtle swirl.
12 DELAY 2 (180 MS)
TAPE SLAP
This effect provides a single, relatively rapid
delay of the original signal, with the added
warmth that vintage tape-based echo
units provided. Often used on vocals for a 1950’s
era feel, or on guitars for a surf-type
tone. Often used by people whose
favorite number is 12.

DELAY 3 (300MS)
DELAY 4 (380MS)
DELAY 5 (480 MS)
These delay presets provide three repeats
of the original signal. The default delay
time for each preset is shown in ms - the
smaller the time, the faster the delay. These work best with full, up-beat
music like rock where the delay
needs to cut through the mix.
16 REVERB + DELAY
(250MS) This effect combines the Room 4 reverb
effect with the echoes of the 3-repeat
delay effect. Perfect for thickening vocals while
adding dimensions, it can also be
used as a spacey effect on electric
guitars.
17 PUNK (probably
not available) Turns all lyrics into those of teenage
rebellion about never having a nice
girlfriend/car/dad/mom/school/job. Perfect for spelling bees and
primary school concerts.
