36 System 6000 MKII Algorithms
Reverb Type
Range: Normal or Colored
When a Location Type is selected a Reverb type
is automatically set. With the Reverb Type pa-
rameter it is possible to select between the most
natural sounding Diffuse field (Normal) and a
more colored “vintage” Diffuse field setting.
Reverb Diffuse
Range: -25 to 25
This parameter gives you more or less diffusion
than the algorithm designer intended for the giv-
en 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.
Master Early
For control of the Early Reflection part of the re-
verberation, the following parameters are avail-
able.
Decrease – Restriction in Order
Range: 0 to 100 %
Reflection patterns in System 6000 are rendered
to a high order. 1 st order reflections have hit
one surface before arriving at the listener, 2 nd
order reflections two surfaces etc. High order
reflections are often more diffuse than low order
ones. In System 6000 this effect is emulated by
assigning individual diffusion characteristics to
each reflection.
During perceptual experiments, we have found
that reducing particular orders of reflections can
be useful for optimizing the room response to a
given microphone placement. On System 6000
this parameter is called
Decrease or ER Decrease. The 0 % setting will
enable the full response while 100 % is full re-
duction.
Lo Color
Range: -50 to 50
Lo Color adjustment of the Early Reflections
Hi Color
Range: -50 to 50
Hi Color adjustment of the Early Reflections
Early Start
Range: 0 to 100 %
Adjusting the Start time is an efficient way of
getting rid of the first reflections that normal-
ly color the source the most. By adjusting the
Start time, the first reflections are discarded but
the timing of the later reflections remains un-
changed. Therefore this adjustment is typically
more acoustically precise and useful than a nor-
mal Predelay control.
The parameter range limit will be less than 100
% if the Early Stop parameter is set to anything
other than 0 %.
Early Stop
Range: 0 to 100 %
The Early Stop parameter can reduce the later
reflections in the Early Reflections pattern. When
using large location types this can be a useful
parameter to smooth the overall perception of
the room.
The parameter range limit will be less than 100
% if the Early Start parameter is set to anything
other than 0 %.
Levels
Instead of a mix-parameter controlling the wet/
dry signal balance, three individual levels are
available. Overall Input and Output levels are
placed at the Setup page.
Reverb Level
Range: Off to 0 dB
Adjust the level of the Diffuse Field reflections.
Early Level
Range: Off to 0 dB
Adjust the level of the Early Reflections from the
two sources.
Dry Level
Range: Off to 0 dB
Attenuates the Dry signal level on the Output
side thus leaving the Reverb and Early Level un-
affected. Off equals a “kill-dry” setting.
