UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 253 - Chapter 20: EMT 250 Electronic Reverberator
Dry/Wet The Dry/Wet slider control determines the
balance between the original and the pro-
cessed signal. The range is from 0% (dry,
unprocessed) to 100% (wet, processed sig-
nal only).
This control uses a logarithmic scale to provide increased resolution when se-
lecting lower values. When the slider is in the center position, the value is
15%.
Note: If Wet Solo is active, adjusting Dry/Wet will have no effect.
Wet Solo The Wet Solo button puts the EMT 250 into “100% Wet” mode.
When Wet Solo is on, it is the equivalent of setting the Dry/Wet
control to 100% wet.
Wet Solo defaults to On, which is optimal when using the EMT 250 in the
“classic” reverb configuration (placed on an effect group/buss that is config-
ured for use with channel sends). When the EMT 250 is used on a channel in-
sert, this control should be deactivated.
Note: Wet Solo is a global (per EMT 250 plug-in instance) control.
Noise When Noise is active, the noise characteristics of the original
hardware unit are fully intact. Disabling Noise eliminates the
modeled noise characteristics for quieter operation.
Noise is active when the yellow LED is illuminated; it is enabled by default.
Click the LED to change the setting.
The Noise parameter is unique to the UAD EMT 250 plug-in. Noise is dy-
namic to the response of the effect processing, and the noise level differs from
program to program. The noise floor of the hardware EMT 250 may seem a
bit high when compared to modern digital processors, but it adds to the EMT
250’s quirky character.
