Algorithm List
MicSìmulator (Microphone Simulator)
This modifies sound that was recorded by a conventional dynamic mie, lapel mie or direct line, causing it to sound
as though it had been recorded by an expensive condenser mie or a special studio mie. The mie simulator can add
effects of proximity or distance.
Selecting the microphone used for recording.
Input of Mic Converter selects the t)rpe of microphone to be used recording.
DR-20:
Roland DR-20 (dynamic microphone from Roland)
SnalDy:
Small Dynamic Microphone (dynamic microphone used for instruments and vocal)
HedDy:
Head-worn Dynamic Microphone (headset-type dynamic microphone)
MinCn:
Miniature Condenser Microphone (very small condenser microphone)
Flat:
Line input
Microphone types that can be simulated
The characteristics of the low-end general-purpose microphone are converted into the characteristics of the high-
end microphone for studio application. You can add sound Cfuality changes to already recorded sounds just as if
a different type of microphone were used or if they were recorded at a different distance. In addition, it is possible
to add microphone characteristics to line-recorded instrumental sounds. These characteristics can be set up by
selecting the relevant value for Out of Mic Converter.
SmlDy:
Dynamic microphone for general musical instruments and vocal sounds. Ideal for a guitar
amplifier and snare drums.
VocDy:
Dynamic microphone for standard vocal sounds. Characterized in middle frequency band sounds
with tension. Suited for vocal.
LrgDy:
Dynamic microphone with a extended low frequency band. For bass and tom drums.
SmlCn:
Small condeaser microphone for musical instruments. Characterized in bright high frequency
band sounds. For metal percussion and acoustic guitars.
LrgCn:
Condenser microphone ivith flat characteristics. For vocal, narration and live musical instruments.
VntCn:
Vintage condenser microphone. For vocal and live musical instruments.
Flat:
Microphone with flat frequency response. For removing peculiarity of the microphone used for
recording sounds.
*
When a condenser-type mic is selected in OUT, low-range noise transmitted through the mic stand may be
accentuated due to the mic's low range characteristics. In such instatices, either cut out any unnecessary
I
oip
end
with bass cut filter, or equip the mic stand with an isolation mount (a mic holder with rubber or other shock
absorbing material).
Proximity effect of microphone
In nature, a microphone tends to extend the low frequency band characteristics when placed close to the sound
source. This is called proximity effect. This effect can be simulated in Proximity Effect (Prox-Efect). Set the
parameter to a positive (+) value for a shorter distance to the sound source and a negative (-) value for a longer
distance to the sound source. Time of Distance simulates the time difference due to distance from the sound
source.
Controlling Channels A and B separately
Setting Link On enables simultaneous control on the 4-Band Parametric Equalizer via Channel B according to the
settings on the Channel A side. To control Channels A and B separately, turn Link Off.
