REVERB Tab Overview
This tab allows you to configure a global Reverb
style that does not change as you change presets.
This can be useful when you want to, for exam-
ple, change from one Harmony preset to another
for a different interval arrangement yet you prefer
the base Reverb effect to remain.
f GLOBAL REVERB ENABLE
This is the master on/off for global Reverb. When
set to OFF, this is the only parameter visible in the
tab. When turned ON, the full range of Reverb
control parameters becomes visible.
When global Reverb is active, tapping the front
panel Reverb button will turn this effect on or
off globally. As such, reverb will remain on or off
respectively as you load different presets. A pop-
up will appear in the display briefly showing global
Reverb on or off status.
Holding the Reverb button to edit while global
Reverb is active will present the global REVERB
tab from the Setup menu and light the Setup
button.
f STYLE
Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter to
choose a pre-programmed reverb style you like.
f LEVEL
Sets the mix level for the Reverb effect.
f WIDTH
Sets the stereo imaging of the Reverb effect. 0% is
mono, 100% is fully stereo.
f DECAY
Sets the length of the reverb tail from 10mS
to 20 seconds. Note that, due to the complex
nature of Reverb algorithms, a decay time of 4
seconds may sound quiet different from one style
to the next, even when the rest of the settings
are identical.
f LO COLOR / HI COLOR
These are preset-frequency filters inserted into
the Reverb feedback path that tailor the low and
high frequency response and decay of the tails.
Values toward -50 will cut response in its respec-
tive band and a values toward 50 increase re-
sponse.
f HI FACTOR
This allows you to raise or lower the level of the
high band of the Reverb tail independently.
f EARLY REFLECTIONS / TAIL LEVEL
These parameters allow you to attain the right
balance between reflections you would hear
from close surfaces (EARLY REFLECTIONS) with
those from surfaces further away (TAIL LEVEL).
The settings for the early reflections in each style
are slightly different but non-editable.
f DUCKING
When DUCKING is set to ON, the Reverb
block’s output will be reduced while you are sing-
ing. At the end of a sung phrase, the effects return
to the level you set, increasing the clarity of your
vocals while still sounding very “wet”. The amount
of attenuation and attack time for ducking are set
with the DUCKING AMOUNT and DUCKING
TIME parameters further down in this menu.
f DIFFUSE
Also known as Diffusion, this is a very subtle pa-
rameter used to simulate and control the density
of the reflections inherent in real acoustic spaces.
Low DIFFUSE values (-25 to 0) are intended to
