Section 6: Detailed Parameter Descriptions
MULTI-FX | Reverb
VoicePro's Reverb has been tuned for voice applications.
The parameters allow control over the tail and room,
allowing ambiences or spaces to be created. The room
sound of the reverb is created through early reflections.
The room level, shape, and size can be controlled
separately. The tail sound is the decay part of the reverb.
Style
The Reverb Style is essentially a preset for the block. A
style sets all the Reverb Parameters.
Duck Thresh, Release, Attenuation
The ducking feature attenuates the output of the Reverb
based on the level at the input. Setting the threshold at "-
24 dB" and attenuation at "- 60 dB" will ensure the Reverb
sounds are only heard at the end of a vocal line.
TRANSDUCER
The Transducer Block emulates the noise, bandwidth and
distortion characteristics of phones, radios and
megaphones. There are three elements that make up a
Transducer sound. Each element has its own tab: Band
Shape, Distortion, and Noise. The Main Page gives overall
control of the Transducer sound.
Style
The Transducer Style is essentially a preset for the block. A
style sets all Transducer Parameters in all tabs.
Input / Output Gain
The input and output gain for the Transducer can be key in
creating a sound. A perfect example is a quiet person
talking through a phone with its volume turned up. This
requires balance of those controls to emulate the correct
sound for a specific Transducer setup.
Distortion Amount, Overall Noise Level and Band Shape
Enable give Main-Tab access to the most important
parameter from the other Transducer Tabs.
Routing
There are 3 routing choices for the Transducer Block:
"VirtuaLead Only", "Harmony Only", "Stereo Output".
TRANSDUCER | Band Shape
The Band Shape section provides filters to emulate the
bandwidth and resonances associated with various
transducer devices. Additionally, the Frequency Fading
introduces reception anomalies.
Low / High Cut
Use these filters to replicate the band-width limitations of
phones or radios. The filtering is applied before the
Distortion Block.
Presence Gain, Freq, BW
This is a standard parametric filter used to bring out the
resonant frequency of the intended device.
