REVERB Function
The REVERB function is available in all presets.
Reverb is a multitude of echos spaced so close together that, to the human ear, seem
as a single continuous sound. These echos gradually decrease in intensity until they are
ultimately absorbed by the boundaries and obstacles within a room. As the sound waves
from the sound source strike the boundaries of a room, a portion of the energy is reflected
away from the obstacle while another portion is absorbed into it—thereby causing both the
continuance of sound as well as the decaying or “dying out” of the sound.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these REVERB parameters:
REV INPUT
MIX DIR/DLY
REVERB LVL
REV DECAY
REV HF DAMP
The REVERB INPUT parameter determines whether the input to the
Reverb section is ACTIVE (passing a signal) or MUTED (will not pass
a signal).
The MIX DIRECT/DELAY parameter is used to define the ratio of
direct signal to delayed signal to be input to the reverb section.
The REVERB LEVEL parameter allows you to control the level of the
reverb signal at the output in relation to the direct signal and other effect
signals. This parameter is also accessable from the Mixer function.
The REVERB DECAY parameter determines the length of time that the
reverb signal will sound before it has completely died out.
The REVERB HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter is used to
control the decay rate of high frequency information in the reverb
signal. Higher parameter settings will result in a faster decay of high
frequency information.
