…and one regarding the Reverb function and Sends 2 through 4
If Configurations 1 or 3 are selected and you press [10] to select Effect send 2, you
will see the various parameters that deal with the amount and type of signal going
into the Reverb from Send 2. Note that there are now only 4 pages available, since the
actual parameters for editing the Reverb itself are found back on Effect send 1.
Press [20] to select Send 3 and you will have the same options that you had for Effect
send 2, but now the parameters adjust the amount and type of signal going into the
Reverb from Send 3.
If you press [30] to select Send 4, you will have only two pages available. Page 1
controls the Balance between the Delay output and the dry Effect send signal, while
page 2 controls the overall input level to the Reverb.
The situation is similar for the other Configurations: on Sends 2 through 4 you will
have the ability to adjust only what those Sends will be sending into the shared
Reverb, not the Reverb itself. (Naturally, Configuration #2 is the exception again,
since it has a separate Reverb available for Sends 3 and 4.)
And remember that some Configurations don’t use some Sends, so you won’t see
any parameters related to Reverb there.
The next three parameters are not available in Configuration #2:
INPUT 1
Range of Settings: Delay Out/Chorus Out Page 1 (Config. 1, 3, 4 and 5)
In Configurations 1 and 3, there are two inputs to the Reverb. Both Inputs 1 and 2 can
select a signal from several locations in the signal chain. You can select either the Pitch
output or the Delay output as Input 1. If the Pitch output is chosen, the signal going
into the Reverb will be chorused, flanged, detuned or resonating, depending upon
which Pitch type is selected. If the Delay output is chosen, note that the signal which
reaches the delay may already have passed through the Pitch module, depending on
the Input Balance settings of the Delay module.
INPUT 2
Range of Settings: Pitch Out/Delay In/Send Page 2 (Config. 1, 3, 4 and 5)
Input 2 can have as its source either the Pitch output, the Delay input, or the dry
Effect send signal. If the signal is taken from the Delay Input (which is a point after
the Delay Input Balance), then the signal will be a blend between the Pitch Output
and the dry Send. If the signal is taken from the Pitch output, the signal going into
the Reverb will be chorused, flanged, detuned or resonating, depending upon which
Pitch type is selected. If the signal is taken from the Effect send, the Reverb will
receive direct, uneffected signal.
INPUT BALANCE
Range of Settings: <99 to <0> to 99> Page 3 (Config 1, 3, 4 and 5)
This allows you to control the balance between Reverb Inputs 1 and 2 and therefore
control the blend between the various input sources. This makes it possible to have
the signal come into the Reverb from the Pitch section, the Delay section, or the direct
Effect send in any combination or amount.
