REVERB Function
The REVERB function is available in all presets.
Reverb is a multitude of echoes spaced so close together that, to the human ears seem as
a single continuous sound. These echoes gradually decrease in intensity until they are ulti-
mately 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 knob will allow you to access these REVERB parameters:
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 accessible 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.
