VSS™GATE

Gate Type

(Level, Decay, Both) Selects what the Gate shall work on: Level takes down the Output level like a normal gate. Decay rolls off the Decay time according to the Gate Decay setting, but leaves the Output level unattached. Both will do Output level roll off and Decay roll off at the same time.

Decay

(0.01 - 20s) The Decay time of the Reverb. Usually associated with the time it takes the Reverb tail to decay 60dB. This is the overall Master Decay for the four band Decay parameters. (found in the REVERB section below) who are multiples of this base Reverb time.

Early Lev

(-100dB - 0dB) The Output level of the Early Reflections. When Early Lev is set to off the Reverb effect will consist entirely of Reverb “tail”.

Rev Lev

(-100dB - 0dB) The Output level of the Reverb tail. When Rev Lev is set all the way off the effect will consist entirely of early reflections.

Mix

(0% - 100%) Wet/Dry mix. Can be frozen at 100% on the I/O menu.

Out Level

(-100dB - 0dB) The overall Output level of the entire Reverb. This is mostly used when the two Engines are set in serial mode, or used in the Combined mode.

Rev Delay

(0 - 200ms) A delay to the tail of the Reverb. Adds additional time between the Early Reflections and the onset of the “tail” of the reverb.

Pre Delay

(0-200ms) A delay placed at the Input of the algorithm. This sets how long after the dry sound the Early Reflections will begin.

Hi Color (available in easy mode only)

Adjusts the spectral balance in the high end frequencies This is actually a simple way of adjusting a complex selec- tion of frequencies.

Lo Color (available in easy mode only)

Adjusts the spectral balance in the low-end frequencies

A simple way of adjusting a complex selection of frequen- cies.

Expert mode

Press OK to gain access to the following additional parameters.

Note: Hi Color and Lo Color is not available in this mode.

Early Reflections

Early Type

(Several types) Pick the type that best compliments your material or best represents the effect you are going for.

Early Bal

(-100dB R, center, -100dB L) The left/right balance of the Early Reflections. Allows you to offset the Early Reflections from the normal center position.

Color

(±50) Adjust the spectral balance of the Early Type.

Low Cut

(20Hz - 400Hz) This adjustable filter removes low frequencies for the Early Reflections.
