Alesis QS8.1, QS7.1 manual Reverb Parameters, Chorus Input Level, Reverb Type

Part 6: Editing Effects

The next parameter is only available in Configuration #2 on Sends 1 and 3:

CHORUS INPUT LEVEL

Range of Settings: 00 to 99 Page 1 (Config 2 only, Sends 1 and 3)

If Configuration #2 is selected (refer to block diagram of Configuration #2, earlier in this chapter), the first page of Send 1’s Reverb function will look like this:

There is a unique parameter on this page: Chorus Input Level. It lets you adjust the level of the signal coming from the Pitch output going into the Reverb; otherwise the signal comes purely from the Pitch input. (Note that the signal which reaches the Chorus may already have passed through the Delay module, depending on the Input settings of the Chorus.)

The only difference for Send 3 is that it has no Delay ahead of the Chorus. Otherwise it functions exactly the same as Send 1 in Configuration #2.

The rest of these parameters are common to all Reverbs in all Configurations (except as noted):

REVERB PARAMETERS

Use the [PAGE] button to advance the display through the remaining pages of the Reverb function. But don’t forget that you must also have the correct Effect send selected in order to get at the Reverb parameters. Just a reminder: in Config. #1, they are found only on Effect send 1; in Config. #2, they are found on Sends 1 and 3 (since there are two separate Reverbs).

Here are the parameters you will find on these pages:

REVERB TYPE

Range of Settings: (see below) Page 5

The QS has seven different reverb types, all stereo, each of which simulates a different space or produces a different ambient effect. The different Reverb types are:

Plate 1 & 2. The two Plate reverb types simulate an artificial device known as a Plate. In the early days of recording, Plates were extremely popular because they were almost the only way to provide any sort of artificial ambiance to a recording. The sound of a well-tuned Plate has become quite popular over the years, especially when used on vocal or drum sounds. The tonal characteristics of these two Plate reverbs differ subtly in ways similar to different manufacturers’ plate reverbs.
