Editing Effects: Chapter 7
Reverb
Reverb can be thought of as a great number of distinct echoes, called reflections, that occur so fast that our ear hears them blurred together as one. In nature, different sized spaces give distinctly different sounding reverbs, depending on the size and shape of the space, and the texture of surfaces that the reflections bounce off of. The various parameters in the effects processor make it possible to simulate nearly any natural reverberant space that can be imagined, and a few artificial ones as well.
Reverb (Page 1)
The Reverb function is used to edit Reverb parameters. In all configurations, page 1 of the Reverb function selects what the reverb is “hearing” (i.e., where the input of the reverb is coming from). The source can come directly from the Effect bus, the output of other effects in the chain before it, or a mix of several of them. Example: In Configuration #1, page 1 of the Reverb function (shown above) allows you to select either one or two sources to be routed to the reverb’s input. You can choose from the Delay output, the Delay input, the Pitch output and the uneffected send input (dry signal). You can then adjust a balance between these and set an overall input level.
Input 1
In configurations 1, 3, 4, and 5, there are two inputs to the Reverb. Both Inputs 1 and 2 can select a signal from several locations in the signal chain. Quad Knob [1] can select either the Pitch output or the Delay output as Input 1. If the signal is taken from the Pitch output, the Reverb will be chorused, flanged, detuned or resonating, depending upon which Pitch type is selected. (Note that the delay signal may already have passed through the Pitch module, depending on the Input settings of the Delay module.)
Input 2
By using Quad Knob [2], Input 2 can have as its source either the Pitch output, the Delay output, or the dry effect send signal. If the signal is taken from the Delay output, the Reverb will be delayed by the amount of delay time set for the Delay. If the signal is taken from the Pitch output, the Reverb will be chorused, flanged, detuned or resonating, depending upon
