Section Two - Using the JT50/JT100

Reverb

Reverb is an effect that simulates the acoustic environment of an actual room. It gives the listener the illusion that the music is being performed in a large or small room. When a sound is heard in a room it reflects thousands of times off of the surfaces in the room such as the walls and the floor. Each reflection reaches the listener at different times. This results in giving the sound a certain warmth and depth. The JT50/JT100 provide two types of reverb to chose from. They are as follows:

Hall Reverb

The Hall reverb simulates the echo chambers used to add reverb to early recordings. The echo chamber was an empty room with highly reflective surfaces. A speaker was placed at one end of the room and a microphone at the other. The source signal was fed into the speaker and the mic would return the rooms ambience to the recording.

Spring Reverb

A Spring reverb is another effect designed to try and recreate the ambiance of an acoustic reverb using an actual spring. The signal was fed in to one end of the spring causing the spring to vibrate. The signal was then taken out of the other end of the spring and mixed back in to the signal.

Level/Type - The Level knob adjusts the volume of the reverb effect.

Reverb Type - The Reverb Type can be selected by pressing the Tap It/Shift button. The Tap It/Shift button will stop flashing indicating the Level/Type knob is acting as a Reverb Type selector. Values below 5 on the Level/Type knob will select the Hall Reverb, and values above 5 will select the Spring Reverb. To exit the Reverb Type selection, press the Tap It/Shift button.

Storing/Copying a Preset

After you have edited a preset, you must save your new sound in order to recall it later. Otherwise the JT50/JT100 will erase the edits that you had made and revert back to the original sound of the preset. You can save your modifications to any one of the 21 user memory locations. When you have made all of the edits that you intend to, and you are happy with the sound that you have created, follow the steps outlined in this section to store your new sound.

Note: Changing presets or turning the power off to the JT50/JT100 before storing your edits will erase all edits that you had made.

To store or copy a preset

1.Press the Store button once. The Store button will start flashing.

2.Use the Bank Select knob to select the Bank that you wish to store your modifications to. Then select the Preset within that Bank where the sound sill be stored by pressing the desired Preset button. The Preset button will light.

3.When the desired Bank and Preset have been selected, press the Store button again. Your sound will be stored and can be recalled every time that you select that Bank and Preset.

To copy a Preset to another Preset location, you must first select the Preset you wish to copy, and then follow the steps 1-3 listed above. To abort the store function, press the Tap-It/Shift button or wait for 5 seconds and Store mode will be exited.
