Working with ReValver® MK III

The title module

At the top of the graphical interface of the program is a module containing general setup functional­ity, including the Input volume +-16dB adjustment (with pre and post LED indicators),­ Output volume -32dB adjustment (with post LED indicator). The adjustment knobs can automati- cally adjust the input and output volume to 0dB by pressing the “Learn” buttons.

Pressing the gearwheel icon brings up the Options window.

The Title module also hosts the bank & preset management; see below.

Presets and banks

A preset of ReValver MK III is constructed from one or more sub-modules. The signal path moves down the path of modules from top to bottom. If the “signal splitter” has been inserted, the chain is split into two parallel chains until they are merged in the “signal merge module.”

There is no restriction on how to combine modules, as they can be “chained” in any combination (although some combinations are undesirable). The idea is to imitate the behavior and applica­ tion of real-life amps and effect units.

Normally you would find combinations with this order: Stompbox (if any), Amp, Speaker and Effect (if any). An amp consists of a preamp and a power amp, and you may replace a module in the “Amp” category with a combination of a “Preamp” and “Power Amp.”

Presets are organized in “banks.” To select a preset from a bank, that bank must first be selected from the title module at the top of the chain. A bank and preset can also be selected through MIDI command.

To save a preset or bank in a new position, press “New” beside the drop-down menu. You will be asked to name it. When you have entered a name, press the “Done” button or the Enter key. To cancel, press the Escape key.

After you rename a preset or a bank, ReValver automatically saves it.

Pressing “Save” will save the current preset or bank into the currently selected position, overwrit- ing the old.

To import or export a preset or a whole bank, press the “Imp.” (import) or “Exp.” (export) but­ tons.
