The Effects and Parameters

Reverb Effects

The MPX G2 Reverb effects provide a full suite of reverberation and ambience algorithms. All of the reverbs are true stereo in that differerent processing is applied to the left and right input signals. Dedicated processing resources are allocated to the reverb effects so that you can always load any reverb into any program, regardless of what other effects are loaded. The MPX G2'sGlobal Reverb function allows reverb tails to ring out through program changes. (See Global Effects in Chapter 5: System Controls.)

The Chamber effect produces

 

 

 

an even, relatively dimensionless

 

 

 

reverberation, with little change in

 

 

 

color as the sound decays. The

 

 

 

initial diffusion is similar to the Hall

 

 

 

effect, but the sense of space and
