Reverb types & Parameters

This is where you can edit the Reverb effects processor.

Room1, Room2,	These Reverbs simulate the reverberation of a
	room. They provide a well-defined spacious
Room3
	reverberation.
	These Reverbs simulate the reverberation of a
Hall1, Hall2	concert hall with a deeper reverberation than
	the Room Reverbs.
	This effect type simulates a plate Reverb (a stu-
Plate	dio device using a metal plate to simulate natu-
	ral Reverb).
Delay	This is a conventional Delay that produces echo
	effects.
	This is a special Delay in which the delayed
Pan Delay	sounds move left and right. It is effective when
	you are listening in stereo.

Seeing that Delay usually only works for one part, use the dedicated Delay processor for echo effects. That way, the Reverb effect can be used to “deepen” the sound field.

Character (0~7)— Character only specifies the Reverb type you need. It does not load preset values for the Pre-LPF~RevPreDlyT parameters. Selecting another Character thus does not reset the other Parameter val- ues to their factory settings. A Macro, on the other hand, calls up a Reverb type and suitable settings for that effect.

Pre-LPF (0~7)— A low-pass filter can be applied to the Tone signal sent to the Reverb to cut the high fre- quency range before it is processed by the Reverb. Higher values will cut more of the high frequencies, resulting in a more mellow Reverberation. Note that this parameter only applies to the signal that is sent to the Reverb effect. If you want to cut high frequencies of the direct Tone signals, use the Equalizer instead (see page 119).

Level (0~127)— This parameter sets the volume of the Reverb effect (or the Master AUX Return signal if you are used to thinking in mixing console terms). Higher values result in louder reverberation.

Time (0~127)— This parameter sets the time over which the reverberation will continue. Higher values result in longer reverberation.

Delay Fb (0~127)— This parameter is only available when you select Character “6 Delay”, or “7 Panning Delay”. It sets the way in which Delays repeat. Higher values result in more repeats.

PreDlyT (0ms~127ms)— This parameter sets the time interval between the original (“dry”) signal and the onset of the selected Reverb effect. Higher values result in a longer pre-Delay time, simulating a larger Reverberant space.

Note: Please bear in mind that any changes you make here apply to all parts that use the effect. Therefore always check what the settings sound like when you play other parts.

Note: Press the [Default Value] field to recall the factory set- ting for the currently active (white) parameter. Press the [oBack] field if you want to select another Macro.

Chorus types & Parameters

Chorus broadens the spatial image of the sound, add- ing richness. You can choose from 8 types of Chorus.

Chorus 1~4	These are conventional Chorus effects that add
	spaciousness and depth to the sound.
Fb Chorus	This is a Chorus with a Flanger-like effect and a
	soft sound.
Flanger	This is an effect sounding somewhat like a jet air-
	plane taking off and landing.
S Delay	This is a Delay with a short Delay time.
S Delay FB	This is a short Delay with many repeats.

Seeing that Delay usually only works for one part, use the dedicated Delay for echo effects. That way, the Chorus effect can be used to fatten the stereo image.

Pre-LPF (0~7)— A low-pass filter can be applied to the sound sent to the Chorus to cut the high frequency range. Higher values will cut more of the high fre- quencies, resulting in a more mellow Chorus sound.

Level (0~127)— This parameter sets the overall vol- ume of the Chorus effect. If only one Tone contains too much Chorus, reduce its Chorus Send value (see page 116) rather than this Level value.

Feedback (0~127)— This parameter sets the level at which the Chorus sound is re-input (fed back) into the Chorus. By using Feedback, a denser Chorus sound can be created. Higher values result in a greater feedback level.

Delay (0~127)— This parameter sets the Delay time of the Chorus effect. Higher values will cause greater deviation in pitch of the Chorus sound.
