Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects

Making Reverb Settings

These settings allow you to select the desired type of Reverb, its characteristics, and the pair of OUTPUT jacks to which the Reverb unit’s stereo output is routed.

On the Effects General page, set the following parameters.

Reverb Type

Selects the type of Reverb.

0 (Off): Reverb is not used.

1 (Revrb): Normal Reverb

2 (Room): This reverb simulates typical room acoustic reflections.

3 (Hall): This reverb simulates typical concert hall acoustic reflections.

4 (Plate): This reverb simulates a reverb plate, a popular type of artificial reverb unit that derives its sound from the vibration of a metallic plate. You can also achieve unusual metallic-sounding reverbs using SRV PLATE.

Reverb Level 0–127

Specifies the output level of the Reverb.

Reverb Output Assign A–D

Selects the OUTPUT jacks to which the Reverb unit’s stereo output is routed.

Pressing [F5 (Reverb)] in the General page calls up the Reverb page, in which you can make the following settings.

•For Type: 1 (REVERB)

Type (Reverb/Delay Type)

Selects a type of reverb or delay.

ROOM1: This is a short reverb with high density.

ROOM2: This is a short reverb with low density.

STAGE1: This is a reverb with greater late reverberation.

STAGE2: This is a reverb with strong early reflections.

HALL1: This is a very clear-sounding reverb.

HALL2: This is a rich reverb.

DELAY: This is a conventional delay effect.

PAN-DELAY:This is a delay effect with echoes that pan left

and right.

Time (Reverb/Delay Time) 0–127

When the Type setting is ROOM1–HALL2, this adjusts the length of reverberation. When the Type setting is DELAY or PAN-DELAY, this adjusts the delay time.

Higher settings produce a more spacious ambience.

HF Damp (Reverb/Delay HF Damp) *1

Specifies the frequency above which the high-frequency content of the reverb sound will be cut, or “damped.” Lower values cause a greater range of high frequencies to be cut, producing a softer reverb sound. If you do not want to cut the high frequencies of the feedback, set this parameter to

BYPASS.

*1 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3150, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000 Hz, BYPASS

Feedback (Delay Feedback)

When the Type setting is DELAY or PAN-DELAY, this adjust the amount of delay feedback, controlling the number of delay repeats.

Higher settings will produce more delay repeats.

•For Type: 2 (SRV ROOM)/3 (SRV HALL)/4 (SRV PLATE)

Pre Delay (Pre Delay Time) 0.0–100 ms

Adjusts the time delay from when the direct sound begins until the reverb sound is heard.

Time (Reverb Time) 0–127

Adjusts the time length of reverberation.

Size 1–8

Adjusts the size of the simulated room or hall. The size becomes bigger as the value increases.

High Cut (High Cut Frequency) *1

Sets the frequency above which the high-frequency content of the reverb will be reduced. If you do not want to damp the high frequencies, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Density (Reverb Density) 0–127

Adjusts the density of reverb. Higher values result in greater density.

Diffusion (Reverb Diffusion) 0–127

Adjusts the change in the density of the reverb over time. The higher the value, the more the density increases with time. (The effect of this setting is most pronounced with long reverb times.)

LF Damp Freq (LF Damp Frequency) *2

Specifies the frequency below which the low-frequency

content of the reverb sound will be reduced, or “damped.”
