REVERB, μMOD AND DELAY EDITINGset up to 1800ms (1.8 seconds) of delay for the left andright delay lines here.Tempo: This setting is shown when Tap or MIDI isselected for the Src parameter.There is one setting fortempo in beats per minute (bpm) that is used to derivedelay times for both the left and right delay lines thatis then subdivided by the division set in the nextscreen.L - Beat Div - R: (Left and right beat division) When theSrc is set to Tap or MIDI, turning the Data wheel willreveal this screen allowing you to divide the delaytempo into even or synchopated beats.D2: Delay feedback and cross feedback amountsFBL, FBR: (Feedback left and right) Re-introduces aportion of the audio output signal of the Delay blockback to the input to add repeats.XFL, XFR: (Cross feedback left and right) Crossfeedback returns the delayed audio to the oppositeside’s delay line for ping pong type effects.D3: Low band filteringLowCutL, LowCutR: (Low cut left and right) Removeslow frequencies from the audio delays to constrainthem to a specific band.D4: High band filteringHiCutL, HiCutR: (High cut left and right) Removes highfrequencies from the audio delays to constrain them toa specific band.R0: Reverb Style (Reverb style selection)Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter tochoose a reverb style you like.R1: Decay time and predelay settingsDecayTime: (Decay Time) Sets the length of the reverbtail.PreDly: (Predelay) Introduces a short delay betweenthe dry audio signal and the onset of reverb to simulatelarger spaces and to improve the audio separationbetween the dry signal and the reverb effect.R2: Reverb tail filteringLowColor, HiColor:These are preset filters that tailorthe low and high frequency response of the reverbtails.R3: Room and tail level balanceRoomLev: (Room level) Each reverb style has a preconfiguredshort initial reflection sound that can beboosted or attenuated with this control.TailLev: (Tail level) The “tail” is the long, decayingcomponent of reverb.You can adjust the mix betweenthe tail and the room with this control.Reverb block editing menus R0-R3Reverb is the arguably the most common vocal effect .It can add a spaciousness that softens the abruptbeginnings and endings of lyric phrases. Many reverbtypes are meant to imitate the natural sound of spaceslike churches, clubs and halls but not all. Some reverbeffects are recreations of electro-mechanical effectsmeant to imitate real spaces like plates and springs.Allreverbs are made up of early reflections (rooms), andthe longer reverberant sounds (tails). Commoncontrols are the level of the room (Room Level), andthe level and decay of the tail (Tail Level, ReverbDecay). Additionally, a small delay can be addedbetween the dry voice and the reverb signal (Predelay)that adds clarity. By far the most important control forreverb is the level. One reverb patch can have a verydifferent result for the audience whether it is mixedsubtly, or up front in the mix.35
