and Reflection controls but has been simplified here for easier use. To simulate a large room, use longer DECAY
settings. For small rooms, use shorter DECAY settings. For more natural sounding reverbs, you may also want to
decrease the DENSITY setting as DECAY is shortened. Ranges from .5 to 23 seconds depending on the Reverb
Type currently selected.
Prim & Secd Decay Controls the length (RT60) for the Primary and Secondary reverberation stages. This Parameter interacts with
the SIZE and REFLCT Parameters. Larger SIZE and REFLCT settings will allow longer reverb decay times while
smaller settings reduce the length of the reverb decays but produce better small environment emulations.
Ranges from .26 to 11 seconds.
Prim & Secd Size Changes the relative room size of the Primary and Secondary reverb stages. Ranges from 1 to 5.
Prim & Secd Reflct Controls the simulation of energy loss of sound each time it is reflected. Hard, smooth materials like glass and
wood have more reflectivity that softer, more porous materials. This control can be thought of as determining
the "liveness" of the room. Ranges from 1 to 10.
Sets the length of time before hearing Delay Group A. Ranges from 0 to 120 milliseconds.
Delay A
Delay B Sets the length of time before hearing Delay Group A and Delay Group B. Ranges from 0 to 120 milliseconds.
Delay C Sets the length of time before hearing Delay Group B and Delay Group C. Ranges from 0 to 120 milliseconds.
Delay D Sets the length of time before hearing Delay Group C and Delay Group D. Ranges from 0 to 120 milliseconds.
Out A - D Controls the output level of the Delay Groups. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Bal A - D Controls the left/right balance of the Delay Groups. Ranges from -99 to 99.
Shape Selects the shape of the output levels for the delay group taps. Shape selections are: Flat, Peak, Decreasing,
Increasing, Shelf, and Reverse Shelf.
Spread Controls the width of the effect's stereo imaging. Ranges from 1 to 10.
FB: Dly Sets the amount of time before the delay is fed back in. Ranges from 0 to 170 ms.
Sets how much delay is fed back into the signal. Ranges from Off to 50%.
Amount
Out L - R Adjusts the overall level of the left/right side of the reverb. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Prim Out L Adjusts the overall level of the left side of the Primary reverb. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Prim Out R Adjusts the overall level of the right side of the Primary reverb. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Secd Out L Adjusts the overall level of left side of the Secondary reverb. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Secd Out R Adjusts the overall level of the right side of the Secondary reverb. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Choruses and Flangers
Both choruses and flangers use a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) to produce their rich, swirling effects. When you change the speed and
depth parameters of modulation effects, you're actually controlling the frequency and amplitude of the LFO. These settings determine the rate
and intensity of the modulation effect.
In general, here's how choruses and flangers work: after entering the module, the source signal is split into two paths. One is
allowed to pass through the module unaltered, while the other is delayed and pitch modulated. The modified sound is then sent to
the output, along with the original. In Fig. 4-1 below, a sine wave is used to modulate the pitch of the split sound source.
