Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of NuVerb — and welcome to the next generation of effects
processing technology. NuVerb provides the first comprehensive approach to effects creation
and automation, and brings Lexicon's world-class digital signal processing technology to the
exciting arena of the desktop.
NuVerb's graphic interface allows you to create custom programs faster and easier. FX
Automation™ frees you from dealing with effects as static events and lets you enter the world
of true real-time effects processing.
NuVerb provides a palette of sophisticated effects, each containing a wide assortment of
parameters which can be adjusted to customize each sound. Parameters can also be automated
via time code. You can easily create a wide range of effects — from halls and chambers to totally
wild spaces — the possibilities are endless.
The Operating Modes
NuVerb contains two DSP processors which can be configured to run in three different modes:
Single, Dual Mono, or Cascade. All NuVerb programs are designed to run in one of these three
modes. In the Single mode, the two processors are run as a single, unified machine. The Dual
Mono mode assigns one processor to each input. In the Cascade mode, the two processors are
arranged in a chain, so that processor A feeds processor B. This allows for a wide range of
interesting and useful sounds to be created, by mixing different effects together.
