Selecting Reverbs
The 290 has been designed to make reverb selection as qu
ick
and easy
as possible. Reverbs are divided into four
parts:
• Type - Six standard reverbs are available in the 290: Room
, Hall,
Chamber, Plate, Cathedral,
and
Gated.
These are described further
in the Reverb Types Section (page 12).
• Size/Shape - There are three possibilities available:
Small,
Medium,
and
Large.
This parameter changes the overall
size
or volume
(width x length x
height)
of the
room.
It
also affects the reverb
decay setting since smaller enviroments produce shorter decay
times. Larger spaces typically produce longer
decays.
If the Gated Reverb is selected, these buttons choose one of three
different Linear reverb
Types:
1)
......
", , " 11111111 - Reverse
linear reverb.
Gives the illusion that the signal
is being played in reverse since the reverb energy builds up
instead of decays.
1)
111111111111111111111
-
Gated linear reverb. Emulates the sound of a high
energy reverb being cut off by a gate before it has a chance to
decay
completely.
1)
111111111111' 1
0,....
-
Normal linear reverb. Contains lots of energy but
decays quickly, making it ideal for small live room
emulation.
• Reverb Color - There are three ambience colors to
choose
from
:
Dark,
Medium and Bright. This control does more than just make
simple equalization changes to the reverb; it also changes room
damping and high frequency reverb decay roll-offs
.
Each reverb
Type uses its own set of colorations, while the Medium setting is
usually considered the least
colored.
• Reverb
Decay -
Sets the decay time of the reverb and is dependent
on the the reverb Size selection. Let your ears be the judge as to
how much reverb decay you need for your
application.
Simply press the buttons associated with the desired reverb Type,
Color/Shape and Size. The reverb decay Time can be adjusted using the
Decay control at any
time.
The 290 also remembers the last used set
tings even after the unit is powered
down.
