Working with Internal Reverb

The Reverb function of the NSPIRE module is designed to provide additional ambience to the drum sound. You are able to create
complete sound banks in the BFD Eco NFUZD Edition software with sounds that include actual recorded ambiance in addition to the
digital reverb.
The NSPIRE onboard Reverb unit is designed to work like any other reverb unit that you would find with most mixers and PA systems. The
REV level in the F1 (REV) section of the Kit page is the return amount for all of the individual kit piece reverb settings. Each channel has its
own send amount (KIT/INST/EDIT) to this reverb unit. See page 22 for details on channel reverb sends.
When you create that ideal set in BFD Eco NFUZD Edition you need to understand that using a shorter ambience/reverberation time in the
software helps keep the clarity of your drum sound in a live setting. You can use the internal REV (reverb) settings to add a bit more when
needed. These values will be saved inside the User Kit.
In a live playing situation a very large reverb tail will remove a lot of detail in your drum sound. This is because while it may sound great in
the headphones, or in your small drum room, the hall your are performing in will also add a different amount of natural reverberation and
decay. For that reason, we provide you the additional Reverb unit inside the NSPIRE Module. You can use this to quickly tweak your sound
in the environment you are performing in. Keep in mind that almost every modern mixing board includes additional reverb.
In a studio you will want to make sure the reverb off. Leave the final reverb for the mix session of the tune you are working on in
the studio.
* Note: The total amount of reverb available is limited so as not to sacrifice the quality of the sound samples. Your front of house sound
system will almost always add additional reverb if you desire.
