  • Page 2 The entire digital processing system is contained on a single chip, developed by the Alesis design team specifically for the MICROVERB III. Using high speed complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) silicon processing, the MICROVERB III chip replaces several circuit cards of components while providing a powerful level of sonic flexibility that will expand and polish the sound of any recording.

Any SPST type footswitch (such as the reverb footswitch that sometimes comes with amplifiers) will work for this function. is actually a 3 colored LED that shows several input conditions. When control should be decreased. INPUT reads in the red only on occasional transients.

    Another way of interfacing the MICROVERB III unit to a mixer or recording console would be in-line across the output of your mixing console. See figure 3 This method should only be used if you needed to effect the entire mix, since the same effect would be on all of the instruments or vocals.

    GATES Gated reverb is a very popular effect on drums first found on English records in the early 1980’s. The MICROVERB III’s gate programs simulate applying a noise gate (a device that automatically decreases or cuts off the volume once a signal falls below a certain level) across the output of the reverb causing the initial attack of the reverb to sound very big, but the tail of the reverb to be cut off very quickly.
