Buttons - Arturia REV LX-24 User Manual

3.4. Buttons

The Buttons perform a few very useful functions as found on the original plus 3 convertor
types: 2 Vintage and 1 Modern, so you can choose whether you want your reverb cleaner
than it ever was or with grit and grain!
The following can be toggled ON or OFF
LOCK: This Function locks the faders in the position set to allow you to browse
•
Algorithms without losing your settings.
MODE ENH: Mode Enhancement can be used to greatly improve the naturalness
•
of the reverb. It works by continuously modulating the algorithms delay times.
MODE ENH also controls coloration at the end of the reverb decay, producing
a warmer sound. Try this on exposed vocals: you should hear a more metallic
reverb sound without the Mode Enhancement".
DECAY OPTIM: Decay Optimization improves the naturalness of the decay and
•
can be used in conjunction with MODE ENH. It alters internal parameters
continuously, in response to changes in level at the input stage. This mode
increases the clarity and reduces coloration of the decay and can make the
decay uneven. Try this on exposed Drums to hear: this becomes more obvious
when using higher distance values.
One of the following must be selected
VINTAGE 12: This runs at the sample rate of 20480Hz, as in the original. Use this
•
mode to run the Rev LX-24 in all its vintage 12-bit glory, modelling carefully the
transformer and analog to digital conversion and back ( ADC/ DAC). This includes
a high frequency elliptical filter set at 8k, pre-emphasis, de-emphasis. This mode
has all the artefacts, quantization errors and noise of the original.
VINTAGE 24: This runs at the sample rate of 20480Hz, as in the original. Use
•
this mode to achieve a similar effect to the Vintage 12 mode, modelling carefully
the transformer and analog to digital conversion and back (ADC/DAC). With high
frequency elliptical filter set at 8k, pre-emphasis, de-emphasis but with a much
quieter 24-bit conversion.
MODERN: This runs at the sample rate set by your DAW. It also keeps the
•
input transformer modelling, thereby retaining the sound but removes artefacts,
quantization errors and noise by removing the noise floor. This mode bypasses
the high frequency elliptical filter set at 8k, pre-emphasis, de-emphasis, ADC/DAC
and diodes found in the Vintage modes.
