Ambience - TC Electronic M-ONE User Manual

Ambience

As opposed to the Spring reverb, the Ambience
algorithm is a very natural sounding reverb.
Decay
Range: 0.02s - 2,5s
The Decay parameter determines the length of
the Reverb Tail. The length is defined as the
time it takes for the Reverb Tail to decay
approximately 60dB.
Predelay
Range: 0 - 100ms
A short delay placed between the Early
Reflections and the Tail of the reverb. By using
predelay the source material is kept clear and
undisturbed by the more diffuse reverb tail.
Try to turn down the Reflect Level
in order to achieve the traditional
"slapback " effect on the Reverb
Tail.
Size
Range: Small - Medium - Large - XL (XL-Only)
This parameter determines the size of the
Early Reflection pattern. Try experimenting
with the different sizes to hear what suits your
source material best.
High Cut
Range: 501.2Hz - 20kHz
Rolls off high frequencies with a slope of
6dB/octave. Use this to remove sibilance in the
Reverb.
Try experimenting with the
difference in removing high
frequencies using the High Cut and
the High Color parameters.
High Color
Range: -50 - +50
This parameter adjusts the Decay time in the
upper frequency spectra. By decreasing the
upper frequency Decay time you remove
sibilance while preserving the openness of the
Reverb.
Low Color
Range: -50 - +50
This parameter adjusts the Decay time in the
lower frequency spectra. Remove rumble while

preserving the warmth of the Reverb Tail by
decreasing the lower frequency Decay time.
Reflect Level
Range: 0dB to -100dB
This parameter adjusts the level of the Early
Reflection.
Reverb Level
Range: 0dB to -100dB
This parameter adjusts the Reverb Tail level.
Lowering the Reverb Level will give you a
more ambient sound, since the Early
Reflection patterns will become more obvious
Mod
Range: Off - On
Switches the Modulation function On/Off.
Modulating the Reverb tail will create a more
chaotic Reverb Tail, very similar to a natural
room.
Mod Speed
Range: -25 - +25
Sets the speed of the modulation. The Speed
has been optimized for each Reverb type. The
+/-25 range is calculated as the variation from
this optimal setting.
Mod Depth
Range: -25 - +25
Sets the depth of the Modulation. The Depth
has been optimized for each Reverb type. The
+/-25 range is calculated as the variation from
this optimal setting.
FX Level
Range: 0 - 100%
The level of the entire effect.
Many older Reverbs did not utilize
Early Reflection patterns. Try
lowering the Reflect Level in order
to achieve this character.
