Vss™ 6.1 - Reverb - TC Electronic SYSTEM 6000 MKII Algorithm Manual

Choose Your Verb
Make sure to read the Reverb Intro in this manual about
distinguishing between Generic and Source Reverb types.
VSS-6.1 is a Generic type. It takes in a complete
multichannel mix or stem and adds complex Early
Reflections as well as uncorrelated diffused response
to the signal. VSS-6.1 is the first professional reverb to
acknowledge the advantages of 6.1 room simulation to
cover wide audiences like in a cinema, or make the most
out of SACD 6.0 reproduction.
The improvements over 5.1 must be heard to be believed,
so make sure to enable 6.1 mode when a separate
Surround channel is available. The 6.1 mode is compatible
with Dolby EX, DTS ES and SACD 6.0.
VSS-6.1 Reverb Introduction
Reverb is added to the five or six main-channels (L,Center,
R, SL, SR, SC). The LFE-channel is passed through time
aligned but un-processed. The algorithm can be used at
sample rates between 44.1 and 96kHz.
Input a 5.1 or 6.1 mix or stem, choose a Location type
and Output format. If you want to position single-sources
into the "VSS-6.1-Reverb" or dynamically move sources
around in the surround-field, use either the SpacePan-5.1
algorithm or a surround panner that may already exist
within your mixing console.
High-quality Early Reflection patterns and five un-correlated
Reverbs are integrated in this algorithm. The extensive
Early Reflection patterns can be enabled to enhance
localization and widen the sweet spot.

Main
Master Reverb
Master Decay
Range: 0.1 to 20s
Adjusts the Master Decay time for the entire Diffused
image. If you need to adjust the Decay time individually per
channel, go to the Decay page and use the multipliers for
each channel.
Pre Delay
Range: 0 to 300ms
Pre Delay on the complete wet signal on all five
main-channels.
Fr. Hi Cut
Range: 20Hz to 20kHz
Hi Cut parameter for the Reverb Diffuse fields in the Front
channels.
Surr. Hi Cut
Range: 20Hz to 20kHz
Hi Cut parameter for the Reverb Diffuse fields in the
Surround channels.
Note that this parameter can be linked to Front Hi Cut on
the Decay page.
Master Early
Each Location Type (see Setup page) has a predefined
colorization. The Hi and Lo Color alter the default color of
the selected Location.
Lo Color
Range: -50 to 50
Master Lo Color adjustment of the Early Reflections.
Hi Color
Range: -50 to 50
Master Hi Color adjustment of the Early Reflections.
ER. Decrease - Restrictions in Order
Range: 0 to 100%
Reflection patterns in System 6000 are rendered to a high
order, but you may not always be interested in having a
full emulation, e.g. if the microphone already has picked up
