Tlkpdl (Talk Pedal); Scifi1 – Scifi5 (Science Fiction Sounds); Reverb; Reverb Time - M-Audio Black Box Addendum To Users Manual

TLKPDL (talk pedal)

This is the same sound as our TLKBOX effect, but in this case the frequency
is controlled by the optional expression pedal, like a wah-wah pedal but with
voice sounds.
SCIFI1 – SCIFI5 (science fiction sounds)
These sounds are just plain wacky. Use them to add an unexpected element to
your performance or recording.

Reverb

Black Box now has a stereo reverb to add depth to your sound. There are four
settings that control the reverb:

REVERB TIME

This permits the selection of one of five reverb times:
RVTM 1 (tiny)
<
RVTM 2 (small)
<
RVTM 3 (medium)
<
RVTM 4 (large)
<
RVTM 5 (huge)
<
This is a Shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the DELAY button and select column 1.
2) Double-tap the DELAY button to enter Shift mode.
3) The screen will show the current Reverb Time value. To change it, turn
rotary control 1.

REVERB HIGH FREQUENCY

This permits the level of high frequencies in the reverb signal to be controlled.
The range is from 0 to 99:
RHF 0 (least high frequencies)
<
RHF 99 (most high frequencies)
<
This is a Shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the DELAY button and selct column 2.
2) Double-tap the DELAY button to enter Shift mode.
3) The screen will show the current Reverb High Frequency value. To change
it, turn rotary control 2.

REVERB VOLUME

This permits the level volume of the reverb signal to be adjusted. The range is
from 0 to 99:
RVL 0 (no reverb)
<
RVL 99 (high reverb volume)
<
This is a Shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the DELAY button and select column 3.
2) Double-tap the DELAY button to enter Shift mode.
3) The screen will show the current Reverb Volume value. To change it, turn
rotary control 3.

REVERB ON/OFF

To turn reverb on or off, hold the UTILITY switch for more than 1⁄4 second (just like
holding AMP, FX and DELAY turns on or off the amp, effects and delay).

REVERB/DELAY COMPROMISES

If reverb is on, delay is limited to a maximum of 625 milliseconds. Specifically:
1) If reverb is on and Delay Time is increased past a fixed value of 625
ms, then reverb is turned off. If reverb is on and Delay Time is set to any
tempo-based value that requires more than 625 ms at the current tempo,
the delay time is internally changed to 1⁄2 or 1⁄4 of that value to fit within
625 ms.
2) If Delay Time is set to a fixed value higher than 625 ms and reverb is
turned on, then delay is turned off (the "DLY OFF" icon will appear). If Delay
Time is set to any tempo-based value that requires more than 625 ms
at the current tempo and reverb is turned on, the delay time is internally
changed to 1⁄2 or 1⁄4 of that value to fit within 625 ms.

Compression

The new compressor is useful either as a note sustainer or as a limiter, reducing
the level of loud notes and increasing the level of soft notes. It is placed in the
signal chain before the amp modeling. There is one control:
COMPRESSION
This controls the level of drive to the compressor, adjustable from 0 to 99:
CMP 0 (no compression)
<
CMP 99 (maximum compression)
<
This is a Shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the AMP button and select column 2.
2) Double-tap the AMP button to enter Shift mode.
3) The screen will show the current Compression value. To change it, turn
rotary control 2.
Use lower values to gently limit peaks. Use higher values to sustain your guitar
notes, similar to increasing AMP DRIVE but without the distortion.

Amp Mid Control

The new AMP MID control permits you to adjust those all-important midrange
frequencies, giving you more control over your tone. Like BASS and TREBLE, the
range is from 0 to 99.
MID 0 (minimum midrange frequencies)
<
MID 99 (maximum midrange frequencies)
<
This is a shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the AMP button and select column 3.
2) Double-tap the AMP button to enter Shift mode.
3) The screen will show the current MID value. To change it, turn rotary
control 3.
