- Page 1 ReValver Manual This manual covers the handling Alien Connections ReValver, a Guitar Valve Amplifier simulator. The content of this material is copyrighted Alien Connections. Trademarks are copy- righted to their respective owner. February 25, 2001...
- Page 2 Hi-Fi amplifiers. Guitar amps distort the signal in a way that is very pleasing to the ear. ReValver also includes a lot of effects that are specially designed for guitars. ReValver is a DirectX plugin and can be used in DirectX-plugin compatible host applications.
- Page 3 ReValver modules. The modules can be configured in many different combinations and orders The signal in ReValver goes from the top to the bottom. This means that the top-most module gets the input signal from the host application, and the bottom-most module delivers the output signal back to the program.
- Page 4 By clicking ‘Load’ and ‘Store’ preset you can load or save a configuration. The settings from each module are saved to disk along with their internal order in the chain. There is no limit to the number of programs that can be saved. ReValver Manual 4...
- Page 5 This means that if you wish to store a preset/setting on a different media, you must also include the *.room file. To design your own room, you must use software compatible with the format, for example Pristine Sounds. ReValver Manual 5...
- Page 6 A multi tracker is a host application that can play several waveforms simultaneously. This implies that you could have any number of instances of ReValver running at a time. The settings of ReValver on one track will not interfere with another track.
- Page 7 Given a mono input, ReValver will generate a mono output. The output of any stereo module will be merged into mono by either a mono module or on output.
- Page 8 Multi trackers Given a stereo input, ReValver will generate a stereo out- put. Mono modules will merge stereo streams into mono automatically. Examples of mono modules are preamps, poweramps and speakers without room ambience. Examples of ste- reo modules are most effects and speakers with room ambience.
- Page 9 Handling of a module Techniques for creating programs ReValver was designed to be used in ways similar to real life hardware. The modules have the same look and feel as ordinary 19” rack modules. By constructing a chain of modules a unique sound can created.
- Page 10 1. Note that trim pots and filters can be placed at any point in the chain. They should be thought of as an internal components of other modules. With filters you can enhance the sound of those other modules. You should not be afraid to use many filters. ReValver Manual 10...
- Page 11 In ReValver you cannot have any effects (other than the trim pot and filters) directly following a poweramp. To use effects you must first “mike up” the speakers (speaker simulation).
- Page 12 A chain of modules! Descriptions of modules This chapter will discuss the most unique types of mod- ules in ReValver. The Preamps Most preamps have similar parameters: Input drive (This basically controls the amount of distor- tion. It is the input drive to the preamp. The higher the volume, the more the output signal will distort.)
- Page 13 (non smart mode) or by the signal content (smart modes). The speed controls how fast the signal is to glide up and down the frequency scale. The range defines the total change of the frequency, usually between 200-2000 Hz). ReValver Manual 13...
- Page 14 *.room file. To design your own room, you must use software compatible with the format, for example Pristine Sounds. ReValver Manual 14...
- Page 15 *.room files that you can design yourself using Pristine Sounds 2000. In this figure, mike A is directed towards the voice coil, and mike B is directed towards the speaker’s edge. The most common setup is to angle it somewhere in between. ReValver Manual 15...
- Page 16 Midi capabilities of ReValver Midi & DXi Automation The DXi midi interface of ReValver lets you control the parameters in real-time from any DXi compatible host. Midi capabilities of ReValver ReValver listens to NRPN messages. The NRPN’s is a ReValver-defined list of parameters. The parameter set is generic, and comply to all ReValver presets.

Page 17: Usage Notes
Reverb parameters only work on the last reverb. An NRPN value ranges between 0-16383. That value will be interpreted by ReValver accordingly; a value of 0 (zero) maps to the lowest value of the parameter, and 16383 maps to the largest. - Page 18 . To access the midi interface of ReValver, simply create one audio track with ReValver as usual, then create a midi track and select “Alien Connections ReValver” as an output midi port. This midi port exist only in SONAR, and if you have more than one ReValver tracks, you will have as many midi ports.
