5 – TC Works Reverb—Pre-delay settings

Pre-delay settings

The bottom row of the screen allows different delay
settings to be made.
See the diagram above for details of exactly what
these settings change.

INLEV

This is the initial level of the early reflec-
tions.
Use POD 1 to set this value from
–140 dB to 0 dB .

REVLEV

This is the level at which the decay "tail"
portion of the reverb starts.

Conclusion

Although the array of parameters and options for this
reverb may seem a little baffling at first, compared
with some other units, a little experimentation will
soon make it clear what the different parameters
actually control in terms of the sound produced.

Preset reverb settings

These settings are all stored in the first preset effects
library.
The English names give an idea of the kind of sound
that can be obtained from these settings.

Ambience

settings basically give a feeling of life,
without a definite reverb.
Box
settings are smaller or and typically have a
rather "live" sound.

Chamber

settings provide a sound a little like a
room type of reverb.
FX
settings provide a special effect, which may not
sound totally natural, but may have a useful place in
your project.

Tunnel

settings provide the image of a long narrow
live space.

Use POD 2 to set this value from
to 0 dB .

PREDLY

This is the pre-delay portion of the reverb.
It describes the time from the initial sound to the first
of the initial reflections.
Use POD 3 to set this value from
1 ms steps.

REVFEED

This is the time separating the feed from
the initial reflections to the "tail" part of the reverb.
Use POD 4 to set this value from
1 ms steps.
The preset library entries provide useful starting
points for your own experiments, allowing you to
either simulate real reverb situations, or to invent
imaginary spaces with their own, distinctive, rever-
beration characteristics.

Hall

settings give the sound of larger enclosed
spaces. There is a range of hall settings provided,
with different acoustical characteristics, including
"church" and "cathedral" settings.

Drum

settings are specifically tailored for use with
drum instruments. Of course, they can be used with
other instruments and sources, but they may not be so
effective as when they are used with drum sources.

Perc

settings are suitable (but not exclusively) for
use with percussion instruments and percussive
sounds.

Plate

Settings reproduce the sound of a vintage
plate reverb unit.

Room

settings provide the effect of a smaller,
tighter space than a hall.jcASCAM effects
