Internal Effects

The M32 contains over 60 internal effects that can
be applied to each of the input channels, either as
inserts or as sends and returns. Access the internal
effects by pressing the EFFECTS button next to
the Main Display. The functionality for each of the
effects is detailed below.

Hall Reverb

Classic Hall Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs when sound is recorded in medium- to large-sized convert
halls. Use the Hall Reverb to give your mix a lush , three-dimensional quality that will make your performance sound
larger than life. Inspired by the Lexicon Hall.
The PRE DELAY slider controls the amount of time before the reverberation is heard following the source signal. DECAY
controls the amount of time it takes for the reverb to dissipate. SIZE controls the perceived size of the space being created
by the reverb effect. The DAMP slider adjust the decay of high frequencies within the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the
initial reflection density. SHAPE adjust the contour of the reverberation envelope.

Ambience

Ambience creates a customisable virtual acoustic space in which to place the elements of a mix. Use Ambience to add
warmth and depth without colouring the direct sound. Inspired by the Lexicon Ambience Algorithm.
PRE DELAY sets the time before the reverb follows the source signal. DECAY adjusts the time it takes for the reverb to
completely dissipate. SIZE controls the room size emulation. DAMPING controls the high-frequency decay within the re-
verb tail. DIFFUSE controls the initial echo density. The level sets the volume output of the affected signal. LO CUT affects
the low frequency cut, allowing lower frequencies to remain unaffected by the reverb. HI CUT affects the high frequency
cut, allowing higher frequencies to remain unaffected by the reverb. MOD adjusts the level of reverb decay modulation.
TAIL GAIN adjusts the volume of the reverb tail.

Rich Plate Reverb

Rich Plate Reverb was originally created by sending a signal through a transducer to create vibrations on a plate of sheet
metal which were then picked up as an audio signal. Our algorithm simulates that sound with high initial diffusion and a
bright-coloured sound. Inspired by the Lexicon Plate Reverb.
The PRE DELAY slider controls the amount of time before the reverberation is heard following the source signal. DECAY
controls the amount of time it takes for the reverb to dissipate. SIZE controls the perceived size of the space being created
by the reverb effect. The DAMP slider adjust the decay of high frequencies within the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the
initial reflection density. SHAPE adjust the contour of the reverberation envelope.
