Room Reverb; Chamber Reverb; Plate Reverb; Vintage Reverb - Midas M32 User Manual

Room Reverb

Room Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs when sound is recorded in a small room. When you want to add a
bit of warmth and just a touch of reverb, the M32's Vintage Room breathes life into close-miked guitar and drum tracks.
Inspired by the Lexicon Room 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.

Chamber Reverb

Chamber Reverb simulates the reverberation found in medium sized spaces, somewhere between the intimacy of a small
room, and the grandeur of a large hall. Inspired by the Lexicon Chamber 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.

Plate Reverb

A 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. The M32's Plate Reverb will give your tracks the sound heard on countless hit records since the late
1950s. Inspired by the Lexicon PCM-70.
PRE DELAY 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 adjusts the size of the virtual room created by the reverb effect.
The DAMP rotary control adjusts the decay of high frequencies within the reverb tail. DIFF(usion) controls the initial
reflection density. The LO CUT rotary control sets the frequency beneath which the source signal will not pass through the
reverb. The HI CUT rotary control sets the frequency above which the source signal will not pass through the reverb. BASS
MULT(iplier) rotary control adjusts the decay time of the bass frequencies. XOVER controls the crossover point for bass.
MOD DEPTH controls the intensity of the reverb tail modulation. SPEED controls the speed of the reverb tail modulation.

Vintage Reverb

Based on the legendary EMT250, the M32's Vintage Reverb delivers shimmering, bright reverb that won't drown out or
overpower your live or recorded tracks. Use Vintage Reverb to sweeten vocals and snare drums without sacrificing clarity.
When Layer 1 is selected, the first slider on the left sets the reverb time from 4 milliseconds to 4.5 seconds. Slider 2 controls
the low-frequency multiplier decay time. Slider 3 controls the high-frequency multiplier decay time. Slider 4 controls the
amount of modulation in the reverb tail. When Layer 2 is selected, slider 1 adjusts the pre-delay. Slider 2 selects the low-
cut frequency. Slider 3 selects the hi-cut frequency. Slider 4 selects adjusts the output level of the reverb.
