  • Page 16: Algorithms & Presets

    Space User Guide Algorithms Algorithms & Presets ’s Presets are based on a set of reverb-type audio processing algorithms. An algorithm is the underlying structure of the effect that the Preset is built upon. Please refer to the included Preset Reference Sheet and to our on-line documentation for descriptions of ’s Presets.
  • Page 17 Space User Guide Algorithms the sound of real-world enclosures and devices like halls and rooms and plates and springs. Other Algorithms are designed to creatively combine reverb effects with other signal processing functions such as tremolo, modulation, distortion, pitch change, resonance and reversal to create unique effects well beyond the confines of simple reverb.
  • Page 18 The controls allow for precision tweaking of early reflections, late reverb, and EQ. Room is the workhorse Algorithm for placing a sound in a realistic space or adding that subtle fattening that isn’t immediately noticed but is always immediately missed.

  • Page 20 ModEchoVerb is based on a popular reverb structure from the Eventide H8000 that brought about such presets as "Echo Space of God" and "Glorious Flange Canyon." It feeds the output of an infinite reverb into an infinite feedback delay and slathers on an extra helping of modulation.

In DynaVerb, the Omnipressor can dynamically control the output of a reverberator based on, either the input signal for maximum control, the reverb output for incredible chaos, or any mixture of the two.

    Space User Guide Catchup Catchup You would expect that when you turn a Parameter Control Knob, the parameter’s value would change instantly and, unless Catchup is enabled, it does. Instant changes, however, may not be desirable for all situations and users. Consider the following example: You’ve just loaded a Room-based preset and the preset’s Decay is set to 1 sec.

    Expression Pedal should be a simple linear resistive potentiometer (“pot”) with a maximum value of between 5k Ohms and 25k Ohms. Refer to www.eventide.com/AudioDivision.aspx for information on recommended expression pedals. Because different pedals can have different electrical characteristics, it is a good idea to “calibrate”...
  • Page 25 Space User Guide Expression Pedal Since any number of parameters can be programmed to respond to the pedal, it’s important to learn how to un-assign parameters. Let’s say that you’ve programmed the Pedal to control Mix from 50% to 100% and Delay from 10 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. Now, you’d like to un-assign Delay and have it fixed at 20 milliseconds rather than have it change when the Pedal moves.
