.1 The reverb effect
.1 The reverb effect
Reverb, or reverberation, is the result of a series of sound reflections propagated inside a room.
The order and value of each reflection depend on the room in which it occurs and a large number of
factors come into play within any one room (e.g. the size of the room in which the phenomenon takes
place, the nature of the materials of which it is made and the objects it contains, the listener's position,
etc.).
The powerful digital signal processors that form the "heart" of the CM-100 are able to perform the
complicated task of artificially re-creating the complex reverberations that naturally occur in the types of
building where pipe organs are normally installed, and thus generating the right reverb effect to complete
the instrument's excellent timbre qualities.
The reverb effect is provided in the headphones and on all six line outputs.

5.2 Reverb effect settings
There is a REVERB LEVEL trimmer on the CM-100 front panel
When the trimmer is turned to the minimum setting, the reverb effect is deactivated; as the trimmer is
turned up, the amount of effect will rise in proportion. This means you can make the setting you require
depending on your own taste and the needs of the context in which the CM-100 is installed.
The REVERBERATION TYPE parameter (set using the function provided in the setup menu) allows you
to choose the type of room or building to be simulated.
To do this, press the SETUP button and use the cursor keys to start the word REVERB flashing.
Then press ENTER and the video page shown below will appear on the display.
You can now modify the Reverberation Type parameter as you wish by turning the DATA encoder. You
can choose from no less than eight types of room or building simulations, ranging from a large church
with strong reverb and many reflections to a small room with very short, muffled reverb.
Press EXIT to save the selection and return to the SETUP menu, from where you can return to the main
page by pressing EXIT again.
