V-VERB PRO REV2496

3.8.2 DIGI page

Fig. 3.10: SETUP page 2

Clock  Source:

  Here  you  can  select  the  clock  speed  of  the

REV2496. You can select between the following internal clock

speeds: 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. If you wish to externally synchronize

your  REV2496  (slave  operation),  you  can  select  if  the  clock

speed will be via the external BNC wordclock input (WDCLK) or

via the digital input (DIG. IN). If you wish to use your REV2496 as

a slave and at the same time wish to use the analog inputs, a

synchronization  via  the  wordclock  input  or  via  one  of  the  two

digital inputs is necessary.

Input Source:

 With the EDIT B control, you can decide which

of the two digital inputs will be used: the optical input (OPT.) or

the XLR input (XLR).

Dither  and  Noise  Shaper:

  The  EDIT  C  control  has  a  dual

function. Here, you can select if you want to accomplish dithering

for the digital output signals, or if you also want to use additional

noise-shaping. The following settings can be made:

Dis play

Nois e Shaper at 20 bit

16 BIT (+NSHA PE) Dithering w ith ac tivated 

Nois e Shaper at 16 bit

Tab.  3.4:  Setting  possibilities  for

dithering  and  noise  shaping

+

“Dithering”  refers  to  a  low-level  signal  that  is  added

to  the  audio  signal  in  order  to  reduce  the  so-called

quantization.  It  should  be  adjusted  to  the  word  rate

(bit  rate) that the  associated  equipment can  support.

The  “Noise-Shaping”  function  displaces  the  noises

created  through  dithering  into  a  less  perceptible

frequency  range.

Output Format:

 The EDIT D control adjusts the format of the

digital data flow at the output. The professional AES/EBU (AES3)

format and the consumer S/PDIF format are available. The selected

format applies to both digital outputs, i.e. if you use an appropriate

cable,  you  can  forward  a  signal  from  the  XLR  output  in  the

S/PDIF  format  to  another  piece  of  equipment  with  a

S/PDIF connection.

3.8.3 GAIN page

Fig. 3.11: SETUP page 3

Here,  you  can  adjust  the  signal  level  of  analog  and  digital

inputs and outputs. A signal level adjustment of +/- 6 dB is possible.

The  REV2496  features  two  automatic,  non-disengageable

Peak  Limiters

  in  the  output  section  of  both  engines.  If  signal

peaks occur, these peak limiters effectively eliminate them. If the

peak  limiters  engage,  the  corresponding  LIMITER  LED  illumi-

nates. In this case, please reduce the input/output level until the

LED is no longer illuminated or only lights up occasionally.

The level indicator of your REV2496 indicates the input that

was selected as master input on the I/O page of the setup menu.

During level setting of the digital input, if you want to see a signal

on the LED ring, you have to select this input as master input.

3.8.4 MIDI page

Fig. 3.12: SETUP page 4

On this page, you can perform MIDI adjustments. For ENGINE

A, B and for COMBI., different MIDI channels can be selected.

This way, you can separately switch presets for both processors

and assign different MIDI controllers.

The parameters SEND and RECEIVE let you activate individual

MIDI  functions  on  both  the  send  and  the  receive  ends.  These

are: Program Change, Controller and SysEx (system-exclusive

data).

If you wish to carry out a MIDI dump, use EDIT D to determine

beforehand if all user presets (ALL) or only the current setting

of  the  selected  combination  and  the  settings  of  both  engines

(EDIT) are transmitted as SysEx data.

All MIDI functions are explained in detail in chapter 6.
