Description
EQ Input
Off, -49.5dB to +24dB
Adjusts the input level trim to the EQs to eliminate the possibility of
clipping boosted signals.
LoShelf Fc
10Hz to 20.0kHz
Sets the center of the low frequency EQ.
LoShelf Gain
Off, -49.5dB to +24dB
Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this low frequency shelf.
Mid 1 Fc
10Hz to 20.0kHz
Sets the center of the mid frequency parametric.
Mid 1 Q
1.0 to 40.0
This parameter is a bandwidth control that determines the width of the
resonant peak at the center frequency band. This parameter is equal to the
cutoff frequency divided by the bandwidth. By raising the value, you can
produce a narrower bandwidth.
Mid 1 Gain
Off, -49.5dB to +24dB
Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this high frequency shelf.
HiShelf Fc
10Hz to 20.0kHz
Sets the center frequency of the high frequency shelf.
HiShelf Gain
Off, -49.5dB to +24dB
Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this shelf.
EQ Output
Off, -49.5dB to +24dB
Controls the gain coming out of the parametric EQ.
Rev Mix
Full Dry to Full Wet
Controls the reverb mix.
Decay
0.0sec to 10.0sec
Controls the amount of time it takes for the reverb to decay after the input
signal stops.
HF Damping
100Hz to 21.2kHz
Controls the rate of attenuation of high frequencies in the decay of the
reverb. Increasing the value of this parameter will gradually filter out
(dampen) more and more high frequency energy.
HF Bandwidth
100Hz to 21.2kHz
Acts as a low pass filter on the signal going into the reverb, controlling the
amount of high frequencies that will pass. The higher the setting, the more
high frequencies are allowed to pass.
Diffusion 1
0 to 100
Smears the input signal transients, to diffuse and smooth the sound. Lower
values will cause impulse sounds to appear as a series of discrete echoes,
while higher values tend to increase the smear (smoother sounding with
fewer discrete echoes). We recommend settings of 50 for starters.
Diffusion 2
0 to 100
This parameter, similar to and in series with Diffusion1, controls lower
frequency ranges.
Definition
0 to 100
Controls the rate at which echo density is increased with time. Setting this
too high can cause the echo density to build at a rate which exceeds the
decay rate.
