headroom indicator. Digital overload will be indicated by the red LED illuminating on
the headroom indicator.
• Correct pre-delay (‘loop length’) should be set before creating the effect as attempts
to alter this later will usually destroy part of the recorded sound.
• Remember to return level to ‘0’ immediately after used to avoid noise build-up.
“Infinite Room” effect
LEVEL control knob provides 10 level increments of signal input to the ‘infinite room’.
Return level to ‘0’ after use to avoid noise build-up.
REV button clears memory of unwanted effect.
Preset parameters: On selecting this effect program, level is 0. Please note that no
sound will be heard until ‘level’ is increased.
Stereo mix: Infinite room is a spacious, full stereo effect.
Application Notes:
• Since the ‘level’ inside the signal processor increases as fresh input is added, input
level must be less than that recommended for normal use; try -15dB on the
headroom indicator. Digital overload will be indicated by the red LED illuminating on
the headroom indicator.
• Remember to return level to ‘0’ immediately after used to avoid noise build-up.
“Alive”, “Non-Linear” and “Reverse” effects
PRE DELAY control knob sets the delay between the direct signal and the onset of the
effect. Maximum pre-delay is 990ms.
PATTERN control knob changes the density of the reflections, with 0 giving a low
density or ‘grainy’ character and 9 producing a high density effect.
DECAY control knob sets the length of the effect, from ‘1’ (short) to ‘12’ (long). The
display simply shows these increment numbers and is not calibrated in seconds.
LF control knob adjusts the low frequency content of the effect.
HF control knob adjusts the high frequency content of the effect.
REV button clears memory of unwanted effect.
Preset parameters:
• “Alive” - on selecting this effect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 9; decay is 8; LF
is +1; and HF is +3.
• “Non-Linear” - on selecting this effect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay
is 5; LF is 0; and HF is 0.
• “Reverse” - on selecting this effect program: pre-delay is 0s; pattern is 4; decay
is 12; LF is 0; and HF is +2.
Stereo mix: All these effects are in full stereo and are completely mono-compatible.
Application Notes:
• These three effects will find instant application in any recording studio engaged in
contemporary music production, as they allow pronounced acoustical enhancement
without the ‘muddying’ effect of longer, conventional decay envelopes. This makes
possible a bright and ‘punchy’ mix. These effects work well on most instruments,
but try “Non-Linear” for explosive snare sounds and “Reverse” on vocals.
• The “Alive” program produces a more natural, live ambience, which is less coloured
than the other two effects and has wide-ranging applications.
