Interface (cont.)
UND/X/OVR
: Sets the signal flow:
•
UND
: Fold -> DOOM -> Rectify -> Saturate
•
X
: Fold -> Saturate -> Rectify -> DOOM
•
OVR
: Fold -> DOOM -> Rectify -> Saturate -> Fold
(again)
OFF/ON/TRK
: Notch filter:
•
OFF
: Off.
•
ON
: Fixed-frequency notch at 1kHz.
•
TRK
: Tracks the frequency of the Center knob.
Smoosh
: Press or trigger with a gate for 128dB of gain.
In L/In R
: Audio input. If R is not patched, the signal from L
is normaled to both inputs.
Out L/Out R
: Stereo output pair.
Patch Tutorial
First patch
Start by patching a saw wave into the L input, and patching the Out L and R jacks to
your mixer. Set Center, Drive, Phase, and 8vize to 12:00. Set Doom and Fold fully
counterclockwise, and Blend fully clockwise. Set both switches to the leftmost position.
This is the least distorted that RV will get… it’s all destruction from here.
Start by playing with Fold, Doom, Drive, and 8vize: these are the main controls for the
four types of distortion on RV.
Try different Phase settings to change the phasing of your signal and add stereo width.
Center and the OFF/ON/TRK switch change the frequencies emphasized and cut in
your signal.
Try different UND/X/OVR settings for different signal chains and distortion flavors.
Lastly, hit Smoosh and really annihilate your signal.
