6. REVERB Function
Reverb is a multitude of echoes spaced so close together that, to the human ears seem as a single
continuous sound. These echoes gradually decrease in intensity until they are ultimately absorbed by the
boundaries and obstacles within a room. As the sound waves from the sound source strike the boundar-
ies of a room, a portion of the energy is reflected away from the obstacle while another portion is ab-
sorbed into it - thereby causing both the continuance of sound as well as the decaying or "dying out' of
the sound.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these REVERB parameters:
The REVERB INPUT parameter determines whether the input to the Reverb sec-
tion is ACTIVE (passing a signal) or MUTED (will not pass a signal).
The MIX DIRECT/DELAY parameter is used to define the ratio of direct signal
to delayed signal to be input to the reverb section.
The REVERB LEVEL parameter allows you to control the level of the reverb
signal at the output in relation to the direct signal and other effect signals. This
parameter is also accessible from the Mixer function.
The REVERB DECAY parameter determines the length of time that the reverb
signal will sound before it has completely died out.
The REVERB HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter is used to control the
decay rate of high frequency information in the reverb signal. Higher parameter
settings will result in a faster decay of high frequency information.
