AMBIENCE M5000
This is a brief description of the parameters of the AMBIENCE algorithm. This algorithm is
based on the well-known REVERB-1 and REVERB-2 early reflection patterns with some
additional parameters. The high resolution of the implemented room shapes makes it possible
for simulation of small ambient rooms only by the early reflections. An obvious application
could be simulation of e.g. kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms with or without furniture. In
other words, more or less specialized to film applications. However, the algorithm is also
capable of adding new characteristics to a recording studios ambient recordings.
The diagram below is an addition to the signal flow diagram found in the "BASIC
ALGORITHMS" module, page 2.
EDIT PARAMETERS:
MIX 0 - 100 % Sets the mix between dry and wet signal.
100 % = effect signal only. Mix can be
set to 100 % globally in the G-LEVELS-
menu under UTILITY. Set MIXMODE
WET=MAX and all dry signals are
"killed" regardless of preset mix settings.
INLEV off - 0.0 dB. Sets the level of the input to the
algorithm in 0.5 dB steps. The function
of the control is to maximize dynamic
range. Please note that this control is
positioned after the input PPM meter,
and will not affect the input PPM
reading, also if using an analog input,
make the analog input adjustment in the
G-LEVELS-menu under UTIL before
setting this control. However, if the red
overload LED flashes, turn down INLEV
a couple of dBs. The control does not
affect the bypassed signal level.
