80s Programs:
Digital technology hit every part of life in the 1980s and the audio
field was no exception from samplers and recorders to a quickly
expanding range of effects processors. For the first time ‘budget’
products put reverb and other effects in the hands of home and
touring musicians. The 80s bank of ZVERB features some of the
important and iconic algorithms of the decade.
80s BarrVerb
Based on the design of 80s lower cost multi-effects units. This
has a simpler structure than the ‘Hall’ or ‘Plate’ algorithms but it still
creates a very spacious and rich sound. The sound of the internal
delays are more prominent than the 70s algorithms. The Mod
parameter controls the overall delay length and creates a longer but
more obvious echo effect as it increases. The modulation is high
and the Time control is tilted to very long and large spaces up to
about a minute in time.
Time - Decay size of the space
Filter - Low Pass Filter
Mod - Length of internal delay loop
Ambience
A small space that can go from phone booth to living room to
long hallway or city alley in size. The Mod parameter sets the basic
size of the space and the Time adds more depth to the decay.
Time - Decay size of the space
Filter - Low Pass Filter
Mod - Pre-delay and Early Reflections scaling
