USAGE INSTRUCTIONS – REAR PANEL 

 

SPEAKER POSITION 

The 

Angle

 and 

Distance

 CV inputs allow you to offset the position of the speaker. 

When these CV inputs are used, a second ghost speaker will appear on the front 
screen. This ghost is the actual position of the speaker used in the 3D calculations. 

When you use the mouse to move the speaker, you are moving the brighter 
reference speaker. The ghost speaker will always use the CV inputs as an offset 
from the reference. 

The 

Elev 

CV input will offset the elevation of the audio source. 

The 

Shift Perpendicular 

CV input will move the audio source perpendicular to its current position. If the 

speaker is currently at 0°, then this input will move the speaker left and right. This input is very useful for 
creating 'fly by' Doppler effects. Again the calculated position is shown using the ghost speaker on the front 
display. 

CV OUT 

The 

Angle

 CV output gives a control signal that represents the current angle of the speaker. One use for this is 

to pass this signal into the Angle input of a second Revolution device, and then apply an offset using the Angle 
knob on the front panel. 

The 

Distance

 CV outputs the calculated distance from the listener.  

Of course these CV outputs can be used to control many devices in Reason, and you can then use the front 
display as a unique control surface. 

PRE-3D 

The 

Pre-3D

 audio outputs the delayed and attenuated audio before the 3D effect is applied. This is useful for 

when multiple Revolution devices are chained to make audio appear to bounce around 3D space. See the 
included 

Crazy Echo

 combinator patch for an example of this. 

AUDIO IN 

The 

Left

 and 

Right

 inputs are for your source audio. If a stereo signal is used, it will be mixed down to mono 

before the 3D effect is applied.
