control. The surround in/surround out routing is for use with a true 4-channel input
source and both front and rear output pairs each have their own wet/dry mix control for
precise control of dry audio and reverb adjustments in the surround field.
Plate Reverbs -
Stereo
SMaLL PLate, LarGe PLate, vocaL PLate, DruM PLate
A
Plate
reverb is a large, thin sheet of metal suspended upright under tension on
springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmit a signal that makes the plate
vibrate, causing sounds to appear to be occurring in a large, open space. The Plates in
the MX400 model the sound of metal plates with high initial diffusion and a relatively
bright, colored sound.
Plate
reverbs are designed to be heard as part of the music,
mellowing and thickening the initial sound.
Plate
reverbs are often used to enhance
popular music, particularly percussion.
Room Reverb -
Stereo
Room
produces an excellent simulation of a very small room which is useful for
dialog and voiceover applications.
Room
is also practical when used judiciously for
fattening up high energy signals like electric guitar amp recordings.
Chamber Reverb -
Stereo
Historically, recording studio chambers were oddly shaped rooms with a loudspeaker
and set of microphones to collect ambience in various parts of the room.
Chamber
programs produce even, relatively dimensionless reverberation with little color change
as sound decays. The initial diffusion is similar to the
Hall
programs. However, the
sense of size and space is much less obvious. This characteristic, coupled with the
low color of the decay tail, makes these programs useful on a wide range of material
- especially the spoken voice, to which
Chamber
programs add a noticeable increase
in loudness with low color.
Gated Reverb -
Mono In/Stereo Out
Gated
reverb is created by feeding a reverb, such as a metal plate, through a gate
device. Decay Time is set to instant, while Hold Time varies duration and sound. The
Gated
reverb provides a fairly constant sound with no decay until the reverb is cut off
abruptly. This program works well on percussion — particularly on snare and toms;
be sure to experiment with other sound sources as well.
Reverse Reverb -
Mono In/Stereo Out
Reverse
reverb works in the opposite fashion from normal reverb. Whereas a normal
reverb has the loudest series of reflections heard first that then become quieter over
time, the
Reverse
reverb has the softest reflections (essentially the tail of the reverb)
heard first, and then grows louder over time until they abruptly cut off.
Ambience Reverb -
Stereo
Ambience
is used to simulate the effect of a small or medium sized room without
noticeable decay. It is often used for voice, guitar or percussion.
