Micro Digital Reverberator - User Manual
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Program Machine 1 Small 1 and Small 2 are fun, kind of ugly sounding little rooms - throw
a drum set through them and you'll get a Steve Albini sort of vibe. Add a little PRE-DELAY ...
Machine 2 05 is especially "In Utero-ish"
Program Machine 2 01 doesn't really sound much like a room, but run anything through it
for instant weight gain and fatness without any mud. Play with PRE-DELAY to make the
e ff ect less natural.
SNARES
Seriously, this thing is like the best sounding snare reverb on the planet. Machine 2 06 and
07 are wonderful for this, giving your snares a huge, cannon like slam. Hair metal, anyone?
GOOP
If you listen to rock records from the 1960's, especially Rolling Stones singles, there is this
inde
fi nable mess hanging around in the far background. It's a combination of acoustic
guitar, bass, a band recording live in one big room, and perhaps an echo chamber.
WHATEVER - that huge background fullness
fi lls up all the empty spaces in the record like
rice with Chinese food, and it sounds WUNDERBAR.
You'll like this! Run the entire mix through the MDR. Use program Machine 1 Large 6 or
personal favorite Machine 2 28 . Start with DRY 100% and WET at 0. Roll tape (...or start
playing the song with your DAW), and slowly turn up the WET until you get a low level
blossom of reverb happening. With percussive music, the e ff ect can be a little too
noticeable, and you might have to roll down the WET at the ending of the song to keep the
reverb tail from hanging around for 5 seconds after the song is done. You can automate
that. Speaking of automation...
AUTOMATE THE WET KNOB (or the DRY KNOB)
If you patch the MDR across a channel insert, and then set the DRY to 100%, you can
control how much reverb e ff ect is heard by simply bringing up and down the WET knob.
And you can automate this. So, imagine the reverb on a vocal swelling and diminishing
depending on the music around the singer, or the emotional e
ff ect you want to get. Or as
the song fades out, crank up WET and things don't only fade, they seem to move back and
away. And because it is only 1 knob you're working with, the e ff ect is easy to manage and
automate. Gah! Automate the pan AND the WET (or the DRY , which might be even cooler)
and then you can have parts move around not only left to right but front to back. Very AXIS:
Bold as Love.
