Common Front Panel Controls
Click on the KORNEFF NAMEPLATE at the top to go to the back panel of the plugin.
MACHINE 1 & 2 - press to switch between two di ff erent vintage reverberator simulations.
DRY - controls the level of the dry (una ff ected) signal feeding the MDR’s output.
WET - controls the level of e ff ect signal feeding the MDR's output.
PRE-DELAY - adjusts the amount of time in milliseconds between the dry signal and the
e ff ect signal by delaying the onset of the e ff ect signal. The original hardware units didn’t
have a pre-delay control. Back then, if you wanted to pre-delay a reverb, you had to patch
in a delay unit before it. Our MDR comes with a pre-delay built in, with a range from 0ms to
150ms. Please note that
PRE-DELAY is set independently of the selected program. If you
don’t want pre-delay, set the control fully counterclockwise.
Think of pre-delay as delaying the reverb. It sort of simulates how long it takes a sound to
travel across a room, bounce o
ff a wall and get back to a listener’s ears. This is a naturally
occurring acoustic phenomena. The bigger the room or hall, the longer the pre-delay
generally is. Smaller rooms have almost no pre-delay, and plates and spring reverbs
typically don’t have pre-delay.
Engineers began to use a delay unit in front of a reverb unit as a way of mimicking the
sound of a large acoustic space using what was available in the studio - a reverb chamber,
a plate reverb, etc. A chamber or plate with pre-delay on it sounds bigger. Pre-delay can
also be used to separate the reverberant signal from the dry, and to make a reverb more
rhythmically coherent with the recording.
