The release (
SHIFT-HI) control sets the amount of time it takes for the reverb input signal to recover,
increasing clockwise from 12:00. The range is 30 - 3000 ms.
Dynamic reverb techniques
To get a feel for how it works, set the release ( [SHIFT]-HI) control to 11:00 (ducking) or 1:00 (expansion)
to give the most dramatic effect. Adjust the threshold so that the LED blinks red on moderately loud
notes. Then play a crescendo from very soft to very loud to see how the reverb level changes. Setting
the
BLEND to 100% wet will make the volume difference more apparent.
Use reverb ducking to increase clarity by reducing the reverb level during your instrument's attack or
while playing loud. Adjust the release time to the fastest setting that avoids audible "pumping" when the
reverb comes back up.
Use reverb expansion with a quick release to create unnatural reverb tails. Set the threshold right be-
low the point where the LED blinks red on note attacks. As notes decay, the reverb level will fall off more
rapidly.
Use expansion to emphasize loud chords, while applying more subtle reverb to melodies. Set the
threshold so that the LED is red during loud passages and green during quiet passages. The release
time controls how tightly it tracks your playing, and the reverb decay controls how long it lingers.
Use a volume pedal, volume knob, or pickup selector switch to move above and below the threshold,
putting a compressor after the Context to smooth out volume differences.
