REVERB PROGRAMS
R everberation (reverb) is the warm "ambience" that you experience in a concert hall or any other live acoustic environ
ment. Reverberation adds depth and richness to the sound, and provides important aural information about the size,
shape and other acoustic characteristics of the environment, Natural reverberation consists of many thousands of closely
spaced reflections from the various surfaces of a room or hall. The R100 gives you a choice of 10 reverb programs,
simulating a wide range of acoustic environments.
PARAMETER 1: Effect/Direct 5 ignal Balance
e Range: 0 — 99
Adjusts the balance between the direct sound of your in-
strument (or other source) and the effect signal, At "99"
only the effect sound is delivered from the R100 outputs,
while at "0" only the direct sound is output. At a setting.
of "50," the direct and effect sounds are output in ap-
proximately equal proportions.
PARAMETER 2: Initial Delay
е Display Range: 0 — 99
• Corresponding Delay Range: 0.1 — 50.0 millisec-
onds
This parameter represents the delay between the direct
sound of an instrument and the first of the many reflec-
tions that together form reverberation.
PARAMETER 3: Reverb Time
• Display Range: 0 — 99
е Corresponding Reverb Time Range: 0.3 — 99.0 sec-
. onds
The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation
at 1 kHz to decrease by 60 dB -- virtually to silence. In a
live setting, this depends on several factors: room size,
room shape, type of reflective surfaces, and others.
PARAMETER 4: High Frequency Reverb Time
Ratio
e Display Range: 1 — 10
e Corresponding High Reverb Time Ratio Range: x0. 1.
— x1.0
Natural reverberation varies according to the frequency of
the sound. The higher the frequency, the more sound .
tends to be absorbed by walls, furnishings and even air.
This parameter allows alteration of the high-frequency
reverb time in relation to the overall reverb time. A set-
ting of "1" (x0.1), for example, produces a high-fre-
quency reverb time only one-tenth that of the low and
midrange reverb time. On the other end of the scale, at a
setting of "10" (x1.0) the high-frequency reverb time is
the same as that of the rest of the frequency range.
