Intel Peavey ReValver MK III - Manual (Page 45)

Q. I have some very cool Impulse Response (IR) files. Can I use them with ReValver MK III?
A. Yes. The speaker convolution modeler (RIR) can load files in .wav format, provided they are
reasonably short. RIR is using a real-time engine that requires no particular sample chunk size, so
it can operate less efficiently with larger files. All input is therefore shortened considerably if
needed. No reverb, echo or delay type of IRs can be used.
Q. In ReValver MK III you can switch between push-pull and single-ended stages. What about
the phase inverter?
The phase splitter, “Long Tail Pair Phase Inverter“ has two outputs, each being essentially the
same signal but with one being inverted 180 degrees. This is a common circuit to drive a push-pull
stage that in fact requires two signals, one being 180 degrees apart.
If you wish to drive a single ended stage you need only one signal, and there is little advantage in
driving it with a phase inverter.
In a module that in fact has a phase inverter, you can still switch the push-pull stage to a single-
ended stage. What happens is simple: the inverted signal is ignored. Only the top half of the
inverter signal is used.
Licensing and copy protection
ReValver® MK III utilizes a copy protection system that is entirely software based. There is no need
to buy or purchase a driver to make the program work.
A license for the program, or a sub feature of the program, is handled through license files in text
format. These license files are locked to a particular hardware component on the computer in
question. The actual component can be chosen from a number of types (but at the time of writ-
ing, only the “system drive” can be chosen). You may upgrade your hardware any number of
times, requiring a new license file (which can be downloaded through the Peavey web site, or the
accompanying Activation Tool).
