Audio Damage ADverb - Manual (Page 9)

The OUTPUT MIX slider adjusts the relative loudness of the processed signal and the original signal. If you set
it at zero, you’ll hear only the original, unprocessed signal. If you set it at ten, you’ll hear only the
reverberation. You can probably guess what happens if you set it somewhere in between, right?
Where you should set the OUTPUT MIX slider depends upon how you’re using the plug-in within your host
program. If you’re using it as a send effect, set the slider to ten so that only the processed signal is present in
the output since the dry signal is already entering your host’s mixer. If you’re using it as an insert effect on an
instrument channel, usually you’ll want to position it approximately in the middle of its range so that you hear
more or less equal amounts of the instrument’s signal and the reverberation. Let your ears be your guide, as
always.
8. Mute Buttons
The INPUT MUTE button silences the input signal altogether. It does not silence the reverb tail, if one is
present. Use it to temporarily silence the reverb if you’re using it as a send effect, or for special effects such
as unmuting the input just for certain hits in a drum pattern.
The REVERB STOP button silences the reverberated output signal. It does not silence the dry signal. It has
applications similar to the input mute button: a handy way to turn the reverb effect on and off, and a means
for creating unsual effects.
MIDI Controllers
ADverb responds to MIDI continuous controller messages. You can use hardware MIDI controllers, such as
MIDI slider boxes or the knobs found on some MIDI keyboards, to adjust ADverb’s parameters.
ADverb has a simple “MIDI Learn” mode for assigning its knobs to MIDI controllers. To assign a knob to a
MIDI controller:
1. Hold down the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys on your PC’s keyboard, or
SHIFT
and
CMD
keys if you’re using a Mac,
and click once on the knob. A white box will be drawn around the control to indicate that it is ready to
learn which MIDI controller it will be assigned to.
2. Move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the button,
move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
3. The white square will disappear. Now the knob will move when you manipulate the MIDI controller.
