Master Module Reverb Parameters
PRE DELAY Knob
A short delay placed between the direct signal and the
reverb’s diffuse field. By using pre-delay, the source
material is kept clear and undisturbed.
Range: 0 to 100 ms
DECAY Knob
The Decay parameter determines the length of the
reverb diffuse field. The length is defined as the time it
takes for the reverb to decay approximately 60 dB.
Range: 10 ms to 20 seconds
COLOR Knob
Varies the “color” of the reverb. From dark to crisp
and bright, the Color parameter can really change the
characteristics and style of the reverb.
Range: -50 (dark) to +50 (bright)
MUTE Button
Mutes the reverb module.
Fader
Master level control for the reverb module.
Reverb level and decay can also be controlled on
the front panel of the Impact Twin using the
ADJUST knob.

From the Master Module’s drop down
menu, you can select which DAW
channel pair should be mixed with
Impact Twin’s physical inputs.
Options are:
DAW MIX Knob
Controls the balance between the
channels of the mixer and the DAW
signal.
When set to 0 %, you hear only the
sources connected to the physical inputs
on the Impact Twin.
When set to 100 %, you only hear your
DAW. 100 % is the same as turning
direct monitoring OFF.
Signal LED
Indicates when a signal is present on the selected input.
100 % Button
Clicking this button sets the DAW MIX parameter to 100
% This way, you can quickly turn off direct monitoring.
STEREO / MONO / SIDE Buttons
Use these buttons to toggle between Stereo, Mono and
Side monitoring.
Monitoring the side component only is especially
interesting when comparing a data-reduced format
(such as MP3 or AAC) to a linear signal, or to a
data reduced signal at a different bit rate.
(You can find additional information on page 10.)

Patchbay Module
Via the Patch bay module you can route the various
physical inputs, the 14 FireWire channels (7 pairs) from
your DAW and also the TC Near mixer’s effects send to
Impact Twin’s physical outputs.
Simply use your mouse and click on the connection you
would like to establish.
DAW mix can also be controlled on the front panel
of the Impact Twin using the ADJUST knob.
The “M” within a green circle in the DAW status
display indicates that this device is the clock
master in the setup. In setups with multiple audio
interfaces, only one of the audio interfaces can be clock
master.
If the display shows NO LOCK, the connection to the
computer is unstable. For more information, please refer
to the Operation Mode parameter in “System Settings”.
