NonLin2
Introduction
NonLin2 is an Effect Reverb with controllable En-
velope, Attack, Hold and Release. It is capable of
generating compact Vocal Ambience, dramatic
eighties drum and percussion sounds, Reverse
Reverb or completely new and twisted effects.
NonLin2 also does classic Gated Reverb, but be-
cause it doesn’t need to be triggered, it can be
used on all sorts of program material.
The eighties – with a twist
Compared to effect Reverbs from the past, Non-
Lin2 features longer and more diffused response
with a higher resolution, but classic, low density
processing is also available. However, there is
more to updating a classic than free Envelope,
selectable response and higher resolution.
NonLin2 also features a Twist parameter, which
radically alters the sound, sometimes in weird
ways. Adding Twist may not always be pretty,
but the parameter truly is a new spice included
to spark imagination and storytelling, and which
can be used to add character to any source of
a mix.
The NonLin2 algorithm occupies:
– @ Normal Sample Rate: 1/4 DSP Resource
– @ Double Sample Rate: 1/4 DSP Resource
The inputs and outputs of this algorithm are dis-
tributed as follows:

Pre Delay
Range: 0 to 500 ms
Pre Delay offsets the Output and timing of the
Envelope Generator. It is typically used to obtain
depth and definition in a mix, or align the effect
with a musical beat. Delays in the 10 to 40 ms
range can be considered for percussive sounds,
while dense vocal slap effects could use 70 to
150 ms of Pre Delay.
Attack
Range: 0 to 500 ms
Sets the Attack time (= build up) of the Reverb
Envelope.
Max. range for this parameter depends on the
Hold and Release settings.
Hold
Range: 0 to 500 ms
Sets the Hold time (= fully open time) of the Re-
verb Envelope. For a typical eighties style re-
sponse, Hold should be set at 60 to 120 ms.
Max. range for this parameter depends on the
Attack and Release settings.
Release
Range: 0 to 500 ms
Sets the Hold time (= Decay) of the Reverb En-
velope.
For a typical eighties style response, Release
should be set at 0 to 100 ms. The most gated
