V-VERB PRO REV2496

You can use both digital and analog audio
connections at the same time to supply both engines
with different signals. Therefore, a fully equipped
4-channel reverb processor stands at your disposal.
Even when running the REV2496 at 96 kHz, there are
absolutely no performance limitations!
The master input is selected in the setup menu. You can change
the input and output configuration in the COMBI. edit mode.
At the WORDCLOCK input, you can connect an external
wordclock signal for synchronizing your REV2496 through
other equipment. This connector is provided as a high-
impedance BNC coaxial connector and has no internal
terminating resistor. Please follow the instructions given in
chapter 7.4.
Fig. 2.6: MIDI connections and mains connector
The MIDI connections allow communication between the
REV2496 and other MIDI-enabled equipment. MIDI data is
received via the MIDI IN connector, and MIDI commands
are sent out via the MIDI OUT connector. Incoming MIDI
commands are passed unprocessed to the MIDI THRU
connector.
The mains connection is established using a cable with an
IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is included.
You can replace fuses at the FUSE SWITCH of the
REV2496. Always replace fuses with the same type.
Please follow the instructions given in chapter
9 “SPECIFICATIONS.”
3. OPERATION
3.1 The effect presets
The first time that you use the REV2496, we suggest first
working with effect presets before you start programming your
own effects. The REV2496 features two independent
processors (so-called engines) that can be used individually or
at the same time. Each engine can process a different effect.
+
Please keep in mind that engines always run in
pairs and are wired according to the selected
routing (see fig. 3.6). The routing is assigned and
stored in the COMBI. edit mode.
The REV2496 features 400 memory locations that are
subdivided as follows: 200 slots reserved for the engines A and
B as well as additional 200 locations for the combination effects.
Both subdivisions of 200 storage slots are further divided up
into two banks with 100 slots each. The first 100 slots (001 - 100)
are factory presets that cannot be overwritten, and are labeled in
the display on the recall page under BANK as ROM (Read Only
Memory). The remaining 100 slots can be overwritten and are
labeled “USER”. Both banks are located back-to-back, whereby
the ROM presets (001 - 100) are shown first (by using the PRESET
wheel), followed by the USER presets (101 - 200).

Tab. 3.1: Storage slots of the REV2496
The REV2496 features 14 effect algorithms. An algorithm is
basically a mathematical formula that calculates a particular effect
type (e.g. reverb or delay). You could also compare the REV2496
to a computer whose processor capacity can be used for a
multitude of programs with different purposes. An algorithm
would in this case correspond to a computer program. All
algorithms are described in detail in chapter 4. Each of the first
14 storage slots (001 to 014) contains one of the algorithms.
Therefore, if you are looking for a particular effect type, you
should load up one of these presets.
3.2 Selecting presets
When you power up your REV2496, the preset you used last
is automatically loaded. To dial up another preset, press ENGINE
A, ENGINE B or COMBI. key, depending on whether you wish to
load a preset into the engine A, engine B or if you are loading a
combination preset. Then, select the desired preset number using
the PRESET wheel. Press OK/TAP to confirm your selection. The
preset is now loaded. If you don’t want to load up a new program,
or if you accidentally selected one, press ENGINE A, ENGINE B
or COMBI. to go back to the current preset.
+
The new preset is only loaded after you confirm
your choice by pressing the OK/TAP key.
+
When changing presets, please keep in mind that
different effect algorithms may have different
volume levels. Therefore, when selecting a new
preset, first reduce its volume. Volume differences
can be equalized with the storable Parameter FX
Level (see chapter 3.8.3).
3.3 Editing presets
You can change any preset to adjust it to your own preferences
or to the requirements of a particular instrument or musical piece.
The REV2496 features a plethora of parameters (with V-Verb,
up to 30) that let you modify every detail of an effect. To help you
keep track of these adjustment options, there are several ways
of editing effects available to you:
s
simple editing of the four most important parameters directly
after loading a preset
s editing of all parameters in the EDIT menu
s editing with graphical visualization (GRAPH menu)
These different operating modes are explained in detail in the
following chapters:
