Reverb Parameters
Parameter Description
REVERB INPUT This determines whether the input to the reverb section is active (pass-
ing a signal) or muted (not passing a signal).
REVERB LVL This determines the level of the reverb signal at the output relative to the
direct signal and any other effect signals. It is accessible from both the
Mixer function and Reverb function.
REVERB DECAY This specifies the length of time that the reverb signal will sound before
it has completely faded out (or until its echoes have been ultimately
absorbed by the boundaries within the given "room"). The maximum
length of this decay will vary dependent upon which reverb type is
active.
RV HF DAMP High Frequency Damping is used to control the amount of high fre-
quency information in the reverb signal.
LOW FREQ This determines the amount of low frequency information in the reverb
signal.
REV TYPE This determines the current active reverb type (Room, Plate, etc.).
DIR IN PAN This allows you to pan the direct input signal to the reverb section to the
left or right - allowing for only the left or right channel to be reverberated
when used with the Dual reverb type, or, for one channel to be reverber-
ated to a greater degree than the other. It is adjustable from 0 to 100—
where "0" = full left, "100" = full right and "50" = center.
PREDELAY L This determines the amount of time after a signal is input to the Intellifex
XL that the left channel signal will be input to the Reverb. Delaying the
reverb signal provides greater separation of the input and reverb signals
and helps to increase the apparent size of the Room, Hall, or Stadium.
PREDELAY R This determines the length of time after a signal is input to the Intellifex
XL that the right channel signal will be input to the Reverb.
GATE Gating the reverb signal closes down the decay of the reverb very
quickly after a prescribed amount of time (most commonly a very short
period of time). This effect is often used on drums (particularly snare
drums) to produce the effect of a much fatter percussive sound. Note
that gating on the Intellifex XL acts on the reverb decay, not on the
reverb output as on many other units.
GATE DECAY The Gate Decay parameter determines how quickly the gate will close
down the reverb decay after the reverb has sounded for the specified
time.
GATE THRESH The Gate Threshold determines the threshold point at which gating will
take place. When the signal is below this threshold point for a period of
time, the reverb will be gated. When the input signal peak rises above
this threshold, the gate will open and reverb will be heard.
HOLD TIME The Hold Time determines how long the reverb signal will sound before
the gate begins to close.
