Reverb
The Reverb effect allows you to add a bit of reverb (not echo!) and presence
to Tsunami’s sound effects. Be forewarned - unless you are a trained audio
technician, adjusting the reverb effects can easily result in some strange
or unpleasant results. We recommend you take your time and experiment
cautiously.
There are eight CVs associated with the Reverb module:
CV 161, Reverb Control Register
CV 162, Reverb Output Level
CV 163, Reverb Delay Time
CV 164, Reverb Feedback Level
CV 169, Mixer Ch 0 Reverb Send Level
CV 170, Mixer Ch 1 Reverb Send Level
CV 171, Mixer Ch 2 Reverb Send Level
CV 172, Mixer Ch 3 Reverb Send Level
Reverb Control Register
CV 161 is the Reverb Control
Register which allows you to
select one of several Reverb
Presets or to choose the User
Adjustable Reverb.
The presets contain
predetermined values for the
Reverb Output Level, Reverb
Delay, Reverb Feedback
Gain level, and Reverb Send
Levels. Table J lists the
available presets and the
corresponding value for
CV 161.
User Adjustable Reverb
The Reverb works by simulating the effect created when a sound wave is
heard along with a delayed version of the sound that has been reflected off of
some other hard surface. Tsunami’s reverb is designed to produce a reverb
effect due to early sound reflections off a nearby surface such as a rock cut
or a canyon wall.
The User Adjustable Reverb provides three controls plus an input mixer
(described in the next section). The Reverb Controls are as follows:
CV 162, Reverb Output Level
This CV determines the amount of reverb signal that is mixed back
with the original audio signal. CV 162 may be set to any value
between 0 (minimum) and 255 (maximum).
