User Manual

The low latency mixers provide all basic functions of a real mixer such as: Solo, Mute, Pan,

Stereo Link, Volume Level fader control and a Master Fader, so you can easily make a stereo

mix plus an Auxiliary send in order to use AuraVerb.

AuraVerb is a powerful and ﬂexible algorithmic reverb effect powered by Zen Tour’s Custom

FPGA-based DSP. It provides near zero-latency effect monitoring without taxing your CPU.

AuraVerb can also be used as a hardware effect from your DAW. That way you can take

advantage of its rich and unique sound while mixing or mastering.

By default the effect is switched off.

Quick Start

AuraVerb appears as a pre-fader send effect on the Zen Tour’s Mixer 1. To send a signal to the

reverb, turn up the send control on a mixer channel and use the reverb output level to adjust

the return to the mixer’s master channel. To hear the reverb, route the mixer output to your

monitors by clicking and dragging MIX 1 [1] [2] to MONITOR [1] [2] on the routing matrix.

Fine tune the reverb mix by balancing between the dry signal on the mixer channel’s fader

and the reverb Output Level knob.

AuraVerb Parameters

• Color

AuraVerb’s Color control allows you to adjust the overall tone of the reverb. On “0” the

space created is darker, like a lushly carpeted area. On “100” the reverb sounds the

brightest, which can add some sizzle to a lead vocal, for example.

• PreDelay

PreDelay is a common function on most reverb effects and allows you to create a bit of

space between the source and the onset of reverb by controlling the amount of delay

time that precedes the initial reverberated sound. This parameter is used to place the

reverberated signal later in time with respect to the unprocessed signal. Natural settings

for this are based on the size of the environment and range from 0 to 32 milliseconds. Fine

adjustment of this parameter with respect to the tempo of the song or dramatic timing of

the piece can help set the feel of the reverb within the mix.
