DeepMind 12 User Manual Plate Reverb Reverse Reverb A plate reverb was originally created by sending a signal through a transducer to create vibrations on a plate of sheet metal which were then picked up as an audio signal. Our algorithm simulates that sound with high initial diffusion and a bright colored sound. The Plate Reverb will give your tracks the sound heard on countless hit records since the late 1950s.
DeepMind 12 User Manual Delay + Chamber Here we have combined Delay and Chamber reverb, so a single device can provide a variety of delay settings, plus add just the right type and amount of reverb to the selected signal. This device only uses one FX slot. (The Reverb is Inspired by the Lexicon PCM 70) Use the BALANCE knob to adjust the ratio between delay and reverb. Low frequencies can be excluded with the LO CUT knob, and the MIX adjusts how much of the effect is added to the signal.
DeepMind 12 User Manual Rack Amplifier NoiseGate Modelled after the Tech 21 SansAmp, the Stereo / Dual Guitar Amp simulates the sound of plugging into a real guitar amp. From shimmering cleans to saturated crunch, the Stereo / Dual Guitar Amp allows an electric guitar player to sound great without using an amp on stage. The PREAMP knob adjusts the amount of input gain prior to the band-specific distortion adjustment.
DeepMind 12 User Manual 4-Tap Delay Modulation Delay + Reverb The 4-Tap Delay provides 4 stages of delay with independently adjustable gain and rate, allowing unique syncopation to be created in the layered repeats. Modulation Delay combines three of the most used time modulation effects into one easy-to-operate unit, featuring true-stereo delay with a lush chorus, topped off with three reverb models to choose from. TIME sets the master delay time, which is also the delay time for the first stage.
DeepMind 12 User Manual Flanger Stereo / Dual Pitch The Flanger emulates the phase-shifting sound (comb-filtering) originally created by applying pressure against the flange of the reel on a tape recorder. This effect creates a unique “wobbly” sound that is quite dramatic when used on vocals and instruments. Pitch shifting is often used in two different ways. One is to set the Mix knob lower and only use the Cent knob to make a small off set in pitch between the wet and dry tones.
