7. Key Filter. This sets the frequency at which the compressor will
engage. The compressor will still process the entire frequency range,
but it is only engaged when the specified frequency is present.
8. Key Listen. Press to listen to the signal being used to trigger the
compressor,as set with the Key Filter control (including the effects of the
high-pass filter). Press again to switch back to the normal channel signal.
6.2.4 Changing the Signal Chain
The Compressor and EQ can be reordered in the signal path. By default, the
signal passes through the compressor before passing through the EQ. When
reordered, the EQ is placed before the compressor in the signal path.
Power User Tip: Placing the compressor before the EQ allows you to make dramatic
changes to the EQ settings without needing to alter the compressor setting. However, if
you place the EQ before the compressor, you can better control different frequencies,
achieving a more natural response.
6.2.5 Equalizer
As previously mentioned, an EQ (or equalizer) is a tone control that lets
you make changes in the tonal balance of a signal. You can boost or cut
the level of ranges of frequencies, to make corrective or creative changes
to the signal. Like the compressor, your Revelator is equipped with three
EQ models from which to choose: Standard, Passive, and Vintage.
These distinct EQ models have their own set of controls and behavior:
• Standard EQ. A clean and full-featured EQ that offers transparent tone shaping.
• Passive Program EQ. A model of a tube-based EQ with
simple, quick and a classic tonal character.
• Vintage 1970s EQ. A model of a classic solid-state EQ, with
simple, musical frequency settings and a lot of character.
To change the EQ model, click on the dropdown menu. Note:
The EQ will turn off whenever a new model is loaded and must
be re-enabled for you to hear its effect on your voice.
