The RV7000 Advanced Reverb
The RV7000 is a high quality reverb processor. It features nine different reverb and echo algorithms, ranging from
rooms and halls to special effects. Since the RV7000 comes with a number of useful reverb presets, you could simply
select one and tweak the most important parameters on the main panel - or you could use the Remote Programmer
panel to fine-tune the reverb in great detail.
The RV7000 also contains an equalizer and a gate section. Both of these are for processing the actual reverb sound,
making it possible to get virtually any kind of reverb character, including gated reverb.
About the Patch format
Like the Scream 4 device, the RV7000 features programmable effect presets. In the Factory Sound Bank will find a
number of preset Patches which can be used as they are or provide you with a good starting point for further tweak-
ing.
Patches use the Windows file extension “*.RV7”. Loading and saving Patches is done in the same way as for instru-
ment devices.
Connections
Typically you connect the RV7000 as a send effect, as this allows you to use it for processing several different mixer
channels. However, it’s also possible to use it as an insert effect - use the Dry/Wet control on the main panel to ad-
just the balance between the dry, unprocessed sound and the reverb. Note:
D The RV7000 is a true stereo reverb, which means that it will use the stereo input information when processing
both channels (without summing the input channels).
It’s also possible to use it as a mono in - stereo out effect. Which type of connection to use (mono or stereo in) de-
pends on the material. If the audio sources are in mono (or in stereo but with no important difference between the
left and right channel) using a mono input is sufficient.
D If you want to use RV7000’s Reverse reverb effect, you should consider connecting it as an insert effect or us-
ing Send 4 on the Mixer, with Pre-fader mode selected (and the channel fader lowered).
This is because you typically don’t want to hear the dry sound when using the Reverse effect. See “The Gate sec-
tion”.
The main panel
The RV7000 main panel.
When you create an RV7000, only the main panel will be shown. This contains a section for handling patches, on/off
buttons for the EQ and Gate sections, the most important reverb parameters and a dry/wet mix control. To select a
reverb patch and make coarse adjustments, this is all you need.
