HALF-RACK EFFECTS

The Signal Flow graphs
On the back of each effect device, you will find two or three small “graphs”. These indicate how the effect device han-
dles mono and stereo signals, depending on the connections. The selection of graphs for a device tells you how it
should be used, according to the following rules:
|
Graph
|
Description
Can be connected as a mono-in, mono-out device.
(Of course, all effect devices
can
be connected in mono. However, if this graph isn’t shown for a device, this
means that a mono-in, mono-out connection may not give the proper results).
Can be connected as a mono-in, stereo-out device. This means that the device creates some sort of stereo ef-
fect (e.g. a reverb) or a mono effect that can be panned.
If you connect both inputs and outputs in stereo, the two sides will be processed independently (dual mono pro-
cessing).
If you connect both inputs and outputs in stereo, the two sides are summed before the effect processing. How-
ever, the actual effect is in stereo (and the dry signal will remain in stereo, if it is passed through the effect).
“True stereo” processing, or “stereo in - stereo out” processing. When you connect the inputs in stereo, each
channel in the effect uses the signal information from both inputs. However, the inputs are not summed - the
two channels are processed differently.
This mode is available on the RV7000 Advanced Reverb - see “RV7000 Advanced Reverb”.
