DVR2 DIGITAL VINTAGE REVERB Congratulations with the purchase of your new TDM Vintage Reverb plug-in. DVR2 offers a pristine Generic Reverb with true vintage flavor. The term “Generic Reverb” is used to describe a flattering sustain effect, which can be added to many sources of a mix. It produces little character but also does no harm, because the effect is blurred or washed out. Instead, it adds a good sense of spaciousness and more or less pronounced modulation.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • • • • • • Mac OS X (10.4 or higher) / Windows XP Pro Tools TDM 7.2.1 software (or higher) Pro Tools HD or HD Accel hardware iLok USB key iLok.com account and internet access required for product authorization System must meet Digidesign’s system requirements for Pro Tools TDM systems!

OVERLOAD INDICATION (O/L) ENGLISH The O/L-LED in the metering section, on the left side of the input meters, will light up in case internal DSP overloads are detected. You should lower the input level to avoid these overloads.
THE PLUG-IN PARAMETERS MAIN PAGE On the DVR2 Main page, you can find all controls of DVR2 as well as the plug-in’s preset handling. More about the preset handling can be found in the section “Preset Handling” later in this manual. REVERB Decay Range: 0.4 – 4.5s Adjusts the Master Decay time. Lo Decay Decay multiplier for low frequencies. For a x1.0 setting, low frequency decay will equal the Decay setting. Hi Decay Range: 0.25 to Max. Decay multiplier for hi frequencies. For a x1.
Pre Delay Range: 0-500ms (Vintage values: 0, 20, 40 and 60ms) Pre delay is the amount of time from an input is received until reverb starts building up at the output. VINTAGE Modulation Range: 0% – 200% (default: 100%) Sets the Depth of the modulation. Normal set to 100%. Increase if you like a more liquid, chorus like sound. Hi Cut Range: 8kHz – 13kHz (default: 11kHz) This is DVR2´s HiCut and can be used to limit or extend the overall frequency spectrum. Q Scale Range: 0.3 – 1.4 (default: 1.
LEVELS Input Level Range: Off to 0dB Sets the Input level for the plug-in. It may be necessary to lower the input level if signals close to full scale are fed to the plug-in. Reduce the input level in case you experience overloads (O/L). Wet Level Range: Off – 0dB Adjusts the reverb (wet) level of the output channels. Dry Level Range: Off to 0dB ENGLISH Adjusts the dry signal level of the output channels. For a typical send/return configuration, leave dry level off.
Preset Management TC's comprehensive file based preset architecture makes archiving presets a simple process. This allows you to organize your presets the way you find most comfortable for your workflow, and to exchange presets with other users, no matter the platform or application. Presets are saved as discrete files on your hard drive. Once a preset is saved into the default location, it will automatically appear in the 'File' menu every time you use the plug-in.
DEFAULT PRESET LOCATIONS The following locations will describe where you can find the DVR2 presets.
Note: In case you are running the Icon Editor on the same computer as the DVR2 plug-in, the DVR2 will automatically search for preset files in the default locations for Reverb 4000 and System 6000 files. You do not need to copy the files! Once your preset file has been placed in the default DVR2 Preset folder, it will show up the next time you click the "File" button. At the top of the pop-up list you'll find a section called "Convert", and the name of your preset file will be listed here.
COMPARE SETTINGS WITH A/B MEM. With the A/B compare function you can easily compare different parameter settings when you work with your music. You have two buttons: the “Mem” and the “A/B” button. When you start working with your preset, the A/B button is grayed out. This state indicates that the settings in both memory locations A and B are identical – so there is actually nothing to compare.
The parameter lock only affects parameter changes made with the mouse. The parameter lock does not affect automation data or preset changes initialized from the host application. These changes will always pass. An example: You have inserted the DVR2 on a channel. When you use the DVR2 as an insert effect, you would probably like the dry part of the signal to go trough the DVR2, and therefore you’d probably turn up the “Dry Level”.
