M3000 Addendum For Film and Post Production M3000
FILM AND POST PRODUCTION REVERB VSSFP & VSSSR In the original M3000 VSS3 processor intensive Early Reflection patterns were used specifically to enable simulation of beautiful rooms for conventional music applications. Due to the control over the Early Reflections we ended up with a reverb that sounded well - it is an unparalleled success.

VSSFP - FILM & POST VSSFP The VSS-FP (Film- & Post-Production) reverb algorithm is a special version of VSS-3, incorporating dedicated Early Reflection types for motion picture use, e.g. Car, Bathroom and Conference Rooms. VSSFP Reverb Decay (0.01 - 20s) The Decay time of the Reverb. Usually associated with the time it takes the Reverb tail to decay 60dB. This is the overall Master Decay for the four band Decay parameters (found in the REVERB section below) which are multiples of this base Reverb time.
VSSFP - FILM & POST Low Cut (20Hz - 400Hz) This adjustable filter removes low frequencies for the Early Reflections. Reverb Tail Rev Type (Smooth, Natural, Alive) Adjust this parameter with the Early Lev turned all the way off and the Rev Lev all the way up. Change the type to get a feel of what each one sounds like. Hi Decay (0.01 - 2.5) Multiplier for the frequencies above the Hi Xover frequency. Example: If the main Decay parameter is set to 2.0sec and the Hi Decay parameter is set to 1.
VSSFP - FILM & POST Modulation The Reverb Mod and the Space Mod work on the tail of the reverb and gives you the ability to tweak the tail in different ways. To isolate and listen only to the tail you should turn the Early level off; set the mix to 100% and then turn the Depth parameter all the way up. Try changing the Type of Modulation and listen to its effect on the tail. Be aware that by using extensive modulation of the tail you might get a detuning effect of the source material.
VSSSR - SURROUND Surround VSS-SR PRE DELAY EARLY REFL. EQ Early Reflections + Direction Generator Dual Reverb + Air Flow Simulator + Surround Encode DELAY FRONT REVERB FRONT DELAY REAR REVERB REAR EQ AIR FLOW SIMULATE SUR ENCODE On top of the Early Reflections generator, each Engine may process two completely independent reverb systems, hereby enabling the operator to set separate Delay and Decay times in front and rear channels. M3000 and Surround decoder setup.
VSSSR - SURROUND VSS-SR (Surround) The VSS-SR (Surround) algorithm is a unique room simulator with new facilities for surround production. The diffused field of the simulation is turned into a Front/Rear composition with separate Decay, Level and Predelay parameters for front and rear. The composite output of the simulator is compatible with mono, stereo and surround reproduction.
VSSSR - SURROUND Hi Color (±50) Adjusts the spectral balance of the Early Type. The Hi Color parameter is actually an advanced Hi Cut parameter. The default setting of this parameter is customized to each of the Early Types. Lo Cut (20Hz - 400Hz) This adjustable filter removes low frequencies for the Early Reflections. Reverb Tail Rev Type (Smooth, Natural, Alive) Adjust this parameter with the Early Lev turned all the way off and the Rev Lev all the way up.
VSSSR - SURROUND Reverb Mod Type (Off, Smooth 1, Smooth 2, Perc, Wow, Vintage, Wild) Adjusts the type of modulation. Rate (-100, default, +100) Allows you to offset the speed of the LFO from the factory default assigned to each Type. Width (0% - 200%) Sets the Width of the modulation. Space Mod This group of parameters sets the way the sound moves about the room. Type (Off, Normal, Fast, Slow, MidFreq, Sync).
VSS 3 - CHANGES Changes in the VSS-3 reverb algorithm We have improved the VSS-3 algorithm with extra Early Reflection patterns (Club in Small, Medium, Large) and Rev Types (Fast Wd and Fast St). These additions have been made to enable VSS-3 to do the very small and tight reverb presets that often are difficult to achieve. 14 new presets have been made and are placed at the places originally containing post-presets (#212 to 225).
PRESET LIST VSS-FP and VSS-SR algorithms preset list The purpose of the 250 Single engine and 50 Combined factory presets is to give you a wide range of starting points for your work. Generally it's faster to dial up a preset with the right name and then adjust it from there, than to construct it from scratch. All presets in the M3000 are made by high-end film and postproduction professionals from leading facilities in US and Europe.
PRESET LIST Medium sized rooms and spaces (Indoor Medium) Presets #290 to #319. Domestic rooms and spaces are the dominant part of this preset block, but also public rooms are represented.

The largest indoor areas imaginable. This includes only public areas, like e.g. railway-stations and parking garage buildings.
PRESET LIST Medium sized outdoor areas (Outdoor Medium) Presets #410 to 415. These presets address the outdoors. Here we have different medium sized reverbs for outdoor applications. # 410 411 412 413 414 415 Name Courtyard Market Alley HarlemStreetAtNight Stone Garden Boat Trip In Venice Large outdoor presets (Outdoor XL) Presets #416 to 429. Typical larger outdoor areas, like backyards and reverb between buildings at the street.
PRESET LIST Effect reverb settings Presets #460 to 469. A small block of special reverb settings that cannot be categorized into any real-world application. These presets can be used for sound effect purposes.
PRESET LIST Combined reverb presets Presets #51 to 100. The combined preset bank offers a variety of suggestions on how to gain full benefit from the two-engine structure of the M3000. A lot of really unique reverb effects can be obtained. The categorization is not as strict as with the Single presets due to the many different applications these settings are designed for. Please note that presets #96 to #100 are made from the VSS-Surround algorithm.
