Reverb8
34 System 6000 MKII Algorithms – Firmware version 6.5.0
Using Reverb8
Load one of the Reverb8 presets into an Engine
and go to its Main page (see Fig7).
Fig7. Main Page with typical fader assignments
The most important pages for quick edits are
Main and Grid.
On the Main page, use Groups to quickly bal-
ance levels and adjust timing, or make A/B
comparisons using the Mute and Zero func-
tions. See “Reverb 8 algorithm – Main page”
(page 36).
On the Grid page, use the graphic display to
weigh reverb parameters using an intuitive,
visual approach – see “Using the Grid” (page
34).
Please note that there are always two Groups of
Channels. You assign Channels to these Groups
on the Setup page – see “Reverb 8 algorithm –
Setup page” (page 39).
In Surround Mode presets, channels 1 to 3 are
assigned to Group 1, while all other channels are
assigned to Group 2.
Using the Grid
The Grid page of Reverb 8 provides a new ap-
proach to multichannel editing. The four param-
eters shown below the Grid can quickly be var-
ied across the algorithm’s channels by offsetting
a dot from its center position.
Select one of the four parameters shown be-
low the Grid:
Decay
Lo Decay
Hi Decay
Hi Cut
A green dot in the actual Grid will now repre-
sent the selected parameter’s status.
Set the selected parameter to a base value.
Click the Reset button to center the dot and
set the associated parameter to the same val-
ue on all channels, or
move the dot to obtain the variation required.
Reverb8 provides decorrelated outputs,
wether the Grid parameters are set to the
same setting or not.
Fig 8 shows the Grid with the Assignment pa-
rameter set to Surround. In this illustration, the
Decay parameter has been selected and moved
towards channel 8 in the lower right corner.
