LO COL
The LO COL (low color) parameter aects the low frequency content of the
processed signal. By increasing the LO COL parameter, you will hear a resulting
increase in the low frequency content of the reverb. By contrast, reducing the
LO COL parameter value will result in a decrease in the low frequency content of
the reverb.
Pressing the LO COL up and down buttons allows you to adust the value from
1 to 20, as shown in the display.
COLOR
The COLOR (high color) parameter aects the high frequency content of the
processed signal. By increasing the COLOR parameter, you will hear a resulting
increase in the high frequency content of the reverb. By contrast, reducing the
COLOR parameter value will result in a decrease in the high frequency content of
the reverb.
Note: Typically, reverbs that are described as ”cold” have a high frequency
content that is not normally present in most naturally occurring reverbs. To get a
”warmer” or more natural reverb, increase the LO COL (Low Color) and decrease
the COLOR (high color) parameter values. Alternatively, you can use the EARLY
COLOR parameter in the plugin to further reduce the high frequencies.
Pressing the COLOR up and down buttons allows you to adust the value from
1 to 20, as shown in the display.
MOD.
The MOD parameter sets the depth of the modulation added to the reverb.
Modulation adds a subtle and tasteful amount of animation to the reverb decay
creating very rich and sonically complex decays. The modulation types each have
dierent characteristics, and vary by the Reverb Type that is selected. To make
the reverb sit best in the mix or to get a dierent sound, it is sometimes nice to
add in modulation to the reverb.
Note: Speed of the modulation can be adjusted with the MOD RATE parameter in
the plugin.
Pressing the MOD. up and down buttons allows you to adust the value from
1 to 20, as shown in the display.
Main Section
The numerical display in the Main section shows the current value of the DECAY,
or the current paramemters for PRE DELAY, DRY/WET, EARLY/REV, or the current
Preset number.
DECAY
The Decay time is the main parameter for the TC8210 reverb. It is usually
associated with the time it takes for the Reverb Diuse Field to decay 60 dB.
Press the DECAY up and down buttons to adust the value of the decay time.
The available maximum and minimum level values vary with the reverb type
as follows:
Reverb Minimum Maximum
TC Hall 0.20 6.0
Box 0.05 1.2
Ambient 0.10 1.0
Room 0.05 1.2
Club 0.05 1.7
Live 0.10 4.0
Plate 0.10 10.0
Spring 0.10 12.0
PRE DELAY
The PRE DELAY parameter delays the starting point of the reverb’s Initial
Reections and the decay tail. This parameter can be used to change the sense
of the size of the room, for example to make the room larger, increase the
PRE DELAY time so that the reverb’s decay starts later.
Note: Choosing a higher PRE DELAY time is often used to separate for example,
the lead vocal and its reverb so the vocal stands out of the mix more clearly.
Tip: Setting up multiple aux sends in the DAW audio project all with their own
and dierently set delay plugin and sending these aux output signals to the
same reverb will enable dierent layers of depth in the mix while using only one
combining reverb sound in the mix.
Select PRE DELAY by pressing the SELECT button until the red LED lights next to
the PRE DELAY text in the hardware display.
Press the VALUE up and down buttons to adust the value of the pre delay. The
available maximum and minimum level values vary, depending on the reverb
type as follows:
Reverb Minimum Maximum
TC Hall 0 100
Box 0 25
Ambient 0 100
Room 0 35
Club 0 25
Live 0 100
Plate 0 100
Spring 0 100
DRY/WET
When using TC8210 on an aux send in the DAW project, the DRY/WET parameter
should be set to 99 (=100%) where all direct signal is muted to reduce the
possibility of phasing issues when mixing it back into the master bus.
Select DRY/WET by pressing the SELECT button until the red LED lights next to the
DRY/WET text in the hardware display.
Press the VALUE up and down button to adjust the value from 0 to 99 (=100%).
The TC8210 plug-in user interface will also show the adjustment of the
DRY/WET value.
