Owner’s Manual

What Are ADD-ON EFFECTS?

ADD-ON EFFECTS are software packages that install additional high-quality effects programs on digital

consoles.

What is Room ER?

Room ER is one of the effects programs that can be used as ADD-ON EFFECTS.

It simulates the change in a room’s reﬂected sound that occurs as a monaural sound source or the listening point moves around.

You can set things like the path of movement and the size of the room, and thereby change the volume, orientation, and sound.

What is the Interactive Spatial Sound Processor (iSSP)?

iSSP is a technology that combines two components. The ﬁrst is a geometric sound simulator that

attenuates sound according to an estimate of the sound reﬂection that results from the shape of a room.

The simulation considers the direction of the sound source and the room’s surface materials when

determining the sound. The second is multi-channel signal processor technology that uses information

about the position of the sound source to perform distance attenuation based on the balance and delay/

ﬁlter for each output channel.

iSSP technology is used in Room ER.

1 Position View In this view you can display or edit the shape or size of the room, the position and orientation of the listener and sound source, and the path of the automation. 1 4 2 4 2 3 5 5 1 1 Relative Position Display Normally, this displays the angle of the sound source as seen from the orientation of the listener, the distance between the sound source and the listener, and the angle of the sound source as seen from the direction of the listener.
PAGE 5
4 Sound Source You can change the position and orientation of the sound source. However, orientation is not displayed for an omni directional sound source. (For information about directivity, see the “DIRECT.CHARACTER/[SRC TYPE] Knob” on page 6.) Changing the Position and Orientation of the Sound Source If you press the key, a plus (+) sign is added beside the mouse cursor, and you can simultaneously select multiple Key Points, the sound sources or listener.

3 SCALE The scale settings are related to the size and shape of the room. [SCALE] Slider/[SCALE] Knob Changes the size of the room. The markings indicate the longer side length of the room in meters. SCALE Display Displays the longer side length of the room in meters. You can change this value by double clicking in the Room ER window, then typing a number from the keyboard, or by dragging vertically with the mouse. ASPECT Display/[ASPECT] Knob Changes the aspect ratio of the room.

5 LISTENER Sets the position and orientation of the listener. Left/Right Position Display/[LIS L/R] Knob Positions the listener in the Left/Right direction. You can change this value by double clicking in the Room ER window, then typing a number from the keyboard, or by dragging vertically with the mouse. Front/Rear Position Display/[LIS F/R] Knob Positions the listener in the Front/Rear direction.

7 WALL CHARACTER Sets characteristics for sound that is reflected from the walls. Simulates the material of the walls. Graph Graphs the volume of the reflected sound and attenuation of its high frequency component. If you move the cursor in the graph, a bending point (■) is displayed. You can edit the graph by dragging this point with the mouse. DELAY [ON] Button/[DELAY] Knob Sets whether or not to include a delay time for the distance from the sound source to the listener.
PAGE 9
DIV R Display Sets the DIV R value. You can change this value by double clicking, then typing a number from the keyboard, or by dragging vertically with the mouse. If the setting is zero, only L/R is used. If 50 is set, the ratio between L/R and the center will be 50:50. When 100 is set, the signal will go to the center channel only. [LINK] Button/[F/R LINK] Knob Links DIV R to the DIV F value. When the two are linked, the DIV R value will be the same as the DIV F.
PAGE 10
KEY 1 Left/Right Value Display The KEY 1 position in the Left/Right direction. You can change this value by double clicking, then typing a number from the keyboard, or by dragging vertically with the mouse. Front/Back Position Display The KEY 1 position in the Front/Rear direction. You can change this value by double clicking, then typing a number from the keyboard, or by dragging vertically with the mouse. [1] Button Sets the displayed Current Time as the Timecode for KEY 1.
PAGE 11
! PLAYBACK MODE Button/[PB MODE] Knob ONCE: Move to KEY 2 and finish. GO&REV: Move to KEY 2. After stopping there for the Timecode amount set for the END KEY DELTA, go back to the START KEY. After moving to the START KEY, this repeats the operation of going KEY 1 → KEY 2 and returning, just as was done at the start. LOOP: Move from KEY 2 to the START KEY, and loop from there. @ TRANSPORT BAR RTZ: Return automation object (sound source or listener) to the start position. STOP: Turn OFF Automation.
