What are Add-On Effects? Add-On Effects are software packages that install additional high-quality effects programs on digital consoles. Studio Manager REV-X Window What is REV-X? REV-X is an Add-On Effects package that consists of a reverb algorithm developed by Yamaha. It provides a high-density, richly reverberant sound quality, with smooth attenuation, spread and depth that work together to enhance the original sound. You can choose one of three programs to suit the acoustic sound field and your intentions: REV-X Hall, REV-X Room, and REV-X Plate.

Using REV-X As with other effects, you can recall and edit the REV-X programs on the console or Studio Manager. The basic operation is as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Select one of the internal effects processors. Patch the signal to and from the currently selected effects processor. Locate the Effects Library page. Select REV-X Hall, REV-X Room or REV-X Plate. Recall the selected effect. Locate the Effects Edit page. Set the parameters. (See the “Part Names and Functions” section for more information on REV-X parameters.) The procedure for recalling and editing REV-X varies depending on the console you are using. Refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your console for more information. Editing Parameters in Studio Manager In Studio Manager, editable parameters appear in both the REV-X window and the Generic Editor window. Basically, the REV-X window enables you to edit REV-X specific parameters, and the Generic Editor window enables you to edit parameters common to the REV-X and other Effects. Refer to the Studio Manager Owner’s Manual for your console for more information regarding the Generic Editor window.

Higher values extend the reverberation. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0.3s through 30.0s. However, the range varies depending on the Room Size setting. 4 [Initial Delay]/[INI.DLY] Studio Manager Console Duration of time between sound input and the start of reverberation. Higher values delay the start of reverberation. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0.0ms through 125.0ms. 5 [Decay]/[DECAY] Studio Manager Console Shape of reverberation envelope. Reverberation characteristics are determined by the value. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0 through 53. 4  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) ! @ 3 4 ) ! 7 6 5 @ 8 9 6 [Room Size]/[ROOMSIZE] Studio Manager Console Size of space. Higher values simulate larger spaces. This value is linked with the Reverb Time value. When you change this value, the Reverb Time value changes. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0 through 28. 7 [Diffusion]/[DIFF.] Studio Manager Console Density and spread of reverberation. Higher values increase the density and enhance the spread. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0 through 10. 8 [HPF] Studio Manager Console This filter cuts the low frequency range of the reverberation. The range below the frequency specified by this value is cut. This filter does not affect the original source sound. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is Thru to 8.00kHz. 9 [LPF] Studio Manager Console This filter cuts the high frequency range of the reverberation. The range above the frequency specified by this value is cut. This filter does not affect the original source sound. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is 1.00kHz to Thru. ) [Hi Ratio]/[HI.RATIO] Studio Manager Console Length of reverberation in the high frequency range. The reverberation duration of the high frequency range is expressed as a ratio relative to Reverb Time. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0.1 through 1.0. ! [Lo Ratio]/[LO.RATIO] Studio Manager Console Length of reverberation in the low frequency range. The reverberation duration of the low frequency range is expressed as a ratio relative to Reverb Time. In Studio Manager, drag the icon to change the value. n The range is from 0.1 through 1.4. 5  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) ! @ 3 4 ) ! 7 6 5 @ 8 9 @ [Low Freq]/[LO.FREQ.] Studio Manager Console Frequency value that serves as the basis for the Lo Ratio value.

These images change shape depending on the parameter values. The vertical axis represents the level; the horizontal axis represents reverb time; the shape represents the envelope. % Reverb time curve Studio Manager This curve represents the high-range (10kHz), mid-range (1kHz), and low-range (100Hz) reverb time. The curve changes depending on the Reverb Time, Hi Ratio, and Lo Ratio parameter values. 6  ^ & ^ [Auto Zoom] button Click the *( Studio Manager button to automatically adjust the time axis (horizontal axis). & Time Axis Set button Studio Manager Use this button to specify the time duration (in seconds) as displayed by the time axis (horizontal axis). * [ ] (Zoom Out) button Studio Manager Click this button to increase the time value (in seconds) as displayed by the time axis (horizontal axis). As a result, the display zooms out on the horizontal axis. ( [ ] (Zoom In) button Studio Manager Click this button to decrease the time value (in seconds) as displayed by the time axis (horizontal axis). As a result, the display zooms in on the horizontal axis. 6 º º º [OUTPUT] meter/Level meter Studio Manager Console Studio Manager displays the Effects output level. On the console, you can select the input level or output level to be displayed using the METER: [IN][OUT] switch. ¡ *( ¡ [MIX] slider/[MIX BALANCE] control Studio Manager ¡ Console These controls enable you to adjust the mix balance of the dry and wet (effect) sounds. When the balance is 0%, only the dry sound is output. When the balance is 100%, only the wet sound is output. n The range is from 0 through 100%. 7  U.R.G., Pro Audio & Digital Musical Instrument Division, Yamaha Corporation © 2003 Yamaha Corporation 312IP-01A0 8
