[. . . ] This is often described in terms of "brightness" or "darkness". HALL A simulation of a large concert hall. 26 Ineko Reference Manual chapter 3 · using the ineko VOCAL HALL A smaller, brighter concert hall designed for vocals. VOC PLATE Emulation of a classic plate reverb, transparent and smooth, also good for vocals. GATED This reverb's signal abruptly cuts in and which abruptly cuts off, good for rock drums. REVERSE This reverb has a reversed decay envelope ­ fading in, then cutting off abruptly. Length of time until the effect cuts off. RATE This adjusts the fade-in slope, or "attack" of the effect. Turn the control clockwise for a more gradual fade-in. Ineko Reference Manual 27 using the ineko · chapter 3 Delay Effects (2nd Column) The second column of effects programs in the Ineko are delay programs. A portion of the delayed signal is fed back into the input to produce additional echoes of the original signal. Most of the programs in this column share the following three parameters: MIX Mix controls the balance between the original, direct sound and the effected sound. When this control is turned fully counter-clockwise, you should hear no effect from the Ineko. DELAY This control specifies the amount of time that the input sound is delayed. FDBK Feedback adjusts the amount of the delayed signal which is fed back into the input. This effectively controls how many times you will hear the input signal repeat. When Feedback is set fully counter-clockwise, you will only hear one repeat of the input signal. When it is fully clockwise, the high feedback level can cause self-oscillation. RUNAWAY A mono delay where the Mix control has been placed in front of the delay loop. Careful manipulation of the Mix knob will let you create complex looping phrases. LPF DELAY A delay program which passes the delayed signal through a low-pass filter. 28 Ineko Reference Manual chapter 3 · using the ineko HPF DELAY A delay program with a high-pass filter in the delay feedback loop. BPF DELAY A delay program with a band-pass filter in the delay feedback loop. PHASE DELAY A delay program with a phasor effect in the delay feedback loop. DYN REVERB A reverb program whose decay is made shorter or longer, depending on the level of the input signal. MIX Balance between direct/reverb signal SENS This controls the sensitivity of the effect ­ how closely it follows the input level.
