[. . . ] NuVerb TDM TM U se r G ui d e Unpacking and Inspection After unpacking the NuVerb TDM module, save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the module and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer. Notice This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designated to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. [. . . ] Adding heavy compression allows this program to produce very wild delay effects. Effect A has two taps (Delays 3 and 4 ), set with delay ratios of 1:2, meaning that, when one is 200ms, the other is 400ms, or when one is 359, the other is 718ms. The compressor in Effect B has a deep Slope of 3:1 and a high CompGain of 16 dB, allowing the differences in your program's dynamics to be pulled much closer together. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET Delay 1: 0. 0m Delay 2: 0. 0m Threshold: -22 dB 16 COMP > DLY CASCADE This program has huge compression, feeding the compressed signal into a standard delay. With a high Slope of 4. 25:1, this compressor presses almost all dynamics out. Effect B is a standard delay effect, defaulted to have a small Delay Time and small Feedback levels. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET CompGain: 11 dB Multiple (Delay 1 & Delay 2): 4 Multiple (Feedback 1 & Feedback 2): 40 17 SPATIAL VERB CASCADE Provides a large, warm sounding atmosphere. Effect A contains a recital hall This medium large (44. 5M) space opens sound sources beautifully. Effect B contains a stereo adjust effect which equalizes a high amount of bass content, adding a warm tone to the signal. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET RTIME: 2. 5S Spatial: +4. 0 Rotate: <0> 28 28 NuVerb TDM User Guide Program Descriptions 18 FILTERED ECHOES CASCADE This delay program matched with stereo adjust filters out a bit of high end, making a warm tone. Effect A is a delay effect set with a multiple of Delay 1 and Delay 2 in the Plug-In to increase delay tap time. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET Multiple (Delay 1 & Delay 2): 20 Multiple (Bass L & Bass R): 65 Multiple (Treb L & Treb R): 18 19 RVB > PONS CASCADE Effect A is a split chamber reverb with a high Reverb Time of 36. 7 seconds. Effect B has PONS (Psycoacoustically Optimized Noise Shaping) turned on and dither is set to a level of 21. Experiments have shown this to be an optimum starting level of dither. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET RTIME: 36. 7s TDCY: 1. 6k Dither: 21 20 ST. A gentle 2:1 Slope in compression as well as a zeroed stereo adjust lend many possibilities for an overall mix. Effect A is a cut down version of the larger Stereo Adjust program with separate Left and Right Bass and Treble on the Plug-In. You may need to adjust the Threshold parameter in the Compressor in Effect B to make it work for the particular signal you're feeding it. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: WET Multiple (Bass L & Bass R): 65 Multiple (Treb L & Treb R): 65 Threshold: -12 dB 29 29 Program Descriptions Lexicon 21 RECITAL ROOM CASCADE This program features two split chamber reverbs that provide a bright tone with a short Reverb Time. The size is set to 28. 1M (the largest value is 66. 4M) so the density is rather tight. Effect B is a nice "bloomy" sounding reverb with Diffusion set at 79. Faders: A Mix: WET B Mix: 50% RTIME: 0. 4s TDCY: 1. 6K RTIME: 2. 5s 22 COMP > PONS CASCADE This program has a compressor with a 2:1 Slope feeding into Lexicon's own PONS. [. . . ] If you are using a digital source where Mid is left, you must correct the assignments. As the FLIP'n'SWAP control precedes the matrix decoding, if you have a digital source where Mid is left and Side is right, you can swap the channels before decoding. Otherwise, you must physically swap the left and right input data BNC s on the digital interface. A-1 1 Appendix Lexicon The BALANCE control precedes ROTATION so that BALANCE can vary the ratio of Mid to Side and, thus, the width of the output stereo image. If the tape has been recorded such that the Side signal has equal sensitivity from the side as the Mid has from the front, an equal BALANCE setting will yield a microphone array of optimum stereo separation.
