TS-12 Musician’s Manual Section 7 — Effect Parameters
21
(creating a decay). The signal is then routed to the output, and then goes through a low pass
filter. There is a parameter that controls the Decay Time of both the left and right signals (shown
as triangles above). This signal is then routed back into the definition. There is also an external
dry signal (not shown) that goes directly from the input to the Main Output (DRY). The FX-1 and
FX-2 MIX parameters can be routed into the effect for different Dry/Wet mixes.
DECAY TIME Small Plate Range: 0.20 to 100.0 sec
Large Plate 1 Range: 0.40 to 140.0 sec
Controls the amount of time it takes for the reverberation to decay. High values of decay time
sound good on these algorithms.
PRE-DLY TIME Range: 0000 to 0500 msec
Controls the amount of time it takes for the input signal to be presented to the plate reverb. A
value of 0000 would offer no delay.
HF - DAMPING Range: 00 to 99
Increasing the value of this parameter will gradually filter out increasing amounts of high-
frequency energy. Higher values yield an abrupt decay. This parameter controls the cut off of a
low pass filter in series with the decay within the definition.
BANDWIDTH Range: 01 to 99
Acts as a low-pass filter on the output of the plate reverbs, controlling the amount of high
frequencies present. The higher the setting, the more high frequencies are allowed to pass
through, offering a brighter ringing sound. Some interesting effects can be created by using a
mod controller over a large range.
L/R BALANCE Range: -99 to +99
Controls the left/right stereo balance of the plate reverb signal. A setting of -99 would offer hard
left, whereas a setting of +99 offers hard right. A setting of +00 would place the reverb in the
center of the stereo spectrum.
DEFINITION Range: 00 to 99
Controls the rate at which echo density increases with time. Higher values can cause the echo
density to build at a rate that exceeds the decay rate. For the best results, try to select the highest
value that works with your sound source.
DIFFUSION- 1 Range: 00 to 99
Smears the input signal to create a smoother sound. Lower values cause impulse sounds to
appear as a series of discrete echoes, while higher values tend to increase the smear, making the
echoes less apparent.
DIFFUSION- 2 Range: 00 to 99
This diffuser, similar to and in series with the previous one, offers control over lower-frequency
ranges. Plate reverbs tend to sound metallic, and the diffusers help to smear the signal,
eliminating the metallic sound.
EARLY REFLECTION LEVELS (1 to 4) Ranges: -99 to +99
Control four early reflection levels. Setting these levels to lower values will produce a wetter
sound. These four reflection levels are close to the input of the DEFINITION.
