7. A reverb effect is an artificial space simulator The reverb effect used in DM 307 is based on a technique called convolution in which an impulse response of a real or not space is used to produce a faithful emulation An impulse response can be thought of as an acoustic fingerprint and are capable of producing the most realistic reverb effects or crazy sounds The reverb effect is accessed by clicking on the REV tab The available controls are e Impulse Response Menu you can use the drop down menu to select one of the 32 provided impulse responses e Pre Del Pre Delay controls the amount of delay before the reverb signal adding time between the input signal and the reverb signal e Size sets the pitch shift amount of the impulse response this changes the perceived size of the space e Mix controls the dry wet mix of the clean dry signal and the reverb wet signal 4 2 4 Distortion MASTER EFFECTS 4 Distortion Effect Controls The distortion effect emulates the sound of an overdriven analogue circuit This makes the sound heavier by adding overtones and compressing the dynamics 9 The distortion effect is accessed by clicking on the DIST tab The available controls are e Drive controls the amount the signal is overdriven i e the distortion amount e Tone controls the tone of the output Lowering the value of this control will lower the amount of high frequencies present in the output signal e
