28. ex This method extracts maximum efficiency from the limited DSP power It achieves an overwhelmingly high density Early Reflection sound and wonderfully smooth High wwe Dump response through the H F A Harmonic Feedback Algorithm Also it carries out an elaborate reverb simulation with clear sounds through the H D L P Hi Density Logarithmic Processing which eliminates the mutual interference between the numerous integrated delay modules and reduce the impurity and grit of the sound H F A Harmonic Feedback Algorithm There is one of indispensable elements in the natural echo called Early Reflection sound which is usually sacrificed in commercial reverb products in order to reduce costs In practice the Early Reflection sound means the very first reverberated sound that bounces back from walls floors and ceilings of concert halls The entire reverb sound quality depends on this Early Reflection sound and how closely it can resemble the real echo The H F A is an algorithm that enables the effect unit to reproduce a clear and natural Early Reflection sound by applying an ideal harmonic feedback to each delay module H D L P Hi Density Logarithmic Processing The reverb sounds consist of lots of small delay elements combined in a complex way which are produced by many delay modules inside the effect unit In order to obtain smooth and comfortable reverb sounds it is very important to efficiently organize
