Alesis MidiVerb 4 Info

Back on the MidiVerb posts again. I am trying to wrap my head around the preset creation and want to make a nice HUGE modulated verb. Here are my notes.

Concert Hall

• Decay – Decay – determines how long the Reverb will sound before it dies away.
• LPF – Lowpass Filter – The lower the setting, the less high frequencies of the input are allowed to pass thru to the reverb effect.
• PDly – Pre-delay slightly delays the reverb so that the dry signal more easily stands out from the reverb.
• PMix – Pre-Delay Mix – balance the amount of Pre-delay to Direct Signal. Makes for a bigger, smoother sounding Reverb.
• Dens – Density – Density controls how the first reflection of the reverb effect will appear.
• Diff – Determines the “thickness” of the reverb sound by adding more reflections to the reverb’s decay.
• LDamp – Low Frequency Damping – Allows you to control the equalization of the reverb’s decay. You can cut low frequencies.
• HDamp – High Frequency Damping – Low Frequency Damping – Allows you to control the equalization of the reverb’s decay. You can cut High frequencies.
• Gate – Gating – Cutting off the reverb’s decay for a more “choppy” sound.
• Hold – Hold for Gate – Hold Time determines how long the gate will be held open before it begins to turn off.
• Rel – Release for Gate – The rate at which the gate closes is determined by the Release Time, which can be set from 0 to 500 ms.
• Swirl – Swirl – useful for smoothing the decay of the reverb when set at a low value. When set to a high value, it creates a more dramatic detuning effect as the reverb decays.
• Mix – Mix – Wet and Dry signal mix
