User manual ROCKTRON MULTVALV

[. . . ] USER'S MANUAL May be covered by one or more of the following: U. S. Patents #4538297, 4647876, 4696044, 4745309, 4881047, 4893099, 5124657, 5263091, 5268527, 5319713, 5333201, 5402498, 5493617 and 5638452. Foreign patents pending. Your MultiValveTM has been tested and complies with the following Standards and Directives as set forth by the European Union: Council Directive(s): Standard(s): 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility EN55013, EN50082-1 This means that this product has been designed to meet stringent guidelines on how much RF energy it can emit, and that it should be immune from other sources of interference when properly used. Improper use of this equipment could result in increased RF emissions, which may or may not interfere with other electronic products. [. . . ] The REVERB HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter is used to control the decay rate of high frequency information in the reverb signal. Higher parameter settings will result in a faster decay of high frequency information. The R>SPILLOVER parameter determines whether reverbs generated in the current preset will continue decaying when the next preset is recalled. When switched off, reverbs will be abrubtly cut off when the next preset is recalled. R-MIX EFF/DLY REVERB LVL REV DECAY REV HF DAMP R>SPILLOVER 23 Functions and Parameter Descriptions TREMOLO Function The Tremolo effect continuously varies the volume of the signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Tremolo parameters: TREMOLO I/O The TREMOLO I/O parameter determines whether the tremolo circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset. The LOCATION parameter determines whether the Tremolo is located Pre-Reverb or Post-Reverb. Most vintage amplifiers used the tremolo in a Post-Reverb configuration. The TREMOLO DEPTH parameter determines the amount of modulation for the Tremolo signal. Lower DEPTH settings produce more subtle tremolo effects, while higher settings will result in a more extreme tremolo effect. The TREMOLO RATE parameter determines the speed at which the tremolo signal modulates (or increases and decreases in volume). The SHAPE parameter determines the waveshape of the tremolo signal. Selecting a different waveshape produces a different tremolo effect. The TIME parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the MultiValve is used. (See Section 7: "Tap Delay" for more information on the Tap Delay feature. ) LOCATION TREM DPTH TREM RATE SHAPE TIME 24 Functions and Parameter Descriptions PHASER Function Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting the phase of different frequencies of one signal before mixing it back with the original signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Phaser parameters: PHASER I/O The PHASER I/O parameter determines whether the phase shift circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset. The PHASER PAN parameter allows you to pan the phase shifted signal to the left or right channel by any amount. The PHASER DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of the phase shift effect. Higher parameter settings result in the sweep of the filtering effect occurring over a wider frequency range. The RATE parameter determines the speed at which the phase shifted signal is modulated. The PHASER RESONANCE parameter adds feedback to the Phaser so that it has a more pronounced effect. The PHASER STAGES parameter determines how many stages of phase shift are to be active. A parameter setting of "4" produces a result similar to a vintage Phase 90, while a setting of "6" emulates other common phaser pedals. The TIME parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the MultiValve is used. (See Section 7: "Tap Delay" for more information on the Tap Delay feature. ) The PHASER LEVEL parameter allows you to control the level of the phaser signal at the output of the MultiValve relative to the direct signal and other effect signals. PSR PAN PSR DEPTH RATE P>RESONANCE PSR STAGES TIME PHASER LVL 25 Functions and Parameter Descriptions FLANGER Function Flanging splits the input signal into two individual delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating the delayed signals so that, when summed back with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these FLANGER parameters: FLANGER I/O The FLANGER I/O parameter determines whether the flange circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset. [. . . ] The MultiValve will display "INITIALIZING" as the MultiValve memory is restored. INITIALIZING After the All Restore process is completed, the display should read "ERRORS 0". This is the number of bytes that the MultiValve found that did not initialize properly. Any number of errors other than "0" means that the MultiValve may not have initialized properly and the process should be repeated. ERRORS 0 The MultiValve will remain in this condition until the FUNCTION SELECT control is turned to exit the Factory Restore function. The preset currently recalled will be the preset most recently restored into the current location. Restoring the MultiValve controller assignments: The controller assignments for the MultiValve can also be reinitialized without affecting presets and other stored information. [. . . ]
