[. . . ] Reduce the input level in case you experience overloads (O/L). Range: Off to 0dB The overall Output level of the Reverb. Use this parameter to adjust the output level to fit for following effects in your host application. NonLin2 / 7 ENGLISH Output Level Dry Level Range: Off to 0dB Adjusts the dry signal level passed through the algorithm. For a typical send/return configuration, leave dry level off. Wet Level Range: Off ­ 0dB Adjusts the wet (reverb) output level. ENVELOPE The envelope determines the shape of the reverb. Due to the envelope control, you can create the typical "gate reverb" effect without the use of any noise gate or similar. The triggering is done automatically for you, just by feeding the plug-in with audio. Pre Delay Range: 0 ­ 500ms Pre Delay offsets the Output and timing of the Envelope Generator. It is typically used to obtain depth and definition in a mix, or align the effect with a musical beat. Delays in the 10-40 ms range can be considered for percussive sounds, while dense vocal slap effects could use 70-150 ms of Pre Delay. Attack Range: 0 ­ 500ms Sets the Attack time (= build up) of the Reverb Envelope. The build up time is the time the reverb tail needs to get to the maximum level. range for this parameter depends on the Hold and Release settings: The total time for Attack, Hold and Release can not be higher than 500ms. Hold Range: 0 ­ 500ms Sets the Hold time (= fully open time) of the Reverb Envelope. The "fully open" time is the time the reverb tail maintains its maximum level. For a typical eighties style response, Hold should be set at 60-120 ms. range for this parameter depends on the Attack and Release settings. ENGLISH 8 / NonLin2 Release Range: 0 ­ 500ms Sets the Hold time (= Decay) of the Reverb Envelope. This is the time the reverb tail needs to disappear and is causeing the "gated" effect. For a typical eighties style response, Release should be set at 0-100 ms. The most gated and unnatural effect is obtained at short Release settings. range for this parameter depends on the Attack and Hold settings. Envelope Display ENVELOPE DISPLAY The Envelope display is a graphical representation of the 4 envelope parameters and the wet level. The 4 dotted lines represent the 4 envelope parameters and their position in time. Take a vertical line at the handle and move it to the left to decrease the time for that parameter or to the right to increase the parameter. Moving the horizontal line of the envelope curve up and down changes the wet level of the reverb from 0dB (fully up) to off (fully down). Note: The total time for Attack, Hold and Release can not exceed 500ms! NonLin2 / 9 ENGLISH MODIFY PAGE REVERB STYLE Style Selects the basic Reverb Style subjected to the Envelope and Twist modifications. The Style parameter should be seen as an algorithm selection inside the algorith. Different Styles have different features with regards to density, diffusion type, spectral response, stereo image etc. Choose one that suits your program material. Note: Differences are more pronounced with low Diffuse settings and Twist Ratios. Diffuse Range: 0 ­ 100% Sets the amount of diffusion applied to the Reverb Style selected. ENGLISH Note: For high Diffuse ratios, the Attack and Decay times of the reverb Envelope may be slightly affected. 10 / NonLin2 TWIST TYPE Type Selects which type of funky effect treatment to be used on the reverb. [. . . ] The setting of the other (hidden) memory location will not be saved! The "Mem" button will reset the A/B memory locations to the current setting. NonLin2 / 15 ENGLISH LOCKING PARAMETER VALUES ­ USING THE PARAMETER LOCK The parameter lock function allows you to lock the parameters In Level, Out Level, Dry Level, Wet Level and the assignment of the Focus fields from changing when you change preset. By using the parameter lock, you can easily browse through the extensive set of presets that comes with the NonLin2, without having to change the with each preset change. To lock a parameter, simply click on the small lock in the parameter field. The parameter lock only affects parameter changes made with the mouse. [. . . ]
