DEUTSCH 3. THE EFFECTS MINIFEX FEX800 Your MINIFEX FEX800 comes with 16 presets, which are grouped in four different categories. All of them are stereo effects. + Table 6.1 contains a list of the preset effect parameters which can be edited as well as a description of the TAP/SELECT button’s function. 3.1 REVERB 1 The presets from the REVERB 1 category reproduce the characteristics of natural spaces of different sizes. s CATHEDRAL simulates the reverberation that you can hear in big cathedrals. This effect is characterized by a long reverb and very specific echoes. It works well with solo instruments and vocals. s CONCERT simulates the reverberation in a mid-size concert hall. The preset is well suited for all natural instruments such as piano. When used sparingly, it also gives vocals an interesting touch, for example, in ballads. s CLUB simulates the cozy atmosphere of a mid-size jazz club or theater. This reverb is characterized by its early reflections and short decay. The preset works well with vocals, electric piano, drums, saxophone and other instruments. s CHAMBER simulates the typical characteristics of a studio. The preset is well suited for drums, guitars and vocals or whenever you need an unobtrusive reverb to breathe some life into a signal. 3.2 REVERB 2 REVERB 2 comprises popular artificial reverb algorithms, which characterize numerous pop/rock and dance tracks of the last few years. s GOLD PLATE simulates the legendary sound of a reverb plate as used in former studio reverb units. This effect features a very dense sound of its own and is particularly suited to produce a very distinct reverb, e.g. for drums and vocals. s GATED REV simulates the reverb type cut off by a gate, which was very popular in the 80’s. This effect was typically used with snare or kick drums, but can be used to achieve interesting effects with other instruments too. s REVERSE produces a reverb which has its reverb tail reversed. Consequently, the reverb volume does not decrease over time but increases. This preset can be used for unusual effects with the most varied kinds of signals. A very popular application is to use it for snare drums. s AMBIENCE provides the signal with spatial information, however, does not produce an audible reverb. The preset works well with drums, keyboards, guitars and vocals or whenever you need an unobtrusive room sound without reverb. 3. THE EFFECTS 9
