5 - TC Works Reverb-High-cut filter High-cut filter This filter can be used to cut off the upper frequencies of the reverb signal. Use PODs 3 and 4 on row 2 of the screen. HICUT Sets the frequency at which the filter oper- ates. Use POD 3 to select a value. The lower limit is 20 Hz, and the higher limit is 16 kHz. Space editor These four parameters allow you to set the basic reverb type (row 3, labeled SPACE EDITOR). SHAPE allows you to set the basic shape of the sim- ulated room in which the sound is being reflected to produce the reverberation effect. Turn POD 1 to select from the following list (a small representation of the room shape appears on the left of the screen as you make these changes): • HALL-a hall-shaped room (basically a cube) • H.SHOE-(horseshoe) a room where one wall is flat, and the other walls curve round. • PRISM-a prism-shaped space with two parallel walls focusing down to a wedge (similar to many auditoria). • FAN-even more wedge-shaped than the prism setting. Decay characteristics The decay can be set for three bands independently, allowing, for example, the treble portion of the sound can continue to reverberate after the bass and mid sounds have decayed, giving a bright quality to the reverb. The crossover points for the three bands can be set independently. Use the four pods in row 4 and the two pods in row 5 (labeled DECAY) to set the band times, as well as a "scale" which allows fine-tuning of the times without having to turn the PODs an excessive number of times. ATT Short for "attenuation"-the amount by which the high-cut filter cuts the upper frequencies. Use POD 4 to set this value from -40.0 dB to 0 dB in 0.1 dB steps. • CLUB-a T-shaped space, with a recessed stage area. • SMALL-a smaller, more intimate version of the cube. SIZE The size of the space. Units are arbitrary, and may be set from 0.04 to 4.0 in the following steps: 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.13, 0.16, 0.20, 0.25, 0.32, 0.40, 0.50, 0.63, 0.80, 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.2, 4.0. W-DIFF Wall diffusion-the "liveness" of the room space, and the amount that the sound is scattered. Set a value from -50% to +50% I 1% steps. WIDTH Not, strictly speaking, the width of the sim- ulated room, but the stereo width of the reverb signal (which is affected by the width of the room). Set from 0% (mono point source) to 100% (full width) in 1% steps. LOW, MID, HIGH Each of the three bands can be set independently, in a range from 0.25 s to 9.99 s and from 10.0 s to 64 s (1024 steps in total). RANGE The overall range for these three bands (and therefore the number of times the PODs must be turned to set a value) an be set to one of three values: 4 s, 16 s and 64 s. X-over The two crossover frequencies to divide the sound spectrum into three bands can be set. Each of these frequencies can be set between values of 20 Hz and 16 kHz. Use PODs 1 and 3 on row 5 to set these values. TASCAM DM-24 Effects 21
