Controls Front Panel 1 2 3 4 56 789 1 INPUT LEVEL control and meter The INPUT LEVEL control sets the input level for both the right and left input channels. It is accompanied by a stereo LED meter that shows the levels of the signals received by the REV500 after A/D conversion. Lighting of the red CLIP LEDs thus indicates clipping of the digital signal. You should adjust the control so that the CLIP LEDs do not light. 2 PROGRAM keys These keys let you choose the program that the REV500 will use to process the input sound. The TYPE key selects the type of effect program to be used: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, or SPECIAL. The current program type selection is displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD. The PRESET/USER key selects between the PRESET and USER program memory areas. The currently selected memory area is displayed under the program number in the LCD. It is possible to change the parameters of a preset program, but the edited program must be stored as a user program. The NUMBER keys are used to select different programs within the chosen program type and memory area. The number and title of the currently selected program are displayed in the top row of the LCD. 3 LCD This LCD normally displays information about the currently selected program. It also displays graphic information about basic parameters being edited, as well as a variety of other messages related to the REV500's utility functions. 4 PARAMETER EDIT controls These controls let you edit the basic parameters of the selected program. The PRE DELAY control sets the amount of time that will elapse before the onset of early reflections. It also functions as a cursor control, which you can turn to select the parameter or character to be modified when using the REV500's utility functions. The REV TIME control sets the amount of time needed for the reverberation to decay. It also functions as a data entry control, which you can turn to change the values of selected items when using the REV500's utility functions. The HI-RATIO control sets the reverb time for the highfrequency components of the reverb, as a proportion of the overall reverb time set using the REV TIME control. The ER LEVEL control sets the level of the early reflection component of the reverb. It is also used, in combination with the EFF LEVEL key, to adjust the overall effect output level. 5 EFF LEVEL key and LED This key lets you use the ER LEVEL control to set the overall effect output level. When the LED above this key is lit, the ER LEVEL control will adjust the effect level instead of the early reflection level. 6 STORE key This key is used to store modified programs, and to execute MIDI bulk dumps. 1

will use to process the input sound.
The TYPE key selects the type of effect program to be
used: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, or SPECIAL. The current
program type selection is displayed in the upper left

The PRESET/USER key selects between the PRESET
and USER program memory areas. The currently
selected memory area is displayed under the program
number in the LCD. It is possible to change the
parameters of a preset program, but the edited program
must be stored as a user program.
The NUMBER keys are used to select different programs

PARAMETER EDIT controls
These controls let you edit the basic parameters of the
selected program.
The PRE DELAY control sets the amount of time that
will elapse before the onset of early reflections. It also
functions as a
cursor
control, which you can turn to
select the parameter or character to be modified when
using the REV500’s utility functions.
The REV TIME control sets the amount of time needed
for the reverberation to decay. It also functions as a
data
entry
control, which you can turn to change the values of
selected items when using the REV500’s utility
functions.
The HI-RATIO control sets the reverb time for the high-
frequency components of the reverb, as a proportion of
the overall reverb time set using the REV TIME control.
The ER LEVEL control sets the level of the early
reflection component of the reverb. It is also used, in
combination with the EFF LEVEL key, to adjust the
overall effect output level.

EFF LEVEL key and LED
This key lets you use the ER LEVEL control to set the
overall effect output level. When the LED above this key
is lit, the ER LEVEL control will adjust the effect level
instead of the early reflection level.

STORE key
This key is used to store modified programs, and to
execute MIDI bulk dumps.
