User manual DIGITECH STUDIO VOCALIST

[. . . ] GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. SERVICING: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. [. . . ] ABOUT THE CHARTS All the effects and Parameters found in the Studio Quad V2 are described in detail in the following group of charts. Each chart is preceded by brief descriptions of the effects functions and description. Module names appear in the top left corner of the chart with a vertical column of check boxes extending directly below. These two Effect Types have no parameters and simply function as their names imply. The Mute type keeps all signals from passing through an Effect module while the Thru type allows only the dry signals to pass through a module. Section 3 - Effects and Parameters Studio Quad V2 User's Manual REVERBS Reverberation is probably the most widely used effect because it allows you to simulate the sound reflection characteristics of almost any kind of room. In a real room, reverb is a result of sound reflecting off room surfaces such as the walls, floor, ceiling, and objects in the room. The materials, size, and shape of the room determine how long these reflections echo and decay before dying out completely. These factors also help determine the audio characteristics of the room, such as how long the high-frequency reverberations ring when compared to the low frequencies, or how much initial "slapback" the room wall produces when a sound hits. Today's technology allows the Studio Quad V2 to offer a complete palette of flexibile, easy to use reverbs. 1) Reverb - Simple, straight ahead reverb with only the most basic parameters. 15 2) Dual Reverb - Multi-dimensional reverb with flexible frequency band-splitting capabilities. The reverb can be divided into primary and secondary stages using selectable High or Low Pass crossovers. High settings of DAMP cause the reverberations to darken tonally and become less defined over the course of DECAY. Low settings cause less dramatic room effects on the tone of the reverberations. This control can be used to darken the response of bright-sounding gated reverbs. Ranges from 100 Hz to 8 kHz in the Gated Reverb and from 100 Hz to 20 kHz in the Stereo Gated Reverb. Controls the length of the gated reverb in milliseconds (much like the DECAY control of a normal reverb). Ranges from 25 milliseconds to 300 milliseconds (or 500 milliseconds on the Stereo Gated Reverb).

This can be used to increase the realism of the simulated room by adding reverberations from different parts of the room to each channel. These two parameters adjust the amount of BLEND for the Primary and Secondary reverb stages. This one control could have been divided among Size and Reflection controls but has been simplified here for easier use. For more natural sounding reverbs, you may also want to decrease the DENSITY setting as DECAY is shortened.
