• Page 66: Reverb

  Ui12, Ui16 User Manual 7.1: REVERB FX EDIT > REVERB Reverberation (or “reverb” for short) is the complex effect created by the way we perceive sound in an enclosed space. Reverb is dependent on many features of that space, including the size, shape and the type of materials that line the walls.

• Page 67: Delay

  Ui12, Ui16 User Manual 7.2: DELAY FX EDIT > DELAY Delays repeat a sound a short time after it first occurs. Delay becomes echo when the output is fed back into the input (feedback). This turns a single repeat into a series of repeats, each a little softer than the last. The Ui delay time is set in Milliseconds or in musical values. Press the DIV display to access a drop down box with the available musical note values.
