Environment; Reverb Level Sliders - Philips PSC705/05 User Manual

Environment

Using this pull down menu you can select various types of reverbs that simulate various environments. To turn
on these environments the "Enable" box must be selected.
If you are playing an EAX 1.0 or 2.0 game it should automatically select the appropriate environment as you
move around the game. The environment selector can be left on "-none-".
If you are playing a non-EAX enabled game, music or movies you can select an environment of your choice
and adjust the level using slider corresponding to the source.
If you are using the Philips Seismic Edge (H/W) Synth, the "Environment" you select will also be used when
playing MIDI music and the intensity will be controlled on the reverb slider on the MIDI tab.
Some "Environments" such as "Concert Hall" are more appropriate for music while others like "Forsaken" were
designed with specific games in mind and others like "Drugged" are for gaming and general playing around.

Reverb Level Sliders

Audio Applications slider: Control the intensity of the effect for games, Sonic Foundry Siren Wavetable
synth (also has its own reverb effect controls) and other applications.
External Input slider: Control the intensity of the effect for analog input sources such as CD In and Line In.
These sliders, used in conjunction with the "Enable" box and the "Environment" pull down menu, allow you to
control the intensity and characteristics of the reverb effect applied to your sound. Reverb is an seismic effect
that simulates the interaction of sound with the environment. As an example imagine the sound of a gunshot in
a large cathedral compare to the same sound in a tiled bathroom. The entry under "Default Environment"
allows you to select a certain surrounding (environment) such as a cave, arena or hallway) while the sliders
provide for control over the intensity of the effect.
Typically very low settings should be used when using to add ambiance to music or games rather than higher
settings that may cause distortion and sound unnatural.
