30 3-1. SELECTING AND EDITING PR OGRAM P ARAMETERS WHA T IS A SOUND FIELD? In order to e xplain the impressiv e functions of the DSP system, we need to first understand what a sound field really is . What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the w alls of the room. In addition to making the soun[...]

Each sound field progr am has a set of parameters that allo w y ou to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to create precisely the eff ect y ou w ant. These par ameters correspond to the many natur al acoustic f actors that create the sound field y ou e xperience in an actual concer t hall or other listening environment. The size [...]

32 3-2. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGIT AL SOUND FIELD P ARAMETERS Not all of the f ollo wing par ameters are f ound in e v ery program. ● INIT DL Y (Initial Delay) How it Aff ects the Sound: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. Since the distance between a sound source and a reflectiv e surf ace determines the delay betw een the direct[...]

33 ● REV . TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Aff ects the Sound: The natural re v erberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the char acteristics of its inner surf aces . This parameter , theref ore , changes the apparent siz e of the acoustic en vironment ov er an e xtremely wide r ange . What it Does: Adjusts the amount of time [...]
