M-Audio WizooVerb W5 [34/158] Output section

5 Global Parameters

Input

The Input knob lets you cut the level of the incoming signal. The signal re-

mains unprocessed when the knob is turned all the way up.

Usually you will work with peak input level. If WizooVerb W5’s input is

overloaded, this is generally attributable to one of the following causes:

❖ WizooVerb is employed as a send effect and several send signals com-

bine to create a very powerful input signal.

❖ The energy level of WizooVerb’s input signal and the generated reverb

is so high that the signal’s dry/wet mix is overloading the output.

In this event, back off the input level until the signal is no longer satu-

rated.

Width

Width controls the spread of the ﬁve input signals L, C, R, Ls and Rs before

they are patched into the reverb. You have two modes to choose from:

❖ Negative values: The ﬁve input signals are blended and routed propor-

tionally to each channel. At the far left position, all ﬁve channels receive

the same signal. The further you twist the Width knob to the left, the

more difﬁcult it becomes to locate the sound source in the reverb sig-

nal.

❖ Positive values: The input signal of every channel is sent to its immedi-

ate neighboring channels until it is only audible there, whereby the

original signal is spread. The further you twist the Width knob to the

right, the bigger the sound source appears to be in the reverb signal.

Output Section

In the Output section, you can control the Dry/Wet balance and the reverb’s

Surround spread. The VU meter located above indicates the output signal

level.
