The EQ section
The equalizer in RV7000 affects the wet reverb sound only and is used for shaping
the character of the reverb. There are two EQ bands, one for low frequencies (shelv-
ing) and one full-range parametric EQ.
D To activate the EQ, click the EQ Enable button on the main panel so that
the indicator lights up.
D To make EQ settings, select “EQ” with the Edit Mode button to the left in
the remote programmer panel.
D In this mode, the remote programmer display shows a frequency curve,
indicating the settings you make with the EQ parameters.
The parameters are:
D Remember that you have a third EQ band at your disposal - the HI EQ pa-
rameter on the main panel.
The reason why this is on the main panel and not in the EQ section is simply that
it’s a setting you may want to adjust often, without having to open the remote pro-
grammer panel.
The Gate section
The Gate section allows you to create gated reverb effects with a lot of options and
possibilities. You can either trigger the gate from the source audio signal or via MIDI
or CV.
When triggering the gate from the source audio signal, it works like this:
• The gate “listens” to the source (dry) signal and opens whenever the signal
reaches a certain threshold level.
• The reverb sound is sent through the gate - when the gate is closed you won’t
hear the reverb.
• When the source signal level drops below the threshold level, the gate closes after
a time that depends on the Hold parameter and the level of the source signal (see
the parameter table).
D If you need the gate to be open for an exact duration (time), you should
trigger it via MIDI or CV.
In audio trigger mode, the actual gate time will vary depending on the source sig-
nal.
When triggering the gate via MIDI or CV, it works like this:
• The reverb sound is sent through the gate - when the gate is closed you won’t
hear the reverb.
• Whenever the gate receives any MIDI note (sent to the RV7000) or a gate signal
(connected to the Gate Trig CV input on the back of the RV7000), the gate opens
for the duration of the note or gate signal.
Note:
D To activate the Gate, click the Gate Enable button on the main panel so
that the indicator lights up.
D To make Gate settings, select “Gate” with the Edit Mode button to the
left in the remote programmer panel.
D In this mode, the remote programmer display shows two meters - one
showing the signal level (with an indication of the threshold level) and
one showing the status of the gate.
This is useful for checking what happens, how the gate triggers, etc.

Parameter
|
Description
Low Gain The amount of cut or boost of the low-shelving filter.
Low Freq The frequency below which the Low Gain cut or boost is applied.
Param Gain The amount of cut or boost for the parametric EQ.
Param Freq The center frequency of the parametric EQ, e.g. at which frequency
the level should be decreased or increased.
Param Q This governs the width of the affected area around the set center
frequency. The higher the value, the narrower the affected fre-
quency range.
