XL Reverb Technology
The essence of the M-One XL, the XL
Technology, is based on TC's heritage and continual research and
development of Reverb technology. XL Reverbs feature new and improved
spatial perspectives, across the entire range of Reverb algorithms. The
extended range of the "reverb size" enables extremely wide or narrow
spatial imaging, independently of the decay time. By applying "Reverb
size" to both Early Reflections and the Diffused field, the M-One XL
achieves any combination from wide spaces with short decay times, to
narrow rooms with long decays.
Early Reflections, Diffused Fields & Modulation
The
high resolution Early reflections found in other high-end TC reverbs
and newly improved Diffused field technology specific to the M-One XL ,
ensure a natural and clear result that no other processor can offer in
this price range. The XL Technology stands out by applying
sophisticated modulation patterns, simulating the modulation of a real
room, and allowing ranges of modulation from the barely audible
real-room modulation to heavy chorusing and detuning reverbs, also
simulating the vintage style of reverbs.
Small Room, a Focus
Small
Room simulations have been a major focus in the tuning of the XL
Reverbs. The Early reflection patterns combined with the new set of
Diffused fields, allow realistic simulations of real rooms. Applied to
source material, the room simulations will bring clarity and presence
to the source. With the flexibility of the XL Technology, Reverbs can
be tweaked from virtually transparent Ambience patterns over large Hall
reverbs to low-resolution Plates or Spring reverbs.
Flexibility
Use
the M-One XL to run two of the best sounding reverbs or other quality
effects simultaneously without compromising sound. The Easy Parameter
Level gives you more flexibility to create cool effects and the control
of important parameters is right at your fingertips.
Live
The
Live algorithms are the grainy type of reverbs known as the typical
1980s live reverbs. Use these reverbs when "cutting through" any PA
system.
Quality XL Reverbs
The M-One XL gives you a
wide range of high quality reverbs from the classic Halls and Rooms to
new and grainy snare reverbs such as Live and Plate. Use the M-One XL
’s high quality reverbs to create sound reflections in various
environments. Now you can easily add different levels of depth to your
source material.
Multi-Effect ?
Bring new life to
your mixes with TC ’s unique Compressor and Limiter algorithms. You can
add incredible Delays, wide Chorus or enhance the details of your
source material with the Parametric Equalizers. The M-One XL has even
more algorithms, such as Flanger, Gate, Expander, De-esser, Tremolo and
Phaser. All the algorithms are of the well-known TC Electronic quality.
Do not waste your time programming. Experiment with any of the reverbs
inside the M-One XL to determine what setting suits your source
material best.
Hall
These "classic style" reverbs
simulate the reverberation of very large rooms with very high ceilings.
They have unobtrusive reflections with a density and naturalness you
have only been dreaming about, until now. The Hall reverbs are
especially good with vocals, acoustic guitar and piano.
Plates 1 & 2
The
most basic sounding reverbs in the M-One XL are the "non-digital",
mechanical sounding ones, which make metal plates superfluous: Create
the artificial reflections typically found on "old mechanical" reverbs!
Plates 1 & 2 are especially good on drums and vocal tracks.
Room
The
famous TC Electronic Room reverbs generates a vast array of room
settings with different sizes and surfaces. The Room reverbs make your
music come alive by adding ultimate realism and texture to your mix.
Presets
The
M-One XL comes loaded with 200 high-grade Factory presets, covering
almost any imaginable application. On top of that the M-One can store
up to 100 of your favorite presets in the User bank. When satisfied
with your preset you just hit the STORE key to save it. It is so
simple, that you almost forget that you are actually making presets! In
short, the M-One XL gives you access to all the tools you need,
whenever you want to create quality effects e.g. Modulation and Pitch
effects as well as EQ, De-esser and Dynamics!
Drum Verbs
Making
a drum kit in general or a snare drum in particular stand out using
reverbs has been standard in Pop/rock for many years. In the studio,
where listening conditions are perfect, there are a number of choices.
Achieving the same effect in a PA situation is quite a different story.
High density reverbs tend to disappear in a PA system. Using the "Live"
type reverb of the M-One XL will give you exactly the level of
graininess necessary to achieve this particular effect. The "Live"
Reverb works extremely well for short and snappy snare reverbs, as well
as big ballad 3.0 second Tom reverbs.
Big Lead Vocals
The
big and dominating Vocal is often supported by a well tuned Hall and
maybe even some delays. Combining these two effects in the perfect mix
can be a bit of a challenge. The fact that Delay repeats continue to
repeat the original dry source, even after the Reverb decayed, makes
the delay stand out as a separate effect. Using the M-One XL
"Parallel/Serial" routing allows you to use both Delay, with the
accurate tap control, and high density Reverbs with independent inputs
and simultaneously feed the Delay repeats into the Reverb, allowing a
greater integration of the two effects.
Ambient Vocal Enhancement
Getting
the lead vocal to sound both crisp and present in a live mix is not
always easy. Turning up the volume and keeping a neutral frequency
respond, will make the vocal "float" on top of the music. Using the
"Ambience" Reverb of the M-One XL helps this particular situation. The
high density Early Reflections and short decays, will add sufficient
brightness and shine to the vocal, without compromising the frequency
responds. |
