All user reviews of 4/5 for the Alesis MidiVerb 4

Everything has already been said, this is a reverb with lots of other effects. Choruses, and delays flangeurs. There's even a octaver!

UTILIZATION

It is very easy to use! This is very convenient is its large screen which allows to see all available settings. By against something that is not terrible I think these are the names of presets not always easy to understand, such as A1-Anda-or-Buttah it is not very clear!

SOUND QUALITY

I like the chorus and reverbs including short flat are very nice! on the other hand I prefer my long reverbs lxp 5 which I think are more beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought mine used in perfect condition there about 3 years and I am more than happy! Except for the backlight no longer works. Apparently this is a common problem MIDIVERB. Good that prevent them from working with because we can still see what we do, but hey it's a little messy. In addition we are forced to work in full sunlight.
I would do this choice without hesitation, she helped me out and also do lots of interesting things with my bass and my keyboards!

This is a multi-effect "studio" so you can find everything but especially reverbs, of course. With a soft MidiQuest as it is fully customizable by computer even if I truve this software somewhat "galley".
It is stereo.

UTILIZATION

For use, it is relatively simple although the absence of a knob wet / dry directly accessible is severely lacking. In all, there are enough parameters to control its sound.

SOUND QUALITY

Regarding the sound, well it is not the Lexicon but it is not bad for the price. Personally, I do not get reverb, the rest does not interest me.
I have since acquired a UAD and I confess that I use the Alesis much less but I still love my Alesis well. Now, I do not leaves in gold and I have never been able to compare products more upscale hard, and in general, it is the comparison that kills. So if this is your first reverb, yes, go ahead.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 years and apart from a Behringer multi-effects, I never had any other hardware reverbs. While it is true that the sound is pretty decent but I think plugins are better quality. For the sound, it does.
Please note that the data wheel tends quickly tired.
In terms of price / quality ratio, yeah that troubleshoots.
Repeat this choice, no problem.

2 input jacks on asymmetric .. stop .. 2 outputs jacks unbalanced .. stop .. 2 sheets "din" for Midi connections (the second is switchable Out / Thru) .. stop .. a connector Jack for a pedal .. stop .. and we went around the back of the machine .. Note that the four Midiverb has no digital input / output. Depending on the use that will not be too annoying. Since we are talking among other entries, beware because the nominal input level is-10dBV so be careful if you interfaced to a console working voltages of +4 dBu .. The four Midiverb may not love at all despite the "Auto Level" function that automatically adjusts its inputs and outputs according to the incoming signal. It is very ingenious, but unfortunately it will not change anything.

This machine offers a wide range of effects ranging from reverb through the effects of transpositions, chorus, flanger .. or simple delay.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple and intuitive, wide screen LCD is for many. This screen, editing mode, always display four parameters editable and selectable four buttons named A, B, C and D. Values ​​are changed using the knob "Value", the constitutive parameters of a program are stored in pages 1, 2, etc. .. Anyway parameters editions of reverb are few (at most ten), therefore storage per page I think is a good idea ..
You should know that this Midiverb 4 offers four types of operation:
Single
Double
Dual Mono
Multi-Chain
which is typically four modes of chaining effects. That being said, any time these modes can not be changed by any edition .. It is a shame ..
on the other hand Midi implementation is not the most intuitive, competition is better (Lexicon, Tc etc. ..), but with a little practice you can get by pretty quickly.

SOUND QUALITY

Start with the reverberations. We really can not say they are conspicuous by their nature, but they are still used in most cases, provided they are at least edited. Indeed, (no pun intended) to the factory settings were probably made for "grandstanding" suddenly making their farms say .. difficult to see difficult .. on the other hand, once published, they are able to embellish a source of pleasant way. Moreover, it is also important to note that this Midiverb 4 is probably one of the only reverb "floor price" or can be used without blushing programs reverb with a long decay ..
Deadlines are in turn somewhat perfectible as not offering enough delay time, and certainly not enough available settings. It is far from a dedicated period Tc type D-Two, Yamaha D 5000 and consort .. this being, this finding with few exceptions, is valid for all multi-effects, and it is when the range ..
The chorus and flanger are other really good. And say all games are practically equal to those present on a MPX 1! Obviously if we ignore settings available on this Lexicon .. in the register of phase effects to bury the Midiverb 4, and staying at Lexicon, it took me to get one .. PCM 80!
The effects of transpositions are pretty average, difficult to use on an instrument and almost impossible voice .. In contrast the different combinations of effects are rather very successful and perfectly usable.

OVERALL OPINION

Well obviously if you're used to using professional units it is likely that this little bike will leave marble look will make you smile .. Yes, but .. in you a closer look there is also a safe bet that this little Alesis surprise you in many ways! Including certain combinations of effects very very successful!
Okay, it blows a little. The editing parameters are a bit limited time. She certainly has a full Midi implementation but not easy to use. It has inputs and outputs a bit anemic .. Okay .. but do not forget the price. And sincerely I'm really trying to ask me to buy one. Firstly because it really appealed to me, and secondly, with hindsight, she finally has its place alongside the Lexicon, Yamaha and others of Tc and Quantec ..

The effects are the classic reverbs, delays, chorus, flangers ... is a digital multi-effects (a / d / a 18bit 20bit internal calculations).
For the edition I know I have not tried. The connector has two in and two out configurable wish: two mono effects mono stereo .... over a trio of MIDI timing tempo, program change or Veloci (yes, really).

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, seamless functionality. The edition is complete with trs effects with no fewer than eight parameters changed. The manual is simple and concise.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is great, warm and realistic reverbs and flangers are hallucinating if only one tries SETTINGS wacky. The chorus are ideal for bigger bass. I only restriction techno (acid, tehno industrial or electro) already did so almost never midiv my essay on the votes except qqlqs samples.
I too use combinations of effects that neither the double mono degade the fx.
Otherwise, reverbs, reverse or not, on an equal kills a punchy ...

OVERALL OPINION

For 4 years I use it I've never had a problem except for the backlighting does not work anymore
If compared to a lexicon alex there's no picture I keep my alesis.
I think even buy a 2nd.

All types of effects (chorus, reverb and other delay ...
The device has an LCD light practice and trs.

UTILIZATION

It is very easy to edit the effects mainly through its widescreen

SOUND QUALITY

The quality of sound is to go despite what some may say? Especially as this product is still in the catalog of Alesis while this is not a rcent. C therefore the mark of quality since they still sell right?
2videment lexicon if one compartment is not the same CATEGORY. But rather than ruining it, buy the Used (150 to 200 euros).
For the price there's nothing to say.

OVERALL OPINION

On occasion it is still a good value quality price trs. Rverb This is especially well suited for voice.

All effects "clean" are available in either rsum delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, and the highlight is the impact Stros: auto pan, etc., and the possibilities are enormous effects seen that they are all combined.
The connector is also good trs: two jack in, two out (Stereo forces), and between one and a midi output (I never tried to sync, but as it MIDI is ca must be possible - and especially interesting to see the delay ...)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is, contrary to what I read, really simple trs. The sub-menus are very practical, it's always good recess ennervant davoir turn the big knob to select an effect, but you soon.

SOUND QUALITY

Personally I find the effects very good, I read an opinion or the person said that the range of effects not n'tait trs adapted guitar, ben recess if it is not known to use it. .. It is true that the presets are EXAGRES, but set a little bit while we rev quickly get excellent sounds, and even pushing some effects up to get it just sounds crazy, trs psychedelics.
For the cons, but this may be due to the fact that mine is pretty "old and use" - it blows!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this processor for several days, and I am Fully satisfied. I got used to it and quickly trs I recommend anyone looking CRER sound trs staff for their instrument, and any person seeking to effect his home studio.
recess there are better, but with a little research and by combining other effects are not really doing professional work with this machine.

Shame about the hum.
