blackle « A fresh and invigorating wind blowing in the remote wilds of Scandinavia .. »
Published on 01/04/13 at 09:38On the rear panel there are logically everything you need to connect this to R 4000, analog inputs and outputs on XLR symmetrical active. and what is digital, this machine offers a very complete device: Input / output to ADAT Toskink switchable S / PDIF inputs / outputs on XLR AES / EBU and finally inputs / outputs on RCA to S / PDIF. It is very comprehensive and allows to interface smoothly in a particular hardware .. followed by three sheets meet DIN MIDI protocol, and a USB connector for interfacing to a microcomputer ..
To stay on the USB plug, as mentioned above, this makes it possible to connect the R 4000 to a computer, allowing you to edit so perfectly simple and intuitive various programs the bike .. But also and especially to relate this to the beautiful R 4000 Remote Icon Tc found most often on the System 6000 (see Chapter usage).
To the front is the classic lcd screen, switches, LED and rotary switches .. Note however that the switches may unlike many M series, leaving room for a large part to three small thumbwheels ..
UTILIZATION
Unlike a previous opinion I find the ergonomics very well thought out, not really necessary to go through the Icon Editor software Tc, although it is actually more convenient. R 4000 can very well stand on its own. And then there's always the magician "Pschitt Pschitt!" Wizard to ensure easier to use and the choice of certain programs appropriate to a specific application .. In contrast, the use of remote control "Tc Icon" becomes evident once you are absolutely tasted. This remote enables dynamic management of all available parameters thanks to its sensitive motorized faders, leaving far behind the coup tool .. unstoppable!
To return to using three small thumbwheels can adjust three parameters immediately and the choice of parameters is performed by two switches present in their counterpart called "Home" which allows it to well, back to all the time the three parameters Tc deemed most important for reverb. Namely, the pre delay, reverberation time and the amortization of higher frequencies .. it is not at all stupid if we considered that it is often the most used settings on a reverberation generator ..
Well, I'm not really dwell on other commands, but be aware that there is also a section or program we find the famous and yet indispensable "Recall", "store" and "Wizard" you make me appreciate all explanations .. and also in the control section including some switches to go deal with some general functions specific to the machine via the menu "Utility". The change presets on them is by the largest of the thumbwheels (called wheel obese) also present in this last section.
The screen although small enough to read the various editing pages. The ballistic peak meter is more than enough in common use, and the various lights (LED) indicating the sampling frequency selected, the receiving MIDI signals or active input (digital or analog) and are well placed sufficiently visible. Moreover, the small edition high led practice. And allows a glance to know that you are dealing with a preset published ..
SOUND QUALITY
Well, we're finally in the thick of it. Reverberations long retain clarity for all the sound elements along their falls, without sinking image reverberated in the confusion that almost all entry-level machines or plug in cheap confronted us one day .. for clarity, these reverbs are some programs of stunning realism. As usual the small spaces are the most successful with a special mention for the algorithms from the M 5000 ..
However I admit willingly that emulations of old machines such as EMT 250/140 or the AMS RMX 16 I've never been packed away as the sounds are original .. Moreover, regarding the emulation of the AMS I wish that Tc Electronic explains how they managed to achieve this .. In short .. That said, it is not specific Tc Electronic ..
OVERALL OPINION
Very very good reverb unit is the pro and this is seen and heard! Okay, this is not a 6000, it is much simpler. Moreover it would be futile to try something other than reverb presets. Certainly, the followers of "the queu-leu-leu" probably regret resonant filters do you want in here, or dynamic filters, chorus and flanger and tremolo other cousins .. but that is not its purpose .. its mission is to provide high quality reverbs unadorned. And here it is clear that Tc Electronic excels in this area. Okay, it will never associations allows effects such as M 3000. M 3000 but will never get as natural reverb ..
