blackle « A M 3000 and me and me and me .. »
Published on 12/17/12 at 05:51Reverb unit offers also a lot of additional effects such as:
A Pitch Shifter 6 votes
a chorus / flanger
a Flanger / Tremolo
flanger / expander dynamics can also play Gates
a parametric equalizer also playing shelving
A compressor (very simplified)
and finally a esser ..
On the rear panel there are all that is needed to interface the M 3000, analog inputs and outputs on XLR symmetrical active. Regarding 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 format ... (rolling drum) S / PDIF. It is very comprehensive and allows to interface smoothly in a particular hardware .. followed by four plugs DIN MIDI protocol and responding to input Jack finally called "External Control" to remotely control various machine Bypass and Tap Tempo.
The front is a copy of M in 2000, there is therefore all the features of the latter: the column "Setup" columns "Engine" 1 and 2 (corresponding to two DSPs) and column combination of the two motors and as TC Electronic is a manufacturer pragmatic, they called it "Combined 1 +2". Then there's the column "Snapshots" (I will not comment ..) and finally (!) Column controls, touch the "Tap" and dial "I-of-the-wrist cramps '
Regarding the visualization of what happens in the machine, with its Tc M 3000 Led a multitude of caring for display input levels, as well as an overload due to signals input too muscular .. but also the sampling frequency selected (ranging from 32 to 48kHz), a witness acknowledged MIDI signals with LED flashing to the rhythm of tap tempo, the presence of a memory card and the action of the function called Morphing. We must also add that all switches offer a feature that Tc was considered important, the Danish manufacturer has incorporated some key reporting a Led .. It is pro at Tc Electronic ..
UTILIZATION
As for the M 2000, M 3000 is a model of simplicity and usability is very well thought out. This is required because the presence of a double effect generator makes relatively complex internal architecture .. and can we talk about here are the different internal architecture proposed in routing the bike and allow you to chain to make different effects:
1-Serial (series of two DSPs)
2-Parallel (parallel both DSP)
Dual 3-Mono (two DSPs are completely independent of one another)
4-Linked (both DSPs are coupled and work in stereo with their synchronization parameters)
5-Split (two DSPs are also independent and can have different effects with separate entrances)
Preset 6-Glide (Morphing *)
To be clear, these methods work thus allow mixtures of owls in style: more reverb or pitch more reverb chorus in series, reverbs separate dual mono mode, plus reverb or compressor in parallel .. This put you to choose your operating modes, as us, the last example I just quoted has absolutely no interest ..
All settings whether the routing of many and varied configurations, through editing effects itself are practically live access. A = a menu key, and the function hierarchy is no page like home Lexicon or Eventide, but drop-down menus. It is pretty obvious comfort .. certainly a comfort .. but this is not counting on that damn wheel that does not account for the speed .. at home .. Lexicon precisely! So hello towers increment and decrement to go eg preset 1 to preset 448 .. You will need a good dose of patient with a few pain in the forearm, including the wrist!
All that to get to the Wizard which is also present on the M 2000, and reminder, I quote my wife: ".. is a research system that offers first choose the type of algorithm that we wish to use and then define which source to apply .. "And my dear and better half, there are now more than two years, were compared in its opinion on the M 2000 precisely, a brand of deodorant inside .. Pschitt Pschitt!
So much on the 2000 model are use is not mandatory, as the M 3000 I'll advise you to use it because, as stated above, the wheel is a bit long to relax ..
* Morphing. I quote my wife again: ".. the function called morphing allows smooth moving from one effect to another with a dynamically changing effects depending on the signal level .. "What is it completely .. In other words, it is a dynamic transition between the two DSP (fading faster or slower) of the two preset effects, using as the trigger input level. Put simply, if your turbo singer passes, you will discover with pleasure that the 3000 M will, in absolute silence, the second tipped onboard DSP, or even where you have loaded an effect putting more value in this passage muscular. . It therefore requires such a long reverberation to a shorter, following the signal envelope, and all on the same two outputs.
SOUND QUALITY
In all lords all honor .. start with the reverberations. They are particularly successful without necessarily being an absolute realism, in all cases they are much better than the 2000 M it is true at times of very precise uses does barely better than M-One (for reverbs eh ..). We note immediately the disappearance of waves at low frequencies and especially this aspect relatively artificial high frequencies for the reverb (metallization if you prefer). There with this model is clear and rarely aggressive. More unlike M 2000 just a few additional parameters allow to soften reverb tails .. and it is very effective!
Other effects far from trivial, are also very good and especially the pitch Shiffer, without equal tenor in the field Eventide. Shiffer you pitch it will develop a beautiful chorus depth!
Flanger Phaser and other are also very successful. However you should not expect any miracles on to the compressor and even less embedded esser .. If you think of using the compressor alone you will quickly disillusioned .. in a word .. it sounds very small .. Moreover, to my knowledge and staying within budgets say decent, one of the few reverbs with a compressor perfectly usable as such is the Yamaha Pro R3.
OVERALL OPINION
If you are looking for a good reverb typical Tc Electronic suggesting other effects to combine them so perfectly simple and intuitive, this M 3000 could well be the bike you are looking for .. If you are looking for a quality reverb can be sufficient in itself, this M 3000 is sure to be the bike you are looking for .. If you are looking for a reverb sharp and capable of realism is the Reverb 4000 that you need ..
To make it short, this is a very good model causing its color very personal, simple to use, as long as you do not venture too far into the settings pushed too much cottoned before operation, and what particular parameter change subtly or not a program. It is far from an M-One ..
