All user reviews for the Yamaha REV-1

The SREV1 is a convolution reverb masterful. sony.le the top with the principle of convolution is to recreate the acoustics of a place.
libraries supplied on the CD provided the convolution of different places. the reverbs from 1 to 4 seconds on average and SREV with a remote control allows you to change the reverb settings, pre delay, 4-band parametric equalization before the effect and after effect, so EQ per channel ect ect ...
24 bit digital processing, full edition with the remote (in two minutes you do what you want) remote control with motorized faders on the console, killing one.
connectivity is aesebu (ie digital) of origin. You can install maps for my 8 YAMAHA you wire a console analogique.Vous can work on two effects simultaneously on the inputs and outputs between

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, super easy editing, easy manual

SOUND QUALITY

Reverb has started make no hooks, impressive accuracy and quality of the convolution is simply a must for reverbs.

OVERALL OPINION

The SREV one does this compare to some multi effects, it does not play in the same release on a yamaha cour.lorsque SREV 1, it was between 9 and 11 000 euros excluding taxes and without the remote control that was selling the 1700 ht, C is a war machine, in studio or live
commercially a failure, Sony had a monopoly on this type of product and Yamaha were not selling enough simply stop commercialisation.Heureux owners of this incredible machine, do you ever separates

The set comes in 2 parts, the case (the heart) and a remote the size of a good book. On the back of the rackmount unit, 1 XLR (the only) input and 2 other times this XLR female to stereo output jack and an external clock (synchronization possible with other effects). Not forgetting of course the RS232 connector to connect the remote.
The reverb works on 16 bits with a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz.

UTILIZATION

Use to type of machine from the early 80's can be scary, at first, but once one has the remote in hand, we are quickly reassured by this remote effects of news in full any kind thanks to its large LCD display and its many commands. Everything is arranged in a logical and perfectly understandable for a novice not hear ..

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is clear, without particular resonance, clean and very soft, and frankly light years away from other productions YAMAHA (even today).
And no offense to the purists, as well as good reverbs QUANTEC, EMT, and AMS of the same period. At finesse, only LEXICON 224 XL can do better, while remaining within the same category and the same time.

OVERALL OPINION

A great reverb and really vintage even if that word is too often abused and used indiscriminately, there for the shot, it's real vintage.
Quite difficult to find time (especially in good condition).
Last little detail, new value in 1983: 100 000 francs ..
