Update- Pioneer SR-60 Analog “Reverb” and doubler

I’m just about to send out updates for another older library of mine. In fact, it’s my first reverb to include any kind of sampled controls, and if I’m not mistaken, the first Nebula reverb to offer any at all. This is still pretty uncommon in Nebula, but most of the reverbs I released after this release do offer some kind of sampled control.

I think this library went a bit overlooked because of how unusual the sampling source hardware is, but the library does offer some nice delay effects for the price. I got pretty experimental with lots of the effects in here, after making programs that represent the hardware in a more straight-forward way. So ultimately it’s just a lot of cool and sometimes weird, but always very, very analog sounding delay effects (feedback control can be really good in a lot of them too).

Anyway, here’s the info!

* Updated some program settings to be more like my recent reverbs/delays. I think this improves the dynamic behavior.

* Removed all of the programs that were set up as insert style effects, leaving only send style programs (only real difference is that the send programs load with ‘dry’ control dropped to minimum setting by default). Reduces clutter in the Nebula program select menu.

* Removed most of the various programs with different kern amounts, leaving only 2 options. Renamed these ‘lite/clean’ and ‘full’.

* Fixed some issues with the dynamics in the actual impulses. Really, I did lots of editing to the samples that fixed several various issues but I can’t even remember them all to list here. Lots of little things that I think add up to the programs just being nicer (one example I can remember is that the levels are more consistent as you adjust any sampled controls in the programs that have them).
Now there has been a lot of debate about whether or not you climax ahead or satisfy your partner and have the climax viagra best you have never imagined of. If it is suitable, can sildenafil delivery prevent or relieve symptoms. This drug leads for common side- effects that include generic levitra 5mg headache, upset stomach, blurred eye-vision and color confusion (confusion between green and blue color). After all, with the relative ease with which treatment can now be found and the fact that it grows in one of the purest regions sale of sildenafil tablets of the world.
* Greatly improved the dynamic response with fast inputs like drums. Could sometimes sound glitchy in the old programs, sound great now, nice and smooth.

* Removed lots of the harmonic impulses. There were just too many, and removing them improves performance. Quality was not hurt. Also removed most of the upper kerns for harmonics altogether. The impulse .wavs actually had harmonic content in most of them, going all the way up to 10k, but in actual use those upper harmonics come out at around -150dB. It kind of blows my mind that they look so loud and clear/well above the noise floor, in many of the upper harmonic samples, but yet they’re somehow still so quiet in actual use. I would expect them to be below the noise floor in the samples. It’s kind of a mystery to me but it is what it is, so I removed them. They’re impossible to notice at those low levels. All of this lowered CPU use and load times.

* Some dry (non-delayed) signal existed in some of the impulses. Fixed/removed.

* Some impulses had the two channels out of phase with each other (inverted). This is how the hardware works, but it’s not good because it makes the delay effect not be mono compatible. If reduced to mono, the delay largely disappears (not completely). I inverted one of the channels to fix this.

* Bionic Duet C had some phase inconsistencies between settings on the tune control fixed. Bionic Reverb C had phase and delay length inconsistencies fixed, so now the EQ control functions much smoother, as intended.

* Moved the library to the same category inside Nebula as my recent Super Time Tube release. That release also includes some samples from a unit very similar to this Pioneer, so having all of those analog delay effects in the same place makes for a more convenient user experience, in my opinion.
