SREV1—Owner’s Manual

Important Information

Read the following before using the SREV1

Warnings

• Do not subject the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust,

which could be a potential ﬁre or electrical shock hazard.

• Do not allow water to enter the unit or allow it to get wet. Fire or electrical shock may

result.

• Connect the power cord or AC adapter only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this

Owner’s Manual

or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a ﬁre and electrical shock

hazard.

• Hold the power-cord plug or AC adapter when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never

pull the cord. A power cord damaged through pulling is a potential ﬁre and electrical

shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug or AC adapter with wet hands. Doing so is a potential elec-

trical shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including the unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged

power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place

heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid

or metal objects inside this unit are a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a

ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• If the power cord is damaged (e.g., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a

replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock

hazard.

• Do not plug several pieces of equipment into the same AC outlet. This may overload

the AC outlet, and could be a ﬁre or electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the per-

formance of some equipment.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or

liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord or AC

adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using a unit in this con-

dition is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place small objects on top of the unit. Metal objects falling inside is a ﬁre and

electrical shock hazard.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the

power cord or AC adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using

a unit in this condition is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• If the unit is dropped or the cabinet damaged, turn off the power, remove the power

plug or AC adapter from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using

the unit without heeding this instruction, ﬁre or electrical shock may result.

• Do not remove the unit covers. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think inter-

nal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

• Do not attempt to modify the unit. This is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

ii

Important Information

SREV1—Owner’s Manual

• Do not block the front panel air inlet, ventilation slots, or fan outlets. Doing so is a

potential ﬁre hazard.

Cautions

• Allow enough free space around the SREV1 for normal ventilation. This should be 20

cm behind, 10 cm at the sides, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted

when rack-mounting the SREV1. If the SREV1 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep

the rear of the case open when using the SREV1 so as not to obstruct the ﬂow of air from

the two cooling fans. If the airﬂow is not adequate, the SREV1 will heat up inside and

may cause a ﬁre. Do not mount the SREV1 above equipment that produces a lot of heat,

such as a power ampliﬁer.

• Turn off all audio equipment when connecting to the unit, and use only cables of the

type speciﬁed in this

Owner’s Manual.

• If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the power cord or AC

adapter from the AC outlet. Leaving the unit connected is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the unit.

Use only a soft, dry cloth.

• If the unit is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer

environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the

unit, which may affect performance. In this case, the unit should be allowed to acclima-

tize for about one hour before use.

• When the wordclock is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may occur from

the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your

power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged.

• If the RC-SREV1 displays the message “LOW BATTERY” when you turn on the unit,

ask your Yamaha dealer to replace the internal battery as soon as possible. The unit will

still work, but data other than backed up data will be lost. We recommend that you save

this data to a PC Card before replacing the battery.

• For electrical safety reasons, it’s important that the SREV1 is grounded properly. The

supplied power cord has a three-pin plug, and if the ground terminal of the AC outlet

is grounded, then the SREV1 will be grounded sufﬁciently through the power cord. If

the AC outlet does not provide a suitable ground, however, a ground connection should

be made to the dedicated grounding screw.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual

Handling CD-ROMs

• Use only discs of the type speciﬁed in this

Owner’s Manual

.

• The CD-ROM drive is for use with data discs only. Never insert audio CDs.

• Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.

• Always store discs in their cases.

• When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface. Hold discs by the edge. Fin-

gerprints, smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect performance.

• Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on that side can

affect performance.

• Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc

towards the disc edge, using a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion and never

rub a disc hard with a dry cloth.

• For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed speciﬁcally for use with CDs.

Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth.

• For disc marking, use only pens speciﬁcally designed for writing on CDs and write only

on the designated area. Do not attach a label to a disc.

• If a disc is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer

environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the disc

surface, which may affect performance. In this case, the disc should be allowed to accli-

matize for about one hour before use.

• Do not under any circumstances attempt to use discs that are cracked or warped. Doing

so may seriously damage the unit.

Handling PC Cards

• Use only PC Cards of the type speciﬁed in this

Owner’s Manual

.

• Some PC Cards and PC Card adapters cannot be used with the SREV1.

• Do not eject a PC Card while the activity indicator is lit. Doing so may cause data lose.

• Store PC Cards in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.

• Always store PC Cards in their cases.

Precautions for Transportation

During transportation, keep the CD-ROM door shut with tape, or a pad, or the like.

• When using tape, use tape that adheres well to the front panel.

• When using a pad, use a pad stiff enough that the elasticity holds the tray in place.

Installing the SREV1

When mounting the SREV1 in a rack, remove its feet and leave adequate ventilation

space all around (at least 20 cm of free space behind). If the SREV1 is mounted in a por-

table rack case, keep the rear of the case open when using the SREV1 so as not to

obstruct the ﬂow of air from the two cooling fans. Do not mount the SREV1 above

equipment that produces a lot of heat, such as a power ampliﬁer.

Conventions Used in this Manual

In this manual, the SREV1 Sampling Reverberator, the optional RC-SREV1 Remote

Controller, and the SREV1 software are referred to as the “SREV1,” “RC-SREV1,” and

“SREV1 software” respectively.

The RC-SREV1 features two types of button: physical buttons that you can press (e.g.,

ENTER and UTILITY) and buttons that appear on the RC-SREV1 display pages. Ref-

erences to physical buttons are enclosed in square brackets, such as “press the [ENTER]

button.” References to page buttons are not emphasized, for example, select the WCLK

IN button.

Generally there are three versions of each RC-SREV1 display page, one for each mode:

2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. If relevant to the task being explained, all three

pages are shown. If the item being discussed is the same regardless of which mode is

selected, then only one page is shown.

“PC” refers to an IBM PC-compatible computer running a Windows operating system.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual

Welcome to the SREV1

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha SREV1 Sampling Reverberator.

Unlike conventional digital reverberators, which synthesize reverberation using con-

trived signal-processing algorithms, the new SREV1 Sampling Reverberator from

Yamaha employs digital convolution processing to impose an acoustic “ﬁngerprint” of

a previously measured environment onto any audio signal, faithfully recreating the

original reverberation, with accurate reﬂection detail identical to that produced had the

sound been heard in that environment. The SREV1 is perfect for recording studios,

audio post, broadcast, concert halls, theaters, or anyone looking for superb quality

reverb that sounds just like the real thing, with the option to sample the reverberation

characteristics of any location for use back in the studio.

The SREV1 in a Nutshell

Sonic “ﬁngerprints” are produced by measuring the impulse response (i.e., acoustic

characteristics) of an environment, which involves “blasting out” time-stretched pulses

through an accurate speaker system and recording the results via carefully placed

microphones. The resultant impulse-response data can then be used by the SREV1 to

convolve the captured acoustic characteristics onto any audio signal.

In addition to stereo reverb (2-channel mode), the SREV1 offers four-channel process-

ing for surround reverb (4-channel mode). Alternatively, the SREV1 can be conﬁgured

as two fully independent reverberators (2-channel x2 mode), each with its own inputs,

outputs, and program settings.

Thirty-two of Yamaha’s new convolution chips provide the necessary “horsepower” for

real-time convolution of up to 5.46 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 2.73 sec-

onds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode). Featuring an additional 32 con-

volution chips, the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board doubles the available

convolution time to a maximum of 10.92 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 5.46

seconds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode).

Measured impulse response data is combined with variable parameters such as reverb

time and initial delay to form reverb

or the Internal Card or PC Card. Up to six programs can be stored in Quick

memory in 2-channel or 4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Programs in

Quick memory can be recalled instantly via the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller

or MIDI Program Changes.

Projects, which contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program set-

tings, provide a convenient way to manage programs and settings for each job. Projects

can be stored on the Internal Card or PC Card.

The PC Card slot is fully compatible with the PC Card ATA speciﬁcation and supports

the FAT16 ﬁle system. The CD-ROM drive supports the ISO9660 Level 2 format. Both

the PC Card and CD-ROM format is compatible with Windows.

The supplied CD-ROM contains preset reverb programs of famous venues from

around the world, and a CD-ROM library is planned for future release. The preset pro-

grams on the supplied CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory.

Program editing is handled at two levels: Main parameters and Fine parameters. With

Main parameter editing, channel parameters, such as reverb time, initial delay, reverb

balance, EQ, etc., are grouped, so that, for example, the reverb time of all channels can

be set simultaneously. Fine parameter editing adds pre-convolution 4-band PEQ,

post-convolution 4-band PEQ, and impulse-response data loading. Reverb parameters

can be edited individually or grouped. Reverb balance and reverb level parameters for

each channel can be controlled individually via MIDI Control Changes.

Two AES/EBU inputs and outputs (providing 4 channels) are built in and two mini

YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slots offer various analog and digital

I/O options (AES/EBU, ADAT, Tascam). Inputs can be assigned to channels individu-

ally, allowing various input/output conﬁgurations. In 2-channel mode, for example, a

single input can be assigned to both channels (left and right) for mono in/stereo out

operation, or an individual input can be assigned to each channel for true stereo in/ste-

reo out operation.

Superb sonic performance is provided by Yamaha’s new convolution chip, 24-bit I/O,

32-bit internal signal processing, and 48 kHz internal wordclock. External wordclocks

of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are supported and can be sourced via the dedicated BNC word-

clock input, AES/EBU inputs, or card slot inputs.

Up to four SREV1s can be controlled using the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller,

which features a large 320 x 240 dot graphical display, with ﬂuorescent backlight and

adjustable brightness and contrast, four motorized faders for parameter editing, and

input and output clip indicators. Power is supplied by the SREV1.

SREV1 Basics

Reverb Modes

The SREV1 offers three Reverb modes: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. In

2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo reverb processor. Use this mode if all

you require is stereo outputs, as it offers the maximum convolution time per channel.

In 4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel processing for surround reverb. In

2-channel x2 mode, the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo reverb processors

(A and B).

See page 34 for information on selecting Reverb modes.

The onboard AES/EBU inputs and mini YGDAI slot inputs can be freely assigned to

channels. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information.

Convolution Times

The following table shows the maximum convolution time available per channel for

each mode with and without the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board installed.

Convolution time is not the same as reverb time. Reverb time is the time it takes the

reverb to decay to –60 dB, and more convolution is required to provide reverberation

to –90 dB or –120 dB, so the convolution time must be between 1.5 and 2 times more

than the reverb time.

Impulse-Response Data

Impulse-response data contains the impulse-response information (i.e., acoustic char-

acteristics) of a measured environment. Preset programs come with their own

impulse-response data. Each channel of a program is assigned impulse-response data,

as shown below, and data can be loaded for channels individually on the Data Load

pages. See “Loading Impulse-Response Data” on page 61 for more information. The

impulse-response data for the preset programs is loaded into the Internal Card at the

factory. It’s also on the supplied CD-ROM.

Programs

There are two types of reverb program: 2-channel and 4-channel. Two-channel pro-

grams are for use with 2-channel mode and 2-channel x2 mode, while 4-channel pro-

grams are for use only with 4-channel mode. In 2-channel mode, 4-channel programs

do not appear in the program lists and vice versa. The preset programs on the supplied

CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory. User programs can be stored

in the Quick memories, Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected.

Projects

Projects contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program settings and

free you to leave a project and come back to it at any time. Projects can be saved to the

Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected.

There are three types of project: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. Each project

type is available only when the corresponding mode is selected. You can’t, for example,

select a 2-channel project in 4-channel mode. Projects are managed on the Project

pages. See “Working with Projects” on page 48 for more information.

Quick Memories

Quick memories are special memories for storing programs. Unlike programs on the

Internal Card, PC Cards, and CD-ROMs, which take time to load, Quick memory pro-

grams can be recalled instantly. There are six Quick memories available in 2-channel or

4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Quick memories are managed on the Pro-

gram pages. See “Working with Quick Memories” on page 42 for more information.

Drives

Programs, projects, and impulse-response data can be loaded from the following

drives: Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM. The number of programs that can be

stored on each drive depends on its capacity and the size of the associated

impulse-response data. Programs and drives are managed on the Library pages. See

“Working with the Library” on page 45 for more information.

The following diagram shows how programs and projects can be transferred to and

from the drives and Quick memories, and impulse-response data transferred from the

drives.

File Types

The SREV1 uses several ﬁle extensions to identify ﬁle types. Although these extensions

do not generally appear on the RC-SREV1 pages, they may come in useful when check-

ing the contents of a PC Card or CD-ROM on your PC.

Parameters

SREV1 program parameters, such as reverb time, initial delay, an EQ, are stored within

each program. Saved parameters include: reverb time, initial delay, reverb balance,

reverb level, pre EQ, post EQ, and impulse-response data names.

Other parameters, including reverb mode, wordclock source, I/O select, I/O level, and

MIDI settings, are not stored within each program, but they are stored in the SREV1’s

battery-backed memory.
