™ INTRODUCTION PANTHEON HISTORY In 1971 Lexicon released the first Digital Audio product ever to the world, a simple delay line called the Delta-T 101. Since this time Lexicon has been at the forefront of digital audio. In the late 1970’s after finishing his Ph.D. in Physics, Dr. David Griesinger developed one of the first digital reverberation devices. The product eventually became the Lexicon 224 reverberator. The 224 was just the beginning of a long line of Lexicon reverberation devic

REVERB OVERVIEW USING REVERB Music recorded in a typical studio sounds lifeless. In a performance space the music is enhanced by reverberation, but even in an ideal space capturing that reverberation can be difficult. Lexicon reverberators solve this problem by enabling you to generate exactly the reverberance that your recordings call for. The Pantheon Reverb Plug-in is designed to create, through software, the acoustics of any real or conceivable space. REVERBERATION AND REALITY The a

™ COMPUTER MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS PANTHEON COMPUTER MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS Powerful software for audio recording requires a powerful computer with the right operating system software, processor, memory, and hard drive space. Most currently sold computers already meet these requirements, or can be upgraded to be compatible with the Lexicon Pantheon Plug-in. As with all such systems, adding more RAM than the minimum will allow you to do more processing and improve performance. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

™ DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS PANTHEON DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS REVERB TYPE The type parameter gives six selections of reverb types including: Hall, Chamber, Room, Plate, Ambience, and Custom. Hall is a hall effect with gradual build-up, well suited to complex sounds like orchestral music. Its reverberators avoid the buildup of tinny, grainy, metallic colorations. Chamber is a complex miniature-space effect resembling an echo chamber at its smaller settings and, at its

DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS Custom is a effect suited to achieve unnatural or special application reverbs where a wide parameter range is needed. PRE-DELAY Pre-Delay controls the amount of delay time that precedes the initial sound from the reverb. This parameter is used to place the reverberated signal in time with respect to the unprocessed signal. Natural settings for this are based on the size of the environment and range from 0 to 19 milliseconds. Fine adjustment of this parameter

™ DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS PANTHEON DAMPING In real rooms, the timbre of the reverberant tail becomes darker over time due to the air’s absorption of high-frequency sound energy. The Damping control models that behavior with even greater range of control than could be achieved in any physical space. Setting the cutoff frequency in the Damping parameter within a range between 2 kHz to 6 kHz is the most natural sounding with larger spaces needing a lower damping cutoff frequency. Damping

DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS ECHO LEVEL LEFT/RIGHT In many real spaces, distinct reflections and echoes are an important part of the sound. Although many natural-sounding environments use little or no echo there are some cases where they can be used to help define the size of the space or to give a slapback or doubling of the diffused sound. The echo signals are fed from the diffusion section to the left and right output with independent control of the left and right echo levels. These leve
