XL Reverb Technology
The essence of the M-One XL, the XL Technology, is based on TC's heritage
and continual research and development of Reverb technology. XL Reverbs
feature new and improved spatial perspectives, across the entire range of
Reverb algorithms. The extended range of the "reverb size"
enables extremely wide or narrow spatial imaging, independently of the
decay time. By applying "Reverb size" to both Early Reflections
and the Diffused field, the M-One XL achieves any combination from wide
spaces with short decay times, to narrow rooms with long decays.
Early Reflections, Diffused Fields & Modulation
The high resolution Early reflections found in other high-end TC reverbs
and newly improved Diffused field technology specific to the M-One XL ,
ensure a natural and clear result that no other processor can offer in
this price range. The XL Technology stands out by applying sophisticated
modulation patterns, simulating the modulation of a real room, and
allowing ranges of modulation from the barely audible real-room modulation
to heavy chorusing and detuning reverbs, also simulating the vintage style
of reverbs.
Small Room, a Focus
Small Room simulations have been a major focus in the tuning of the XL
Reverbs. The Early reflection patterns combined with the new set of
Diffused fields, allow realistic simulations of real rooms. Applied to
source material, the room simulations will bring clarity and presence to
the source. With the flexibility of the XL Technology, Reverbs can be
tweaked from virtually transparent Ambience patterns over large Hall
reverbs to low-resolution Plates or Spring reverbs.
Flexibility
Use the M-One XL to run two of the best sounding reverbs or other quality
effects simultaneously without compromising sound. The Easy Parameter
Level gives you more flexibility to create cool effects and the control of
important parameters is right at your fingertips.
Live
The Live algorithms are the grainy type of reverbs known as the typical
1980s live reverbs. Use these reverbs when "cutting through" any
PA system.
Quality XL Reverbs
The M-One XL gives you a wide range of high quality reverbs from the
classic Halls and Rooms to new and grainy snare reverbs such as Live and
Plate. Use the M-One XL ’s high quality reverbs to create sound
reflections in various environments. Now you can easily add different
levels of depth to your source material.
Multi-Effect ?
Bring new life to your mixes with TC ’s unique Compressor and Limiter
algorithms. You can add incredible Delays, wide Chorus or enhance the
details of your source material with the Parametric Equalizers. The M-One
XL has even more algorithms, such as Flanger, Gate, Expander, De-esser,
Tremolo and Phaser. All the algorithms are of the well-known TC Electronic
quality. Do not waste your time programming. Experiment with any of the
reverbs inside the M-One XL to determine what setting suits your source
material best.
Hall
These "classic style" reverbs simulate the reverberation of very
large rooms with very high ceilings. They have unobtrusive reflections
with a density and naturalness you have only been dreaming about, until
now. The Hall reverbs are especially good with vocals, acoustic guitar and
piano.
Plates 1 & 2
The most basic sounding reverbs in the M-One XL are the
"non-digital", mechanical sounding ones, which make metal plates
superfluous: Create the artificial reflections typically found on
"old mechanical" reverbs! Plates 1 & 2 are especially good
on drums and vocal tracks.
Room
The famous TC Electronic Room reverbs generates a vast array of room
settings with different sizes and surfaces. The Room reverbs make your
music come alive by adding ultimate realism and texture to your mix.
Presets
The M-One XL comes loaded with 200 high-grade Factory presets, covering
almost any imaginable application. On top of that the M-One can store up
to 100 of your favorite presets in the User bank. When satisfied with your
preset you just hit the STORE key to save it. It is so simple, that you
almost forget that you are actually making presets! In short, the M-One XL
gives you access to all the tools you need, whenever you want to create
quality effects e.g. Modulation and Pitch effects as well as EQ, De-esser
and Dynamics!
Drum Verbs
Making a drum kit in general or a snare drum in particular stand out using
reverbs has been standard in Pop/rock for many years. In the studio, where
listening conditions are perfect, there are a number of choices. Achieving
the same effect in a PA situation is quite a different story. High density
reverbs tend to disappear in a PA system. Using the "Live" type
reverb of the M-One XL will give you exactly the level of graininess
necessary to achieve this particular effect. The "Live" Reverb
works extremely well for short and snappy snare reverbs, as well as big
ballad 3.0 second Tom reverbs.
Big Lead Vocals
The big and dominating Vocal is often supported by a well tuned Hall and
maybe even some delays. Combining these two effects in the perfect mix can
be a bit of a challenge. The fact that Delay repeats continue to repeat
the original dry source, even after the Reverb decayed, makes the delay
stand out as a separate effect. Using the M-One XL
"Parallel/Serial" routing allows you to use both Delay, with the
accurate tap control, and high density Reverbs with independent inputs and
simultaneously feed the Delay repeats into the Reverb, allowing a greater
integration of the two effects.
Ambient Vocal Enhancement
Getting the lead vocal to sound both crisp and present in a live mix is
not always easy. Turning up the volume and keeping a neutral frequency
respond, will make the vocal "float" on top of the music. Using
the "Ambience" Reverb of the M-One XL helps this particular
situation. The high density Early Reflections and short decays, will add
sufficient brightness and shine to the vocal, without compromising the
frequency responds.
