SRV-3030
24 Bit Digital Reverb

|
One of the latest offerings from Roland in terms of digital effects. Quality multi-effect processor, with very valid reverb spaces, but also great-sounding digital multi-fx. The small rooms in particular sound very realistic, and detailed. |
|
|
Notable the inclusion of an "EZ Edit" section, where one can edit the principal parameters of each patch very quickly and efficiently. The SRV-3030D version adds S/PDIF digital connections to the unit. |
|
Here below are some of the SRV-3030's factory presets.
I used a Roland Fantom XR and a Roland V-Synth with their internal effects turned off for the examples. The signal is first heard dry, then through the processor.
