| Digital Delay and Digital Reverb are two completely different effects.
Although mathematically there are similarities in the computations, the
particular factors in the formula are sufficiently different that you
will not find the two effects combined. The only place I have seen post
processing of this sort combined was at the MIT experimental music studio.
There, we used no hardware devices for reverb and delay. Rather, one or
more subroutines are defined to mix delayed versions of the signal with
itself in various combinations to mathematically produce delay and reverb.
There were various "canned" subroutines for general use and one was a post
processing subroutine that had all these parameters. Internally, however,
it was based on two seperate calculations.
Product info:
SDE-2500 - ROLAND Digital Delay
64 MIDI presets
750 ms maximum delay
LIST $795, EUW $595 (or better)
SRV-2000 - ROLAND Digital Reverb
24 MIDI presets
on-board parametric equalizer
pre-delay and gating
reverse reverb (a rare feature)
can be used with MSQ-200 (sequencer) for auto mix-down
LIST $1595, EUW $1395 (or better)
(described as similar to Lexicon PCM-60, considered
a top-of-the-line reverb, but a couple hundred $ more)
I would say the delay unit is a good buy at that price. The reverb, although
probably worth the money, is more than most people need. I can live with
manual adjustment for now.
I am told that people who have supplied DX-7 preset names can go see
Rick Swenson in Framingham for special deals. (heh heh)
