1582.0. "ART PROverb Effects (FX) Unit" by SQUEKE::LEIGH () Mon Aug 01 1988 12:55

  After a DIR/TITLE=ART and /KEYWORD=ART and not finding a note I am making
  this note for discussion of gear from ART.  My reason?  I don't own any but
  would like any info from users of it.  I would like to buy an inexpensive
  reverb unit like the Alesis MVII but after hearing all the reports, I would
  like to explore possible others.  While visiting Daddy's in  Nashua I
  noticed the ART Prov Verb 2000 @ 349 Daddy's List.  Any comments on this
  and other ART products?

1582.1PROverb? Nahh.DYO780::SCHAFERBrad ... DTN 433-2408Mon Aug 01 1988 13:545
    PROverb specifically - only 12kHz range, programs are accessible ONLY
    sequentially from the front panel (ie to get at pgm 100 from pgm 1 from
    the front panel, press uparrow 100 times).

1582.2Have they addressed these problems?LOLITA::DIORIOMon Aug 01 1988 14:105
    re -1 Yeah those limitations were imposed by the ProVerb I. Does
    that ProVerb 200 (and that other new one they have out--I forget
    the name) have the same limitations?

1582.3Proverb Owner Speaks RUGRAT::POWELLDan Powell/274-6608Mon Aug 01 1988 14:2014
I've owned a Proverb for a year now, and I agree with most of the comments. 
It's true that the 12Khz range is limiting, as is the single slider for
mix, ditto on the cumbersome patch change *feature*. But, it isn't that
bad if used properly. I had an upgrade ($85) installed that gives the unit 
200 presets (just like the Proverb 200).  Would I buy another one? 
    
NO
    
When ART put the Proverb out on the market I suspect they were trying to
get a jump on Alesis before the MVII hit. I think they got hit hard by the 
MVII and are probably putting a lot of their marbles on the Multiverb. 

I think you'd be better off buying a Multiverb or MVII.

1582.4Lukewarm Review from MSODRUMS::FEHSKENSMon Aug 01 1988 18:558
    The Proverb 200 just got a real lukewarm review from Music Sound
    Output.  Basically they said the competition in this market was
    really hot, and the Proverb 200 didn't really hack it - there were
    other low end reverbs that did more, sounded better and cost less.
    It wasn't even a turkey, just the competition was tough.

    Uh, if you can get a MIDIVERB II for $300 I suggest you politely
    spit in the seller's eye.
    
    They retail for $269.
