JVP UserÕs Manual41 The Parametric EQ
Low Pass Filter
This Þlter type allows energy below the cutoff frequency to pass. JVP uses a
12 dB/octave Þlter here to optimize for hiss reduction, psychoacoustic mix-
ing effects, and so on.
Low Shelf Filter
The low shelf Þlter can be used as a tone control in full mixes or to enhance
the ÒbodyÓ of solo vocal and instrumental tracks.
Peak/Notch Filter
The Peak/Notch Filter type is generally useful in coloring voice and instru-
ment tracks in a variety of ways. It...

Bandwidth Control
This control is enabled only when a Þlter section is in peak/notch mode.
The bandwidth control adjusts the width of the peak/notch Þlter. The range
of the control is from 0.1 octaves to 4.0 octaves, adjustable in 0.1 octave
increments. The control is adjusted by dragging as above.
Using The  EQ
The operation of JVPÕs parametric EQ is similar to all other digital EQs. It is
distinguished by its 24 bit dynamic range and unusual range of adjustment.

The effect of the EQ will be as expected except that any timing errors intro-
duced by phase shift will be canceled.

The Delay FX
JVPÕs Delay FX tool is unusual because it provides more control than the
delays normally found in hardware reverb and delay units. In addition to
having six individually adjustable taps, the Delay FX tool allows you to use
negative gain and adjustable comb Þltering to create a wide variety of musi-
cal results. Its controls are familiar and easy to use, so creating complex
delay effects from scratch can be done by ear.

Feedback Delay Control
This control adjusts the amount of delay used in the comb Þlter. The range
of the control is from 0 milliseconds to 371.3 milliseconds. Large delay val-
ues will give an echo-like effect. Small delay values will thicken the sound
or, if the Feedback Gain value is high, create a pitched effect.
Feedback Gain Control
The Feedback Gain control adjusts the amount of signal that is fed back
through the comb Þlter. The range of the control is from -99% to...

Gain Control
The delay tapÕs gain control adjusts the amount of signal that is contributed
to the delay FX mix by the tap. The range of the control is from -99% to
+99%. The control is adjusted by dragging the knob.
When the control is set at 0 dB gain, the delay tap is effectively disabled. 
Pan Control
In a stereo to stereo or mono to stereo JVP, the output of each delay tap can
be panned to any location between the Left and Right channels. The control

delay. The signal then ßows through the comb Þlter. The function of this
element is to ÒechoÓ the sound. This echoing causes periodic notches in the
frequency response of the output. Hence the name comb Þlter. Long feed-
back delay times will actually sound like real echoes.
The signal then goes through one or many of the delay taps. Each tap can be
individually adjusted for delay and gain. Using a negative gain setting,
reverses the polarity of the delayed signal, which...
