M3000 contains the VSS-3 and VSS-3 Gate reverb algorithms, which are specifically designed for music production applications.
Since the mid-eighties a lot of effort in the high-end effects companies have gone into reverb technology. However, these technologies have all been built upon variations over the same theme, and thus only marginal improvements were created. Some of the main complaints relating to existing reverbs, are that they have unrealistic imaging, sound too metallic and have a tendency to impose unwanted modulation on the signal. With VSS™3 these drawbacks all belong to the past.
The main sonic advantages of VSS™3 are:
Ultimate realism
Combining a perfectly smooth diffuse field with detailed Early Reflections, VSS™3 is the ultimate reverb technology in the search of sonic realism.
Accurate early reflections
By employing a large number of directional taps - between 40 and 100 - VSS™3 is capable of simulating the Sonics of actual rooms with an unprecedented precision.
Smooth diffuse fields
VSS™3 gives you the highest degree of smoothness and clarity to the late reflections - diffused field.
Pitch-accurate
The gentle signal processing of VSS™3 keeps the signal in 100% correct pitch, even when engaging extensive effects processing.
Modulation free
VSS™3 is the first reverb technology that has the ability to keep the signal 100% free of sound deteriorating modulation, yet still provides additional modulation as an option that can be added.
All this gives you the ability to experience a completely new approach to reverb while still preserving the virtues of the old style effects.
