After some trouble with my new multi channel sound card, I tried the Zwolle Surround version. It works greatly; it improves the spacial effect a lot.
The problem is that I cannot demonstrate it via internet, when you want, you can hear it at my home.
I tested it with my 4 speakers (2x Genelec 8040 for Front and 2 x Kenwood for Rear) at 2 locations:
1) Front / Rear
- Code: Select all
F1 organ F2
player
R1 R2
2) Rear beside the Front speakers
- Code: Select all
R1 F1 organ F2 R2
player
I preferred location 1) but also 2) gives a better effect than only the standard wet version.
I tested also 4 configurations:
1) Zwolle Surround standard wet
2) Zwolle Surround, the reverb of the Front stops limited to 500ms
3) Zwolle Wet, provide the Rear speakers with same sound as the Front speakers
4) Zwolle Wet, provide the Rear speakers with same sound as the Front Speakers and add reverb of my sound card
No doubt, Configuration 1) was absolutely the best choice for a good spacial effect. But...
One thought, the requirements (both, for memory and polyphony) are nearly twice at high as the Wet set.
I loaded the surround set:
Pedal and Rear channels of other stops:
- Compression on
- Only first loop
- 14 Bit
Other stops (Front channel):
- Compression on
- Only first loop
- 16 Bit
3 Pedal stops + 18 other stops: 3.431.000 kB (I have Vista 64 Bit and 4 GB ram).
So I expect with 8 Gb you can load about 6 Pedal stops + 40 other stops.
The Front Stereo channel is the same as the Zwolle Wet version. The Rear channels contain more reverb than 'pipe sound'.
