prevent the accidental loss of valuable data.
• Should the battery’s voltage fall below a certain level, the
message “LOW BATTERY” will appear in the LCD when
you turn the REV500 on. If this happens, it means that
contents of your REV500’s user memory have been lost.
Have the backup battery replaced immediately.
• Prompt and regular replacement of the back-up battery
is necessary to prevent the loss of important data. In
addition, if possible, you should use the MIDI bulk dump
function (see page 17) regularly to store backup copies
of your REV500’s data in a MIDI sequencer other MIDI
device. This will allow you to recover your data should
the back-up battery run down sooner than you think.

Controls
1 INPUT LEVEL control and meter
The INPUT LEVEL control sets the input level for both
the right and left input channels. It is accompanied by a
stereo LED meter that shows the levels of the signals
received by the REV500 after A/D conversion. Lighting
of the red CLIP LEDs thus indicates clipping of the
digital signal. You should adjust the control so that the
CLIP LEDs do not light.
2 PROGRAM keys
These keys let you choose the program that the REV500
will use to process the input sound.
The TYPE key selects the type of effect program to be
used: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, or SPECIAL. The current
program type selection is displayed in the upper left
corner of the LCD.
The PRESET/USER key selects between the PRESET
and USER program memory areas. The currently
selected memory area is displayed under the program
number in the LCD. It is possible to change the
parameters of a preset program, but the edited program
must be stored as a user program.
The NUMBER keys are used to select different programs
within the chosen program type and memory area. The
number and title of the currently selected program are
displayed in the top row of the LCD.
3 LCD
This LCD normally displays information about the
currently selected program. It also displays graphic
information about basic parameters being edited, as well
as a variety of other messages related to the REV500’s
utility functions.

This control sets the length of the initial delay that will pass
before the reverb effect (including early reflections) begins.
You can set a delay from 0.0 ms to 200.0 ms (or 299.9 ms if
the ECHOREV effect type is selected).
REV TIME
This control sets the length of the main reverberation.
Possible reverb time values range from 0.3 to 99 seconds.
HI-RATIO
This control sets the reverb time for the high-frequency
component of the reverb effect as a proportion of the overall
reverb length (REV TIME parameter). Possible values are
0.1 to 1.0.
ER LEVEL
This control sets the level of the early reflections (i.e., the
initial reflections that precede the main reverberation). You
can set early reflection levels ranging from 0 to 100.
9
Changing the Effect Level
You can also use the ER LEVEL control to adjust the effect
level, that is, the level of the total effect output. To do so,
press the EFF LEVEL key before turning the ER LEVEL
control. The LED above this key will light, and (as with the
other basic parameters) the program information in the LCD
will be replaced by a graphic display. You can set a level
from 0 to 100.
Realtime Parameter Control
The REV500 also lets you dynamically change the
aforementioned basic parameters in realtime, using MIDI
Control Change messages. The controller numbers for these
parameters are shown in the table below.

Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from the
parameter name to the parameter value and vice-versa. Use
the REV TIME control to select the parameter you wish to
edit, and to adjust the value assigned to the parameter you
select.
Please note that the parameters available for editing will vary
with the effect type of the program you have selected. You
can identify the effect type of a program by checking the
upper right corner of the LCD.
Effect type
Refer to the next section for a list of the internal parameters
for each effect type.
When you are done editing internal parameters, press one of
the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Remember that
(as with other program parameters) you must save the
program you have just edited before selecting another
program or turning the REV500 off, or your changes will be
lost. Refer to page 13 for instructions on how to store a
program.
Changing a Program’s Title
You can assign a program you have edited a new title, for
easy recognition.
To edit a program’s title, begin by pressing the UTILITY
key. The LED above this key will light, and one of the
REV500’s utility function displays will appear in the LCD.
If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the TITLE
EDIT display appears:
Cursor
Use the PRE DELAY control to select a character you wish
to change, and the REV TIME control to change that
character. Repeat this process until the title appears as you
wish it to read.
When you are done editing the title, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Remember that (as
with other program parameters) you must save the program
you have just edited before selecting another program or
turning the REV500 off, or your new title will be lost. Refer

System Functions
Selecting an Input Mode
If you will be using the REV500 to process monophonic
input (from the left input connector), you must use the
INPUT SELECT function to inform it of this fact.
To change the input mode, first press the UTILITY key. If
necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the INPUT
SELECT display appears:
Stereo input
Mono input
Use the REV TIME control to switch between the STEREO
and L-MONO input settings. When you have made your
setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility
mode.
Selecting an Output Mode
You can set the REV500 to output the processed effect
signal only, or a mixture of the both direct output and the
processed signal. (If you elect to add the direct signal, the
balance between the direct and effect output signals will be
determined by the EFF LEVEL setting.)
To change the output mode, first press the UTILITY key. If
necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the OUTPUT
MODE display appears:
Effect output only
Effect plus direct output
Use the REV TIME control to switch between the EFFECT
ONLY and ADD DIRECT output mode settings. When you
have made your setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to
exit the utility mode.
Setting the Footswitch Function
You can use an FC5 footswitch with your REV500, for
hands-free control of one of two functions frequently
required during live performances. You can use the
footswitch either to mute the REV500’s effect output, or to
advance the current program selection.
You can select which of these two roles the footswitch will
perform using a utility function. To access this function,
press the UTILITY key. The LED above this key will light,
and one of the REV500’s utility function displays will
appear in the LCD. If necessary, press the UTILITY key
again until the FOOT SWITCH display appears:
Footswitch mutes effect
Footswitch

Use the REV TIME control to switch between the EFF
MUTE and PGM SEL functions. If you select the former, the
REV500’s effect output will be suppressed when you
depress the footswitch. Depress the footswitch again to
release the effect mute.
If you select the latter function, depressing the footswitch
will cause the current program selection to advance in the
order specified by the MIDI program change map (see page
16). This function also lets you adjust the range of MIDI
program change numbers that the footswitch can select. Use
the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from PGM SEL
to the range setting, then use the REV TIME control to
adjust the upper value of this setting (which may be
anywhere from 1 to 128). The footswitch will advance the
current program selection until it reaches the program
change number you have set. Depressing the footswitch
again will return the program change number to 1.
When you have made your settings, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
15
Adjusting the Audition Function
The REV500 lets you customize the audition function to suit
your needs. You can select one of two tones: either a snare
drum or a rim shot. You can also specify whether pressing
the AUDITION key will play the selected tone once, or start
it playing repeatedly. You can also turn the function off, to
prevent the REV500 from producing unwanted sounds if this
key is pressed accidentally.
To adjust the audition function, first press the UTILITY key.
If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the DEMO
TONE TRIG display appears:
Tone selection Trigger mode
Cursor
Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from the
tone selection parameter to the trigger mode parameter, and
vice-versa. Use the REV TIME control to select the desired
tone (SNARE or RIM), or the desired trigger mode (OFF,
ONCE, or SEQ).
When you are satisfied with your settings, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Changing the Initial Title Display
This utility function lets you personalize your REV500 by
entering a short message that will be displayed briefly when
you turn on the power. This message can consist of two lines
of up to 14 characters each.
To edit this initial title display, begin by pressing the
UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again
until the INI TITLE 1/2 display appears:
Cursor
Cursor
This display is used to edit the first line of the initial title.
Use the PRE DELAY control to select a character you wish
to change, and the REV TIME control to change that
character. Repeat this process until the line appears as you
wish it to read.
When you are satisfied with this line of your startup
message, press the UTILITY key a second time to display
the INI TITLE 2/2 display. Repeat the process to edit the
second line.
When you are done editing the initial title, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Initializing the REV500’s User
Memory
At some point you may wish to clear the edited programs out
of your REV500’s user memory and restore it to factory
condition. The method for doing this is as follows:
Hold the STORE key down as you turn the POWER switch
on. The REV500 will instruct you to press the STORE key a
second time to initialize its memory. Press the STORE key
to go ahead with the initialization, or any other key if you
decide you don’t want to.
Please be aware that this procedure will initialize any system
settings and MIDI settings (such as the MIDI program
change map) as well as the contents of the user memory area.
16
Using MIDI Functions
Selecting a MIDI Channel
You can change the MIDI channel that the REV500 uses to
transmit and receive data. First, press the UTILITY key. If
necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI
CHANNEL display appears:
MIDI channel setting
Use the REV TIME control to select the desired MIDI
channel. You can set the REV500 to use any of channels 1
through 16, or select OMNI for all channels. You can also
select OFF to disable MIDI communication.
When you have made your setting, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Using the MIDI OUT Function
This function determines whether MIDI channel messages
received at the MIDI IN terminal will be echoed through to
the MIDI OUT terminal. You should turn this function on
when you want to connect two or more REV500s in a “daisy
chain” so they can be controlled by a single master device
such as a sequencer or keyboard.
Begin by pressing the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the
UTILITY key again until the MIDI OUT display appears:
MIDI message echo setting
Use the REV TIME control to select between the ECHO
BACK ON and ECHO BACK OFF settings. If you choose
ECHO BACK ON, the MIDI channel messages received at
the MIDI IN terminal will be echoed through to the MIDI
OUT terminal. (Other messages received at the MIDI IN
terminal will not be echoed.)
When you have made your setting, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Editing the MIDI Program Change
Map
The REV500 has a MIDI program change map that assigns
REV500 programs to MIDI program change numbers. This
feature facilitates remote selection of REV500 programs
(which are stored in eight banks numbered 1 through 25)
using MIDI Program Change messages (which can specify
program numbers from 1 through 128).
To edit the MIDI program change map, first press the
UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again
until the MIDI PGM TABLE display appears:
REV500 program selection
MIDI program change
number and cursor
Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor to the MIDI
program change number, and the REV TIME control select a
program change number whose program assignment you
want to change. Then move the cursor back to the REV500
program selection, and use the REV control again to select
the program that you want the REV500 to use when it
receives the selected program change number.
Repeat this process to change as many MIDI program
change assignments as you like. When you are done editing
the program change map, press one of the PROGRAM keys
to exit the utility mode.
If you are using a Yamaha FC5 footswitch with the
REV500’s footswitch utility function set to PGM INC/DEC,
depressing the footswitch will select REV500 programs
sequentially in the order specified by this MIDI program
change map.
17
Storing Data with MIDI Bulk Dumps
The REV500 is capable of transmitting its data as bulk
dumps, for storage in a sequencer or other MIDI device. To
use this function, first make sure that the REV500 is
properly connected to the device that is to receive the data,
and that the MIDI channels of the two devices match.
Next, press UTILITY. If necessary, press the UTILITY key
again until the MIDI BULK DUMP display appears:
Bulk dump type
Program selection
Use the REV TIME control to select the type of bulk dump
to be transmitted. The REV500 is capable of sending four
types of bulk data:
MIDI Bulk Dumps
Dump Type Data transmitted
ALL All data (system setup data, all user
programs, and program table data)
SYSTEM All system setup data
PGM Data for all programs, or data for a
single specified program
PGM TABLE MIDI program table data
If you select PGM as the bulk dump type, you must select
the program to be dumped. Use the PRE DELAY control to
move the cursor to the program selection, and the REV
TIME control to change the setting. If you select ALL PGM,
the REV500 will send the data for all user programs as a
single dump. You may also select a single user program and
store it externally using an individual data dump.
When you are satisfied with your selection, press the STORE
key. The REV500 will execute the data dump.
When you are finished transmitting data, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.

Add-4 Controls Front Panel 1 2 3 1 INPUT LEVEL control and meter The INPUT LEVEL control sets the input level for both the right and left input channels. It is accompanied by a stereo LED meter that shows the levels of the signals received by the REV500 after A/D conversion. Lighting of the red CLIP LEDs thus indicates clipping of the digital signal. You should adjust the control so that the CLIP LEDs do not light. 2 PROGRAM keys These keys let you choose the program that the REV500 will use to process the input sound. The TYPE key selects the type of effect program to be used: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, or SPECIAL. The current program type selection is displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD. The PRESET/USER key selects between the PRESET and USER program memory areas. The currently selected memory area is displayed under the program number in the LCD. It is possible to change the parameters of a preset program, but the edited program must be stored as a user program. The NUMBER keys are used to select different programs within the chosen program type and memory area. The number and title of the currently selected program are displayed in the top row of the LCD. 3 LCD This LCD normally displays information about the currently selected program. It also displays graphic information about basic parameters being edited, as well as a variety of other messages related to the REV500’s utility functions. 4 56 789 4 PARAMETER EDIT controls These controls let you edit the basic parameters of the selected program. The PRE DELAY control sets the amount of time that will elapse before the onset of early reflections. It also functions as a cursor control, which you can turn to select the parameter or character to be modified when using the REV500’s utility functions. The REV TIME control sets the amount of time needed for the reverberation to decay. It also functions as a data entry control, which you can turn to change the values of selected items when using the REV500’s utility functions. The HI-RATIO control sets the reverb time for the highfrequency components of the reverb, as a proportion of the overall reverb time set using the REV TIME control. The ER LEVEL control sets the level of the early reflection component of the reverb. It is also used, in combination with the EFF LEVEL key, to adjust the overall effect output level. 5 EFF LEVEL key and LED This key lets you use the ER LEVEL control to set the overall effect output level. When the LED above this key is lit, the ER LEVEL control will adjust the effect level instead of the early reflection level. 6 STORE key This key is used to store modified programs, and to execute MIDI bulk dumps. 1 7 AUDITION key 8 UTILITY key and LED This key causes the REV500’s internal tone generator to play a sound, allowing you to check the effect of the currently selected program. A utility function (see page 15) allows you to select one of two sounds for this key to play, and to set the REV500 to play this sound once or repeatedly when the AUDITION key is pressed. This key lets you access the REV500’s utility functions, which include MIDI settings and system-related functions. The LED above this key will light when a utility function is being used. See page 18 for a summary of the functions that can be accessed using this key. 9 POWER switch This switch turns the REV500 on and off. Rear Panel 0 A 0 FOOT SW connector This 1/4" phone jack allows you to connect a Yamaha FC5 footswitch, for hands-free remote control of your REV500. You can use the FC5 footswitch either to mute the REV500’s effect output, or to advance the current program selection. A MIDI terminals The REV500 sends and receives MIDI data via these connectors. B OUTPUT connectors and output level switch B C C INPUT connectors and input level switch These are balanced input jacks that receive the analog signal from your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment. A pair of XLR connectors and a pair of 1/4" phone jacks are provided. If the sound source to be processed is monophonic, insert the plug in the left (L) connector only. Also, be sure to set the REV500 to use mono input (refer to page 14). The input level switch selects either –10 dB or +4 dB as the nominal input level. Do not connect jacks to both the XLR and 1/4" phone INPUT connectors, as doing so may adversely affect the performance of the REV500. These are balanced output jacks that output the analog return signal from the REV500 to your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment. A pair of XLR connectors and a pair of 1/4" phone jacks are provided. If you desire monophonic output, insert the plug in the left (L) connector only. The output level switch selects either –10 dB or +4 dB as the nominal output level. Installation and Connections Before attempting to use your REV500, make sure that you have carefully read and understood the precautions inside the front cover of this manual. Mount the REV500 in a rack, or place it in a location where it is safe and stable. Make sure that the POWER switch is off before making any connections. Plug in the power cord, and connect the REV500’s input and output connectors to your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment using appropriate cables. Press the POWER switch to turn the REV500 on. 2 Using the REV500 Selecting Programs Testing Programs Program type AUDITION key Program number Program title Effect type Program memory You can use the PROGRAM keys to select a desired program, as described below. (Note that the following steps do not have to be performed in the order listed.) 1. Select a program type. Use the PROGRAM TYPE key to select a program type. The REV500 has four program types: HALL, ROOM, PLATE, and SPECIAL. Each program type contains 25 programs, as described in the REV500 Preset Program List on pages 4 through 7. The current program type selection is displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD. You can use the REV500’s handy audition function to check the effect produced by a program when it’s inconvenient to run your actual sound source through the REV500. Just press the AUDITION key in the upper right corner of the front panel. The REV500’s internal tone generator will produce a tone that lets you hear how the program you’ve selected affects the output sound. You can select one of two sample tones—either a snare drum or a rim shot—using the DEMO TONE TRIG utility function described on page 15. This function also lets you determine whether pressing the AUDITION key will cause the tone to sound once or repeatedly. If you set the audition function to play repeatedly, you can stop it by pressing the AUDITION key a second time. 2. Select a program memory. Press the PRESET/USER key to switch between the preset and user program memory areas. When you first use the REV500, you will find that both memory areas contain the same selection of programs. The contents of the USER memory will gradually change as you edit programs and store the results, as explained in the following chapter. The currently selected memory area is displayed under the program number in the LCD. 3. Select a program number. Use the PROGRAM NUMBER keys to choose one of the programs in the program type and memory are you have selected. You can press these keys once to increase or decrease the current program number selection by one, or hold them down to scan through the programs. Automatic Demonstration The REV500 has a demonstration mode that lets you hear samples of some typical effect settings. To select demonstration mode, hold down the UTILITY key and press AUDITION. Important: If you select the demonstration mode while editing a program, the program will be reset and any changes you have made will be lost. Be sure to save important program data before selecting the demonstration mode. (Refer to page 13 for instructions on how to store a program.) The number and title of the current program are displayed in the top row of the LCD. The effect type of the current program is also displayed in the upper right corner of the LCD.

Possible reverb time values range from 0.3 to 99 seconds. REVERB ER LEVEL Early Reflections Time PRE DELAY E/R DLY REV TIME HI-RATIO Reverb Time x This control sets the reverb time for the high-frequency component of the reverb effect as a proportion of the overall reverb length (REV TIME parameter). Possible values are 0.1 to 1.0. LO-RATIO 1.0 HI-RATIO Frequency The four PARAMETER EDIT controls on the REV500’s front panel let you adjust the basic program parameters quickly and easily. When you rotate one of these controls, the program information in the LCD (shown above) will be replaced by a graphic display indicating how the changes you’ve made have affected the parameter in question. (The display will return to normal a few moments after you stop turning the control.) Please note that you must save any changes you make before you select another program or turn off the REV500; if you fail to do so, your edited program will be lost. Refer to page 13 for instructions on how to store a program. PRE DELAY This control sets the length of the initial delay that will pass before the reverb effect (including early reflections) begins. You can set a delay from 0.0 ms to 200.0 ms (or 299.9 ms if the ECHO➔REV effect type is selected). 8 ER LEVEL This control sets the level of the early reflections (i.e., the initial reflections that precede the main reverberation). You can set early reflection levels ranging from 0 to 100. Changing the Effect Level You can also use the ER LEVEL control to adjust the effect level, that is, the level of the total effect output. To do so, press the EFF LEVEL key before turning the ER LEVEL control. The LED above this key will light, and (as with the other basic parameters) the program information in the LCD will be replaced by a graphic display. You can set a level from 0 to 100. Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from the parameter name to the parameter value and vice-versa. Use the REV TIME control to select the parameter you wish to edit, and to adjust the value assigned to the parameter you select. Please note that the parameters available for editing will vary with the effect type of the program you have selected. You can identify the effect type of a program by checking the upper right corner of the LCD. Effect type Refer to the next section for a list of the internal parameters for each effect type. Realtime Parameter Control The REV500 also lets you dynamically change the aforementioned basic parameters in realtime, using MIDI Control Change messages. The controller numbers for these parameters are shown in the table below. MIDI Controller Numbers Parameter Ctrl. No. PRE DELAY 12 REV TIME 13 HI-RATIO 14 ER LEVEL 15 EFF LEVEL 16 Editing Internal Parameters In addition to the basic parameters described previously, the REV500’s programs have a variety of internal parameters that can also be edited. To edit a program’s internal parameters, press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the INT. PARAMETER display appears: Cursor Value Parameter name When you are done editing internal parameters, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Remember that (as with other program parameters) you must save the program you have just edited before selecting another program or turning the REV500 off, or your changes will be lost. Refer to page 13 for instructions on how to store a program. Changing a Program’s Title You can assign a program you have edited a new title, for easy recognition. To edit a program’s title, begin by pressing the UTILITY key. The LED above this key will light, and one of the REV500’s utility function displays will appear in the LCD. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the TITLE EDIT display appears: Cursor Use the PRE DELAY control to select a character you wish to change, and the REV TIME control to change that character. Repeat this process until the title appears as you wish it to read. When you are done editing the title, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Remember that (as with other program parameters) you must save the program you have just edited before selecting another program or turning the REV500 off, or your new title will be lost. Refer to page 13 for instructions on how to store a program. 9 Internal Parameter List This section contains lists of the internal parameters for each effect type, together with a block diagram illustrating how the effect works. Since it is also possible to control internal parameters in realtime using MIDI Control Change messages, the corresponding controller numbers are also included in the lists. COMMON The internal parameters in the following table are common to all effect types. Parameter Ctrl.

To save a program, press the STORE key. The program number in the LCD will begin to flash, and the REV500 will ask you if it’s okay to store the program. (If you are editing a preset program, the memory area indicator under the program number will automatically change to USER.) If you want to save your program under a different program number, use the PROGRAM NUMBER keys to change the program number. (You cannot change the program type, however.) Press STORE a second time when you are sure you’re ready to save the program, and the REV500 will comply. If you decide you’d rather not store the program after all, simply press the PROGRAM TYPE key or the PRESET/ USER key, and the display will return to normal. 13 System Functions Selecting an Input Mode Setting the Footswitch Function If you will be using the REV500 to process monophonic input (from the left input connector), you must use the INPUT SELECT function to inform it of this fact. You can use an FC5 footswitch with your REV500, for hands-free control of one of two functions frequently required during live performances. You can use the footswitch either to mute the REV500’s effect output, or to advance the current program selection. To change the input mode, first press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the INPUT SELECT display appears: Stereo input Mono input Use the REV TIME control to switch between the STEREO and L-MONO input settings. When you have made your setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Selecting an Output Mode You can set the REV500 to output the processed effect signal only, or a mixture of the both direct output and the processed signal. (If you elect to add the direct signal, the balance between the direct and effect output signals will be determined by the EFF LEVEL setting.) To change the output mode, first press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the OUTPUT MODE display appears: Effect output only Effect plus direct output Use the REV TIME control to switch between the EFFECT ONLY and ADD DIRECT output mode settings. When you have made your setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. 14 You can select which of these two roles the footswitch will perform using a utility function. To access this function, press the UTILITY key. The LED above this key will light, and one of the REV500’s utility function displays will appear in the LCD. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the FOOT SWITCH display appears: Footswitch mutes effect Footswitch changes program Program change range Use the REV TIME control to switch between the EFF MUTE and PGM SEL functions. If you select the former, the REV500’s effect output will be suppressed when you depress the footswitch. Depress the footswitch again to release the effect mute. If you select the latter function, depressing the footswitch will cause the current program selection to advance in the order specified by the MIDI program change map (see page 16). This function also lets you adjust the range of MIDI program change numbers that the footswitch can select. Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from PGM SEL to the range setting, then use the REV TIME control to adjust the upper value of this setting (which may be anywhere from 1 to 128). The footswitch will advance the current program selection until it reaches the program change number you have set. Depressing the footswitch again will return the program change number to 1. When you have made your settings, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Adjusting the Audition Function Changing the Initial Title Display The REV500 lets you customize the audition function to suit your needs. You can select one of two tones: either a snare drum or a rim shot. You can also specify whether pressing the AUDITION key will play the selected tone once, or start it playing repeatedly. You can also turn the function off, to prevent the REV500 from producing unwanted sounds if this key is pressed accidentally. This utility function lets you personalize your REV500 by entering a short message that will be displayed briefly when you turn on the power. This message can consist of two lines of up to 14 characters each. To edit this initial title display, begin by pressing the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the INI TITLE 1/2 display appears: To adjust the audition function, first press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the DEMO TONE TRIG display appears: Cursor Tone selection Trigger mode Cursor Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from the tone selection parameter to the trigger mode parameter, and vice-versa. Use the REV TIME control to select the desired tone (SNARE or RIM), or the desired trigger mode (OFF, ONCE, or SEQ). When you are satisfied with your settings, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Cursor This display is used to edit the first line of the initial title. Use the PRE DELAY control to select a character you wish to change, and the REV TIME control to change that character. Repeat this process until the line appears as you wish it to read. When you are satisfied with this line of your startup message, press the UTILITY key a second time to display the INI TITLE 2/2 display. Repeat the process to edit the second line. When you are done editing the initial title, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Initializing the REV500’s User Memory At some point you may wish to clear the edited programs out of your REV500’s user memory and restore it to factory condition. The method for doing this is as follows: Hold the STORE key down as you turn the POWER switch on. The REV500 will instruct you to press the STORE key a second time to initialize its memory. Press the STORE key to go ahead with the initialization, or any other key if you decide you don’t want to. Please be aware that this procedure will initialize any system settings and MIDI settings (such as the MIDI program change map) as well as the contents of the user memory area. 15 Using MIDI Functions Selecting a MIDI Channel You can change the MIDI channel that the REV500 uses to transmit and receive data. First, press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI CHANNEL display appears: MIDI channel setting Use the REV TIME control to select the desired MIDI channel. You can set the REV500 to use any of channels 1 through 16, or select OMNI for all channels. You can also select OFF to disable MIDI communication. When you have made your setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. Using the MIDI OUT Function This function determines whether MIDI channel messages received at the MIDI IN terminal will be echoed through to the MIDI OUT terminal. You should turn this function on when you want to connect two or more REV500s in a “daisy chain” so they can be controlled by a single master device such as a sequencer or keyboard. Begin by pressing the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI OUT display appears: MIDI message echo setting Use the REV TIME control to select between the ECHO BACK ON and ECHO BACK OFF settings. If you choose ECHO BACK ON, the MIDI channel messages received at the MIDI IN terminal will be echoed through to the MIDI OUT terminal. (Other messages received at the MIDI IN terminal will not be echoed.) When you have made your setting, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. 16 Editing the MIDI Program Change Map The REV500 has a MIDI program change map that assigns REV500 programs to MIDI program change numbers. This feature facilitates remote selection of REV500 programs (which are stored in eight banks numbered 1 through 25) using MIDI Program Change messages (which can specify program numbers from 1 through 128). To edit the MIDI program change map, first press the UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI PGM TABLE display appears: REV500 program selection MIDI program change number and cursor Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor to the MIDI program change number, and the REV TIME control select a program change number whose program assignment you want to change. Then move the cursor back to the REV500 program selection, and use the REV control again to select the program that you want the REV500 to use when it receives the selected program change number. Repeat this process to change as many MIDI program change assignments as you like. When you are done editing the program change map, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. If you are using a Yamaha FC5 footswitch with the REV500’s footswitch utility function set to PGM INC/DEC, depressing the footswitch will select REV500 programs sequentially in the order specified by this MIDI program change map. Storing Data with MIDI Bulk Dumps The REV500 is capable of transmitting its data as bulk dumps, for storage in a sequencer or other MIDI device. To use this function, first make sure that the REV500 is properly connected to the device that is to receive the data, and that the MIDI channels of the two devices match. Next, press UTILITY. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI BULK DUMP display appears: Bulk dump type Program selection Use the REV TIME control to select the type of bulk dump to be transmitted. The REV500 is capable of sending four types of bulk data: MIDI Bulk Dumps Dump Type Data transmitted ALL All data (system setup data, all user programs, and program table data) SYSTEM All system setup data PGM Data for all programs, or data for a single specified program PGM TABLE MIDI program table data If you select PGM as the bulk dump type, you must select the program to be dumped. Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor to the program selection, and the REV TIME control to change the setting. If you select ALL PGM, the REV500 will send the data for all user programs as a single dump. You may also select a single user program and store it externally using an individual data dump. When you are satisfied with your selection, press the STORE key. The REV500 will execute the data dump. When you are finished transmitting data, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. 17 Appendix Guide to Utility Mode Functions The following table briefly describes the functions that can be accessed using the UTILITY key.
