Q.IhavesomeverycoolImpulseResponse(IR)les.CanIusethemwithReValverMKIII?
A. Yes. The speaker convoluon modeler (RIR) can load les in .wav format, provided they are
reasonably short. RIR is using a real-me engine that requires no parcular sample chunk size, so
it can operate less eciently with larger les. All input is therefore shortened considerably if
needed. No reverb, echo or delay type of IRs can be used.
Q.InReValverMKIIIyoucanswitchbetweenpush-pullandsingle-endedstages.Whatabout
thephaseinverter?
The phase splier, “Long Tail Pair Phase Inverter“ has two outputs, each being essenally the
same signal but with one being inverted 180 degrees. This is a common circuit to drive a push-pull
stage that in fact requires two signals, one being 180 degrees apart.
If you wish to drive a single ended stage you need only one signal, and there is lile advantage in
driving it with a phase inverter.
In a module that in fact has a phase inverter, you can sll switch the push-pull stage to a single-
ended stage. What happens is simple: the inverted signal is ignored. Only the top half of the
inverter signal is used.
Licensingandcopyprotecon
ReValver® MK III ulizes a copy protecon system that is enrely soware based. There is no need
to buy or purchase a driver to make the program work.
A license for the program, or a sub feature of the program, is handled through license les in text
format. These license les are locked to a parcular hardware component on the computer in
queson. The actual component can be chosen from a number of types (but at the me of writ-
ing, only the “system drive” can be chosen). You may upgrade your hardware any number of
mes, requiring a new license le (which can be downloaded through the Peavey web site, or the
accompanying Acvaon Tool).
