What I liked about it was the remote, with those faders, you could move them all at once and get a global decay adjustment, unlike the 91, where you have to menu dive for each frequency.
On the PCM90 — and I expect the 91 is the same — the low Rt decay time IS the global decay time adjustment.
It acts as a multiplier for the mid and high frequency decay times so that they track with it to maintain the correct proportions and tonal balance.
It's all explained in the PCM90's manual... so I can't believe it's not in the 91's manual too.
Well, changing the low rt certainly doesn’t sound like it's altering everything, sounds very muddy the more I increase it. I can understand if it had two functions, but what’s s the point of having a dedicated low rt if it affects everything? although changing the crossover seems to do "something"
And it's sort of annoying when you read on the preset list that the most important parameter to change on this sound is "decay" what? there is no decay parameter, or "change delay time" that doesn’t exist either, it's just very confusing listing things that aren’t mapped. This machine definitely "isn’t" intuitive.
Also, I’ve trawled though most of the presets and found a few decent things that I've edited into sounds I like, OK, I’ve got a nice dreamy space, a long epic "Running Blade" reverb, a couple of nice small percussion spaces, that’s it, job done, no need to edit anything anymore.
