Having a couple of 828es boxes, I can say with certainty that the reverb built into the internal mixer leaves a LOT to be desired. Can anyone comment on the quality of the reverb in the new 16A? Also, what are the parameters that can be edited?
Thanks Much,
Martin

Re: New 16A - how does the reverb sound?
Watching the Sweetwater video on the 16A I see that the reverb has edit controls for size, pre-delay, damping, decay, and width. I'm still interested to hear any comments about the sound quality.
Thanks Much,

Maybe MOTU beefed up the 'verb in the new interfaces...

I do the same thing. The built in reverb in the 828es is horrendous.HCMarkus wrote:That's why I hang a Lexicon box off my 828es SPDIF I/O.
