Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha ProR3 Digital Reverberator. The ProR3 marks a new era in
Yamaha’s reverberation technology. Third-generation Yamaha digital signal processors (DSP)
with 32 bit digital signal processing and high-performance 20 bit linear A/D and D/A convert­ers provide unprecedented density and resolution, with breathtakingly dynamic impact. The
ultra-high quality analog input and output circuitry achieves a dynamic range of 110 dB, provid­ing incredibly natural reverberance with a noiseless decay.

The ProR3 has 10 primary effects; reverb, early reflection, room simulation, and combinations of
reverb with echo, chorus, flanging, pitch change, and auto pan, etc. A pre-effect EQ is provided
in front of the primary effect, and following the primary effect, dynamic filter, compressor, EQ,
gate, level, and balance stages are provided. In stereo input mode, full stereo reverb is provided.
In addition to 90 preset programs for immediate use, 90 user memory locations are provided for
your own custom settings.

The stereo inputs and outputs feature both balanced XLR type and 1/4" phone jack connectors,
for connection to a variety of equipment. The input and output level selectors (–10 dB/+4 dB)
also allow flexibility in level adjustment. Programs can be selected from an external MIDI device,
and bulk data dumps can also be performed.

The Yamaha ProR3 digital reverberator is the result of an important step forward in digital rever­beration technology. It provides a previously unattainable level of rich reverberation effects,
sound quality, and operability, and is an ideal reverberator for use in any situation, from the
home studio to pro audio recording and PA work.

compression.

The small room programs are extremely short reverbs created with hip-hop in
mind. These are meant to be applied in small amounts , so that the sound appears
either dry or to have the natural acoustics of a studio. They are especially effec­tive on sequenced instruments, synth brass, and on instruments recorded in a
dead studio.

A percussive short reverb with chorus added. Gives ambiance to drums, lead
instruments, and vocals.

Simulates an early and extremely expensive digital reverb unit.

A combination of hall-type reverb and delay. Set the L and R Delay and IniDly
parameters to match the tempo of the song.

These programs provide early reflections alone. Try them when you wish to add
room ambiance to drums, percussion, guitar, line-recorded bass, electric piano,
and solo instruments.

Simulations of the bright and crisp plate reverb preferred in studios on the US
west coast.

Short and bright percussion plate. Set the IniDelay parameter according to the
tempo.

These are gated reverbs with only the early reflections.
ER Gate 1 is a natural and uncolored gate. ER Gate 2 is a bit metallic. ER f or Kic k
is for when you want to fatten up a thin sounding bass drum.
Adjust the Liveness and RoomSize parameters as desired.
As the names suggest, Power Gate 1 and Power Gate 2 are f or when y ou want to
make the drums really stand out.

These are standard combinations of reverb + noise gate. Compared to the gated
programs consisting only of E.Ref, more detailed settings are required to fit them
to your song, but this also means that you have more control.
These simulate the gated reverb effect produced by a tape running backwards,
like the Reverse Gate prog rams on the REV7 and REV5. Mak e settings to match
the tempo of the song.

Reverb Flange 1 is natural. Reverb Flange 2 through Reverb Flange 4 sound pro­gressively deeper and more showy.

The bypass function

When you press the BYPASS key, the circuit will be switched so that the input sound is output
directly. This function provides an easy way to make a quick comparison between the sound pro­cessed by the effect program and the unprocessed sound. When the effect is bypassed, the red
indicator will light.

The PRE EFFECT EQ controls allow you to make settings for the three-band pre-effect equalizer.
For each band, you can set the center frequency and the gain.

LOW MID HIGH

Frequency 50 Hz to 700 Hz 350 Hz to 5 kHz 2 kHz to 20 kHz
Gain ±15 dB ±15 dB ±15 dB

1. Press the PRE EFFECT EQ ON key to turn on the equalizer.

The green indicator will light.

2. Select a band, and rotate its control knobs to adjust the gain.

3. Rotate the FREQ (frequency) control of the selected band.

To hear the effect of the equalizer, first adjust the gain level of the selected band, and then adjust
the frequency.

The equalizer control settings are not stored in the program memory. If the equalizer is turned
on, its settings will affect all programs.

Note: The pre-effect equalizer controls are located in the circuit after the INPUT level meters. This
means that you need to be careful when setting gain levels, since even if the gain is raised excessively
and digital clipping occurs, this will not be indicated by the meters.

The INFINITE function

The INFINITE function lets you set an extremely long reverb time. This is effective when used on
the ending of a song, etc.

The INFINITE key can be used in the following two ways.

•Press and immediately release the INFINITE key.
The reverb time will be set to the maximum. Press the key once again and the reverb time will
return to the original value.

•Press hold the INFINITE key.
The reverb time will be set to the maximum as long as you continue holding the key. When
you release the key, the reverb time will return to the original value.

Note: For programs whose primary effect is early reflection (ER) and do not have a RevTime parame­ter, therefore this key will have no effect.

Preset programs are “ready-made” programs. In contrast, user programs can be tailor-made to
meet your needs. This section explains how you can edit your own programs.

How programs are organized

Each of the ProR3 program consists of two main stages; the primary effect and the secondary
effects.

Of these, the primary effect can be selected from one of the following ten types, and will depend
on the program that you select.

Single type: Reverb, ER, Room Sim
Compound type: Rev+Ech, Rev+ER, Rev+Cho, Rev+Sym, Rev+Flg, Rev+Pit, Rev+PAN

The “+” in compound type effects such as “Rev+Ech” means that these
effects simultaneously apply both reverb (Rev) and echo (Ech). You can
select the order in which these occur; i.e., whether reverb will be
applied and then echo, or echo applied and then reverb.

The secondary effects are supplementary, and are the following five which are provided for each
program: DFL (dynamic filter), COMP (compressor), EQ, GATE, and LEVEL/BAL.

The primary effect is the decisive factor in determining the character of the entire effect, and if
you know its type, you will have a good idea of how the entire program will sound. For this rea­son, when the program is shown in the LCD, the primary effect type used by that program will
be shown along with the program number and title, and is also given in the list.

*3 Hall, Room, Vocal, Plate
*4 Reverb + Pitch, Pitch → Reverb, Reverb → Pitch
*5 Set this parameter when you wish to use note messages from a MIDI keyboard etc. to control the pitch difference

between the input sound and the pitch shifted sound.
The pitch difference between the input sound and the pitch shifted sound will be determined by the pitch difference
between the Base Key specified b y this parameter and the note-on message that is receiv ed. For e xample if the Base
Key is set to C4, an incoming note-on message of C3 would shift the pitch down one octave, and an incoming note­on message of D4 would shift the pitch up a whole step.
*MIDI note number 60 is considered C3.
* The range of the actual pitch change is ±1 octave, so even if the specified pitch difference exceeds 1 octave, the

resulting pitch change will stay within this range.
* If Base Key is set OFF, MIDI note-on messages will not control the pitch.
*When using MIDI note-on messages to control the amount of the pitch shift, the pitch of the last-input note-on

message will set the Pitch parameter.
