11 TC8210 User Manual
EARLY/REV
The EARLY/REV parameter makes the TC8210 very exible by giving access
to setting the mix amount of the Early Reections and the diuse Reverb
tail. EARLY/REV set to 0 mutes the Reverb tail, and set to 99 mutes the Early
Reections, and 50 sets identical output gain on both. From 10 though 90 each
increment changes the gain by 0.5 dB. Outside this range, the gain steps are
approxmately 3 dB each.
Tip: A good starting point for tuning the reverb is with Early Reections damped
about 6 dB relative to the diuse Reverb tail, which is obtained by EARLY/REV set
to 62.
Select EARLY/REV by pressing the SELECT button until the red LED lights next to
the EARLY/REV text in the hardware display.
Press the VALUE up and down buttons to adjust the value from 0 to 99.
PRESET
Select PRESET by pressing the SELECT button until the red LED appears next to
the PRESET text in the hardware display.
Press the VALUE up and down buttons to select the available presets. Only those
that have been selected as a favorite, will show the favorite number in the
display. In the user interface Presets menu, you can also select "browse favorites
only," in which case, the VALUE up and down arrow buttons will navigate the
favorite presets only.
The TC8210 plug-in display in your DAW will also show the current preset number
and name. As the preset changes, the hardware module will also show its
reverb type.
BYPASS
Select Bypass by pressing the BYP. button on the hardware module. This will
bypass the TC8210 unit, so you can easily and quickly veriy its eect.

Levels Section
INPUT
Click and drag up or down to adjust the input level from 0 to 99 (=100%).
A setting of 0 is OFF, and a setting of 1 is -96 dB. The level increases in 3 dB
increments at lower settings, and by 0.5 dB increments at higher levels.
Alternatively, click on the white dB value, and when highlighted, enter a
new dB value using the keyboard.
The small lock icon allows you to keep the input at the same level, even when a
new preset is selected.
DRY/WET
When using the TC8210 on an aux send in a DAW project, the DRY/WET parameter
should be set to 99 (=100%), where all direct signal is muted to prevent the risk
of phasing issues when mixing it back into the master bus. To be able to browse
presets click the lock icon.
Click and drag up or down to vary the dry/wet ratio from 0 to 99 (100%).
Alternatively, click on the white % value, and when it is highlighted, enter a new
value using the keyboard.
The small lock icon allows you to keep the dry/wet ratio at the same level,
even when a new preset is selected.

Click and drag up or down to adjust the output level from 0 to 99. A setting of
0 is OFF, and a setting of 1 is -96 dB. The level increases in 3 dB increments at

Sound Section
EARLY COLOR
EARLY COLOR sets the brightness of the reverb. Use it to set a more natural and
warmer reverb color (DARK) or a colder sound (LIGHT).
The Early Color parameter has two options: 1 LIGHT or 0 DARK.
The desired option can be selected using the mouse by click-and-dragging on
the red numeric value, while moving the mouse. Alternatively, click and hold
the current option (in white text), and select the other option from a small
drop-down menu.
