ReQ·131 Instruction Manual
v1.2
B) Using the ReQ·131 as a send effect (mix / audio channel setup).
In setup (B), this would use the ReQ·131 as a send effect. This means that whatever control you adjust
on the ReQ·131, it will affect the sound coming from the Master Section at a set amount, determined by
the Send Effect dial on that specific Mix / Audio channel. This means you can have a clean sound mixed
with an altered equalized sound. This is known as Parallel Processing, and may be desired in some
cases.
Again you can adjust the ReQ·131 as mentioned in setup (A) above, with the addition of the SEND dial
located on the Main Mixer in Reason. Full left setting of the SEND dial has no effect on the sound, while
full right setting of the SEND dial will send a maximum level possible to the ReQ·131. This means you
can have one ReQ·131 as a send device for all your audio channels. However, latency may have a side
effect of cancellation of audio (aka phasing), due to the processing time needed to perform the filtering
of the ReQ·131, when used as a Send effect.
Alternative setups
For devices which have multiple outputs (ie NN-XT, Redrum, Thor, Spider Audio), then if required
additional ReQ·131’s could be added as either mono-devices (only connecting left audio input & output
sockets), or as stereo devices. This in turn allows you to edit specific sounds within a preset if you so
wish (ie split zone instrument patches may have a bass guitar for one half of the keymap, while a synth
lead is using the other half, and you wish to effect the sounds independently). See the next page for
more examples of setups.
Another possible option would be to use one instance of ReQ·131, and have 2 mono devices linked
into it, and process both inputs in parallel, and output the two signals to two separate mixer channels.
This may be desired to help use the same eqing settings on two mono devices at the same time.
