Precautions
1. Location
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity — such as near
radiators, stoves, etc.Also avoid locations which are sub-
ject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which
could cause mechanical damage and locations subject to
strong electromagnetic fields, such as close to broadcast
equipment.
2. Avoid Physical Shocks
Strongphysicalshockstotheunitcancausedamage.Han-
dle it with care.
3. Do Not Open the Case orAttempt Repairs or Modifi-
cations Yourself
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all
maintenance to qualifiedYamaha service personnel.
Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal cir-
cuitry voids the warranty.
4. Always power off before making connections
Always turn the power OFF before connecting or discon-
necting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the
unit itself as well as other connected equipment.
5. Handle Cables Carefully
Alwaysplugandunplugcables—includingtheACpower
cord — by gripping the connector, not the cord.
6. Clean With a Soft Dry Cloth
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the
unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
7. Always Use the Correct Power Supply
The unit should only be powered using the supplied
YamahaACAdaptor. The use of other adaptors can cause
serious damage to the unit. Never use a cascade arrange-
ment for the power supply connection from other equip-
ment.

Introduction
The REV100 is a high-quality, inexpensive, and easy-to-use stereo Digital Reverberator. It can be used for home recording or
smaller sound reinforcement applications. It is a true stereo processor with two inputs and two outputs.
Along with a high-quality stereo reverb, the REV100 offers delay-plus-reverb and modulation-plus-reverb effects. The 16-bit A/D
and D/A converters provide superb sound quality and a wide frequency response due to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate.
The REV100 is simple to use, with rotary controls for setting levels and editing effect parameters. A MIDI IN connection is pro-
vided so that effects programs can also be selected using MIDI messages.
To take full advantage of your REV100, please read this manual thoroughly and keep it for future reference.

3. Edit Mode
Each of the effects in the REV100 has several parameters. Three of the most effective parameters can be edited using the rotary
controls for quick, versatile, and simple operation.
Editing a Program
1. Press the and keys until the desired program number is displayed on the 7-segment LED.
2. Select one of the Edit controls, for example, the DELAY rotary control.
3. Rotate the control. The value on the 7-segment LED changes to reflect the adjustment you are making to the parameter.
When the parameter value you are editing matches the preset value, the LED beside the control lights up:
4. Listen to the modified effect.
The following table lists the values that you can edit with the front panel controls:
Storing a Program
1. Press the STORE key. The program number will flash on the 7-segment LED.
2. Press the STORE key again to confirm the operation.
Note that you cannot select a different program number to store your changes in.
Initializing the REV100
The following procedure is used to initialize the programs 1 to 99 (one selected program or all the programs) to the factory default
condition:
1. Turn on the power to the REV100 while holding down the STORE key.
2. Press the and keys to select the program number you wish to initialize.
When the 7-segment LED displays “ ”, all the programs 1 to 99 will be initialized.

MIDI Program Change Table
The REV100 has a MIDI Program Change table in memory which you can edit to re-order the effects programs.You can create
a table of program numbers which correspond to MIDI Program Change numbers 1 to 99. When the REV100 receives a MIDI
Program Change message, it will select the internal program number that corresponds to the MIDI number in the message. The
REV100 will ignore MIDI Program Change numbers 100 or greater.

1. Press and hold the MIDI key as you switch on the power to the REV100.
The 7-segment LED will display “ ” and the current MIDI channel number alternately.
2. Select another MIDI channel number by pressing the or keys.
You can select “ ” (OMNI), “ ” to “ ”, or “ ” (OFF).
3. Press the MIDI key again to return to normal operational mode.
Real-time Parameter Change
