Alesis NanoVerb Digital Effects Processor

January 18, 1996 -- Alesis Corporation announced the introduction of the new NanoVerb 18 Bit Digital Effects Processor, according to Jim Mack, Alesis Director of Marketing. Alesis will begin shipping the NanoVerb in Spring 1996.

"The NanoVerb is a classic example of Alesis' innovative, value oriented approach to effects processing design," said Mack. "In 1987, Alesis introduced the original MicroVerb, a definite breakthrough product which offered affordable 16-bit reverb performance in a 1/3 rack-space unit. The NanoVerb packs even more power into a similar small package, at the incredible price of $179."

The NanoVerb offers 16 new Alesis effects algorithms, including hall, room, plate and nonlinear reverbs, true stereo chorus and flange, delay, and three multieffects programs with chorus/room, chorus/delay/room, and lezlie/room. It offers 18-bit A/D and D/A converters with a 20-bit internal processor that operates at three million instructions per second. Front-panel controls include input level, effects mix, output level, program select and a very useful program adjust control, which allows you to adjust a specified parameter for each program. Power/input and dual-color signal input/clip LEDs are also provided. The NanoVerb packs its effects processing power into a hardy, ultra-compact 1/3 rack-space package. Suggested retail price is $179 (US).
