EFFECTS SECTION
Room programs simulate small rooms with high frequency absorption
caused by drapes and furniture.
Plates simulate plate type reverbs with their tight, dense early reflec-
tions and sharp reverb build-up.
Chambers simulate medium sized rooms with hard reflective surfaces.
Hall programs recreate the open, spacious ambience of large concert
halls.
Early Reflection programs consist of the reflection cluster only with-
out the reverb decay. These effects are similar to a multiple tap delay
line and have a single adjustable parameter - Ambience.
The special reverbs Rain & Shimmer are variations of the early reflec-
tion programs and consist of a dense group of short echoes followed
by longer echoes.

Decay Time: 165
Place the cursor underneath the reverb name and use the data entry
control to change the type of reverb. Moving the cursor to the lower
line allows you to change the decay time of the reverb. The decay
times of the reverb programs range from 100-255. The ambience
control of the Early Reflection programs range from 0-100.
• Room
A bright, medium sized room. The apparent source position is fairly
close to the listener. Suitable for use with 100% wet mix setting for
adding ambience.
• Warm Room
This reverb is similar to “Room” with more high frequency absorption,
slightly larger size and a more distant source position.
• Small Room 1
This reverb is also to “Room” with shorter initial reflections, shorter
decay times and higher reflection density, due to the reduced room
size. The apparent source position is closer to the listener.
• Small Room 2
This reverb is a variation of “Small Room 1” with greater high fre-
quency damping and a more distant source position.
