HF Bandwidth
100Hz to 21.2kHz
The high frequency bandwidth acts as a low pass filter
on the signal going into the reverb, controlling the
amount of high frequencies that will pass into the effect.
The higher the setting, the more high frequencies are
allowed to pass.
Primary Send
-99% to +99%
Controls the level of the diffused input signal into the
reverb definition.
Diffusion 1
0 to 100
Smears the input signal transients, to diffuse and
smooth the sound. Lower values will cause impulse
sounds to appear as a series of discrete echoes, while
higher values tend to increase the smear (smoother
sounding with fewer discrete echoes). We recommend
settings of 50 for starters.
Diffusion 2
0 to 100
This parameter, similar to and in series with Diffusion 1,
performs the same way but controls lower frequency
ranges. Experiment with different levels between the
diffusion parameters to find the settings that are right
for your source.
Definition
0 to 100
Controls the rate at which echo density is increased with
time. Setting this parameter too high can cause the echo
density to build at a rate which exceeds the decay rate.
Detune Rate
0.00Hz to 1.54Hz
Controls the LFO rate of detuning introduced into the
reverberation decay. Detuning creates a slight oscillating
pitch shift into the decay, giving it a more natural sound
by breaking up resonant nodes.
Detune Depth
0% to 100%
Controls the depth of the detuning, that is, how much
the pitch will change. Low values yield a metallic sound.
Some sounds may require very low values, while others
sound more natural with higher values.
PreDelay
0 to 36ms
Controls the amount of time it takes for the original
signal to be presented to the reverb. Higher values
denote a longer delay.
ER 1 Time
0 to 112ms
Controls the delay time for the first pre-echo. Pre-echoes
are the first sounds reflected back from the walls or
reflective ÒliveÓ surfaces. Higher values delay the
diffused signal more.
ER 1 Send
-99% to +99%
Controls the level of the first pre-echo, with the echo
routed directly to the output. The sign denotes the phase
of the echo.
ER 1 Level
-99% to +99%
Controls the level of the first pre-echo. This pre-level
controls the echo send to the Definition.
ER 2 Time
0 to 112ms
Controls the delay time for the second pre-echo.
ER 2 Send
-99% to +99%
Controls the level of the second pre-echo, with the echo
routed directly to the output.
ER 2 Level
-99% to +99%
Controls the level of the second pre-echo. As a signal
continues to bounce off the different reflective surfaces
(walls), it decreases in volume. Set this parameter to a
lower value than Ref 1 Level, in order to create a natural
sounding echo.
Position 1
Position 2
Position 3
-99% to +99%
-99% to +99%
-99% to +99%
These parameters simulate the depth of the hall. Think
of them as three different microphones placing at
various distances within the hall (Position 1 is closest to
the front, and Position 3 is farthest from the front).
When the range (volume) is higher for Position 1, the
sound appears closer to the front, whereas a higher
setting for Position 3 appears farther from the front,
suggesting a deeper (wetter) hall. The sign denotes the
phase of the echo.
Output Bal
Full <L to Full >R
Controls the left/right stereo balance of the reverb
signal.
