The Parameters

Reverb Level
This parameter controls the level of reverb tail going to the output channels.
Reverb Time
Reverb Time is the mid frequency reverb time (in the frequency above Bass XOV
and below RT Hi-Cut). As such, it is one of the primary controls affecting the
length of the reverb tail. It may be considered to model the reflectivity of the
walls in the reverberant space.
The parameter most closely associated with Reverb Time is Size. A large room
size with a small Reverb Time can easily have the same decay time as a small
room with a large Reverb Time. Even though the two solutions may result in the
same reverb time, they will sound quite different from one another. The value
that is actually displayed is an approximate reverb time based on both of those
values. The actual time is also highly-dependent on other parameters as well as
the audio material.
Rolloff
This parameter lets you set the cutoff frequency of the output filter.
RT Hi Cut
This parameter, also known as Hi-Cut or RTHC, is a low-pass filter in the
recirculating part of the reverb. It represents a frequency above which the tail
dies away more quickly. In some ways, it represents the opposite end of the
scale from BassRT, and may be considered an analog of air absorption.
Shape and Spread
The Shape parameter is closely tied to the Spread parameter. Shape controls how
energy is injected into the reverberator. A low value means that sound enters the
reverb at the beginning of the spread window. A high value means that most sound
moves into the reverb at the end of the spread window. A value somewhere in the
middle means that sound enters the reverb evenly across the spread window.
Tip:
Shape will not have this effect if spread is at its minimum value. But
even then, it can make a difference. In this case, it affects reverb timbre and
density. Higher values of shape may be both darker and denser, although the
effect is subtle.
The Spread parameter is closely tied to the Shape parameter. Spread is a
window of time during which a signal is injected into the reverb. Shape controls just
how the signal is injected during this window. Together, the two parameters create
an envelope for the early portion of the reverb, as shown in this illustration:
Shape = Anything,
Spread = 0%
Shape = 64,
Spread = 75%

Shape = 32,
