The Parameters

Size (Reverb Size)
Size corresponds roughly to the length of the longest wall of a rectangular
room. A room has a geometry that causes sound to bounce around. When the
room size is small, the “walls” of this space are closer together and the resultant
reflection density increases. When the room size is large, that density decreases.
The most natural reverbs use room sizes that vary from about 24 meters to 45
meters or so, but there are many useful reverbs that are outside of this range.
There is a relationship between this parameter and the Reverb Time parameter.
Please see the Reverb Time parameter for clarification.
Spin
This parameter (along with Wander) controls randomization effects within the
reverb. Randomization is used to control the spectral purity of the reverb.
It can also—at some settings—create a more noticeable modulation effect.
Artificial reverbs sometimes create audible artifacts with some types of signals.
For example, a voiceover in a very small room might sound a little metallic.
Randomization works to minimize these effects and remove the sense of ringiness.
Spin controls the rate of randomization. In most cases, values between 1–2 Hz
are appropriate. Wander controls the amount by which various delay values may
be modulated. Typically, these values should be smaller for plates and chambers
or for very small rooms. But it’s always best to listen with the material you’re using.
Tap Slope
This parameter affects the relative gain of impulses coming from the reverb.It
will affect the timbre or the overall sense of spaciousness.
It can also be used to create inverse and gated effects. In this case, Reverb Time
should be at 0. Spread should be fairly high. Shape should be fairly high. Size
should be fairly high. Tap Slope should be in the range of (5 to 10).
Wander
This parameter, along with Spin, is used to control the reverb randomizer. It
controls the maximum size of randomizer steps, and is expressed in a time value.
