17.2.1: REVERBS
LEXICON FX > REVERBS
Spread
Adjust reverb onset and sustain.
Low Spread settings result in a rapid onset of reverberation at the beginning of the envelope, with little or no
sustain. Higher settings spread out both the build-up and sustain.
High Cut
Adjust the amount of high frequency content in the reverberation tails.
Higher frequency settings increase high frequency response, creating brighter reverbs; lower frequency settings
create darker reverbs with more bass frequency emphasis.
Reverb High Cut
Set the frequency of a 6dB/octave low-pass filter on the reverberated signal.
It does not attenuate the reflections. High frequencies are often rolled off with this parameter, resulting in more
natural-sounding reverberation. Setting a low frequency for this parameter can actually shorten the reverb time,
as it damps the audio as it recirculates.
Bass Boost Frequency
Set the frequency at which the transition from Mid Rt to Low Rt takes place
This control should be set at least two octaves higher than the low frequency you want to boost. For example, to
boost a signal at 100Hz, set Bass Boost Frequency to 400Hz. (This setting works well for classical music.) Crosso-
ver works best around 400Hz for boosting low frequencies, and around 1.5 kHz for cutting low frequencies.
Bass Boost Ratio
Boost or cut frequencies below the Bass Boost Frequency.
The amount of boost or cut required is highly dependent on the material being processed.
Early Reflection Time
Adjust the amount of time before reverb early reflections occur.
