loaded Effect Type (now marked with an asteriks in front of the name *) is
brought into the highlighted area :
This is because the loaded Effect Type remains loaded and is runnung, only
until a different Effect Type is loaded by pressing the Load button.
The same behaviour applies for the Category control.
9.3.6 effect parameters
On/Off : Switches the effect processing On and Off.
Mix : Allows to blend the unprocessed signal with the processed effect signal. Range
[0 .. 100] %
These two parameters are available for all Effect Types
9.3.6.1 reverbs
For the category
Reverbs
the following parameters are available :
Pre Delay : Creates an additional time delay between the source signal and the onset of
reverberation. This control is not intended to precisely mimic the time delays
in natural spaces, as the build-up of reverberation is gradual, and the initial
time gap is usually relatively short. For the most natural effect, the Pre Delay
values should be set in the range of 10-25 milliseconds. However, if a mix
is very busy or overly cluttered, increasing the Pre Delay time may help
clarify it, and set each instrument apart from each other.
Mid RT and Decay : Controls the amount of time the reverb can be heard. Higher settings increase
reverberation times which are usually associated with larger acoustical envi-
ronments, but can decrease intelligibility. Lower settings shorten reverb times
and should be used when a smaller apparent space or a more subtle effect is
desired.
Size : Size sets the build-up rate of diffusion after the initial period (which is
controlled by Diffusion). The Size control changes reverb sound from very
large to very small. Generally, set this control to the approximate Size of
the acoustic space being created, before adjusting anything else. The Size
in meters is roughly equal to the longest dimension of the space. Audio is
