8.2.11 Module: Reverb
The VIP
digital
Reverb module allows the application of room simulations to the speaker signal. The
effects which can be implemented by this module, for example, can be used for the production of
jingles or in post-production to position the speaker in different acoustic environments. Or just
enhance the sound by adding a minimal amount of this effect.
However, this module is not to replace sophisticated and dedicated reverberations processors which
naturally offer significantly more parameters for a generation of effects. The focus is here on an effect
which can be set quickly and without extensive background knowledge within the area of short spatial
simulations.
The portions of so-called early reflections of the simulated room, i.e. the echo from the walls arriving
before the actual reverberation can be controlled independently of their reverb effect.
Direct Gain
This parameter controls the portion of the unprocessed original signal on the
output signal. The lower this value is set, the more dominating will be the
added effect. Please note that realistic room situation also requires a certain
portion of the original signal. Otherwise, the effect will sound unnaturally and
delayed.
Gain Early Reflections This parameter controls the portion of the
Early Reflections
of the simulated
room (see above). The higher this value is set, the better the early reflections
can be heard as a type of a very short echo in the output signal.
Reverb Gain
This parameter controls the portion of the reverb effect. The higher this value
is set, the louder the reverberation generated by the module can be heard in
the output signal.
Room Character
This parameter allows to influence the generated room simulation by
controlling the high frequency range. The higher the set value, the brighter
and “fresher” the generated effect will sound.
The Reverb module provides a stereo output. Therefore, it is the last but one module (before the
Limiter) in the signal path and its position is not variable as opposed to most of the other modules.
