Reverb
Reverb simulates the effect of a sound reflecting off surfaces, and blending back in
with itself to form a continuous sound that takes on the characteristics of the space.
There are 2 insert effects in this category:
• Algoverb
• Reverb
Algoverb
Algoverb is a stereo reverb that offers flexible controls, without an overly complicated
structure. It also contains a series of “psychoacoustic” tone-shaping controls. Techni-
cally speaking, it’s composed of all pass filters in a network with tapped delays, and a
secondary row of controls that provide a stereo mid/side dynamics filter processor con-
figured in series.
CONTROLS
Pre-Delay
Control the amount of time (if any) that the reverb effect is delayed after the initial signal reaches the
unit, allowing the attack of a sound to be heard without processing.
Size
Increase (100%) or decrease (0%) the size of the space being emulated.
Decay
Increase (100%) or decrease (0%) the decay time of the reverb.
Density
Increase (100%) or decrease (0%) the density, also called diffusion. At higher densities, the reflec-
tions are broken up and dispersed more readily.
Early / Late
Control the ratio of early and late reflections between 0% and 100%.
Bandwidth
Set the frequency bandwidth between 1 kHz and 18 kHz.
Low
Boost the low frequencies between values of 0% (min) and 100% (max).
High
Boost the high frequencies between values of 0% (min) and 100% (max).
Center
Set the center frequency.
Stereo
Defaults to 50%, raise to 100% to increase the stereo image, and decrease to 0% to reduce it.
Mix
Controls the amount of the affected signal relative to the original (dry) signal.
