• Ambience
To hear the carefully designed default settings
for each of the Reverb types set PRE DELAY,
DECAY and COLOR knobs in “12 o’clock”
position (neutral).
It is worth noticing that the range of each of
these parameters will vary from algorithm to
algorithm.
As an example it is possible to set a much
longer decay time for a Classic or Concert Hall
Reverb than for a Drum Box.
Pre Delay
A short delay placed between the direct signal
and the reverb’s diffuse field. By using pre-
delay the source material is kept clear and
undisturbed by the more diffuse “reverb-tail”
arriving shortly after.
Decay
The Decay parameter determines the length of
the reverb diffuse field. The length is defined as
the time it takes for the reverb to decay
approximately 60dB.
Color
Varies the “color” of the reverb. From dark to
crisp and bright, the Color parameter can really
change the characteristics and style of the
reverb.
